Pregnant after a Loss

Vent about my maternity clothes!!

My MIL took my shopping for maternity clothes last week for my birthday. I decided to give a pair of pants a go today at work and all I wanted to do was come home and take them off!!

I feel like they are more baggy then I remember from when I tried them on a few nights ago, so I felt frumpy all day. And the band around my belly just made it uncomfortable to eat breakfast, so I rolled it down, but then the pants kept sliding down my waist, ugh! I just felt like an unattractive mess all day! And not that I'm trying to look good for anyone (especially 27 2nd graders), but still sometimes when you don't feel like you look good, you don't feel good.

And to top it off, some of my regular pants, even with the belly band, are just getting too tight around my butt and hips and the zipper digs into my stomach making it really uncomfortable! I just wish I could wear stretchy workout pants or pj bottoms to work and solve this whole problem! Ok, vent done! Thanks for reading my craziness!

  • I find that if I wear my pants for too long (or two days in a row because yeah, I'm lazy like that) they will still fall down for me. Mat pants are just starting to fit me to where they stay up half the time. Try washing and drying them to see if they tighten up a bit. Otherwise, you and I can go in and design some fashionable suspenders for maternity pants. lol

  • My fav mat pants are just low rise jeans without the zipper/button.  There is nothing that comes up and over my belly to bug me, and they sit comfortably without falling down.  I've been rocking them since 16w's and they still fit great.  Plus, you can't tell they are mat pants :)  I got them at old navy for about $8 with a coupon.

    HAHA suspenders make me think of my dad! His pants are always falling down, so on holidays my mom makes him wear suspenders so as not to embarass the rest of us! lol

  • I have been loving all my pants and they have the secret fit belly thing that comes up to your boobs.  Well, the past 2 weeks I guess I have just gotten to big for them and now I am having to roll them down, but it slides all over the place and rolls up and it just basically uncomfortable. I think I am going to be wearing my yoga sweat pants to all my christmas functions as I can't stand more than an hour in my nice clothes. 

    I wish they made baby legs for adults.

  • I had the exact same issues at just the same point as you are at now- I felt like a frumpy dumpy mess half the time and you're right, it just makes you feel bummed out. The bump will soon get cuter and pants start to feel somewhat less obnoxious, but until then, just know you're not alone!
