Dressing When You're Pregnant

You're thrilled to know you're expecting however you're not so thrilled about the idea of gaining a few extra pounds and not being able to fit into your old clothes. Hopefully these few tips help you :)

First thing, is to borrow and NOT buy. Maternity clothes can be sooo expensive! Especially considering you'll only be wearing them for a short few months (if even that). It's easier and cheaper to borrow from friends and family members then go on shopping sprees on a weekly basis. So BORROW BORROW BORROW!

Secondly, We all have those sweatpants, jeans, t-shirts, and sweatshirts that are way to big for us when we're not pregnant so why not wear them when you are expecting? While they may not fit forever, they'll get the job done for the time being. And while you're at it, check your hubby's closet too. More than likely, his clothes are way bigger than yours and you'll be much comfier in his tshirt than in a tight fitting dress. I used to wear Scott's clothes all the time while I was pregnant. Thank god Scott has good style :)

Another thing I have found is that it's cheaper to buy clothes that are in "plus sizes" than actual maternity style brands. So go to stores that specialize in plus sizes instead of maternity. And don't buy maternity clothes too soon or you'll find that they're too big for you at the time and too small for you later on. 

Don't be afraid to flaunt your body and show some skin. This is the most precious time of your life and there's nothing more beautiful than a pregnant woman. Feel free to show some cleavage and legs here and there. I was never afraid to flaunt my body in a bikini at 8 months pregnant. It made me feel beautiful and who cares what the haters think. This is your time to shine, do what you want!

Another issue is your feet constantly swelling. DON'T WEAR HEELS, IT'S TORTURE! Choose something like flats or shoes with wide, chunky heels. Your feet will love you for it a little more.Another hint, buy slipons. Who wants to be bending over and tying shoelaces at 9 months pregnant.

Hope these tips help dolls!
