Drastic Clothing Measures

RoxRing · July 2011

After trying on 3 pair of my maternity bottoms today (Capris and skirts) and feeling completely restricted in all of them I resorted to taking a pair of scissors to the elastic of one of my maternity jean skirts.

Ahh....I can breathe again.

Really though, I made little snips all around it and it actually fits again. Easier than going out and buying more!

I've considered this. It's bullsh!t when they tell you "buy the size you were pre-pregnancy. Really? cuz I was a 4 and these days I'm buying maternity Old Navy 8 and Motherhood larges. Angry I can't even get a leg into a 4! I really don't think I'm that big either.

I have to go buy a new pair of shorts. The elastic is stretched as far as it could go now.

Ughh...I've been dreading going shopping this week for my shower outfit. Good idea on clipping the elastic, I would've assumed that it would pinch after that. Maybe I'll have to try that on my 'below' the belly maternity pants that now dig into my belly.

The below the bellies are the worst on me, my lo stays really low for the most part. It gets very uncomfortable!

I'm still in my pre-pregnancy size maternity jeans... it makes me feel better that I'm still wearing a size 26 in some universe.

Try the Egg cotton pants, very comfy and stretchier that the things at Motherhood. The Rosie Pope pants are also good, I got both off of Gilt.com, I don't know if they still have them. The elastic on both hits at the belly button.

THIS!

The full panel bands are getting a little more snug now that my belly is huge and 1 of the 2 LOs always has their butt pressed out against either the left or right of my belly button---but when I tried a larger size on the legs looked rediculous because all of my weight gain has been in my belly, which is in some weird way very comforting.

Agree!! I bought some shorts when I was 4months and now they are on the verge of not fitting!!

all my maternity jeans/shorts that I got initially (and I waited untill well after first Trimester) are really uncomfortable now. I feel like in the last 3 days she dropped a ton, and I think she changed positions too. All her 'kicks' are now closer to my belly button and I have tons of pelvic pressure, and anything I wear that isn't stretchy seems to be super uncomfortable, and my belly is so low that the maternity panels dont' seem to be low enough. there is no way I could do under the belly pants.

This!! I couln't even buy the size I was pre-prego 2 months ago! And I've only gained 2-4 lbs a month. They lie!!
