    There’s a similar dress on the maternity friend list to your dress #1.

    ETA: Even with 1 baby you’re still giant at 35 weeks :-(

    The cowel back or another one?

    Not nearly as giant as I was with the twins... my belly literally went out to my knees when I sat down.  I was measuring 48 weeks at 36 weeks and didn’t deliver for another 2 weeks after that. Hoping I’m not even close to that size this time!

  • Yeah the cowel back one. 

    I measure right on track at 35 weeks, but that was around the time my maternity clothes started getting tight.
  • I think at 35 weeks pregnant, I’d go with a maternity dress. At that point comfort will be your biggest concern anyway! Don’t force a dress that’s not meant for it. 
  • I’m in a wedding 9 days before my due date. No way in heck I’m going to be able to wear anything that isn’t maternity. The bride is my SIL to be, she and I are close so she knows already and is totally understanding.  We’ll pick a dress together that goes with the feel she wants but will be comfortable on my giant belly.
  • Thanks Ladies!  I went back today to try dresses again.  They don’t have any maternity specific dresses, just dresses that are better to accommodate a belly if you’re pregnant (which is what the maternity list was).  I tried on 3 dresses and ended up with the cowel back dress, which is the one I thought I’d get when I looked online before stepping foot in the store, but since my mom hated it on me I didn’t have it on the list.  Glad you ladies convinced me to give it another shot.  They also had a belly pillow, so after trying the dresses in bigger sizes with the pillow, the consultant and I agreed to go up an extra size (so 3 sizes up from my current size instead of 2).

    Thank you all so much for your input, support and finding the maternity list!  I really appreciate it!
