Opinions and Frustrations

Since this has happened twice here's my rant.

So just because im pregnant i have to change my whole attire! It really pisses me off when my fiance or mom talks crap. Making me change and making me feel insecure.

First issue. I have a tight fitting dress. Mid thigh. It actually was really sexy prepregnancy. MY FIANCE USE TO LOVE THAT DRESS. So one day i went through all of my maternity clothes all of my dresses, i really was frustrated and put that on. I still felt cute and sexy. As soon as my mom seen the dress i picked "pregnant girls dont dress like that!" And when i went to see my fiance HE SAID HE WASNT CLAIMING ME! I was so embarrassed i changed into another dress that i had in my sleepover bag in the car -_- some long summer dress. Not tight at all cute but im def. Tired of Wearing clothes likes like this!!

Today im looking to get a new car. So i stayed at my moms so i could wake up w. Her to start my search. All the men are working or have to babysit other kids in the fam. So i have a pair of jeans that i love light blue w. Rips on them. Im so happy im one week from 6months and they still fit :) so i wore That w. Black tank and over the black tank i wore a gray crop top that has designs on it.

My mother starts saying "Pregnant women dont wear crop tops" and shes not going anywhere w. Me dressed like this. Well i held my ground. And we are heading to the dealers.

I refuse to be the type in a oversized t-shirt and sweat pants for the rest of my pregnancy.

Am i the only one??

If celebrities can show off their baby bump in tight fitting dresses with their whole back showing, why can't we? No one criticizes them. We don't need to be famous to be sexy. Go for it!

Well,  I agree that there are some women who look really cute in stretchy tops or dresses where you can clearly see the baby bump,  and from your profile pic you look like one of those moms.

My point was,  if your fiance is embarrassed by something you're wearing,  don't wear it   :(     Whether that means it's too sexy or too frumpy.  Whichever.

Thank you especially those are on my side. I appreciate every comment tho :). I love my fiance to death but me n him def joke in ways that may seem harsh. When i changed into that other long dress he loved me up n called me sexy but... i am not showin my belly buttn or anything. I dont think i am dressing unmodestly.

They are maternity clothes that are cute. I have a couple but too make me feel like i can't where any of my prepregnancy clothes because i am carrying a child is a bit much.

Thanks tho that support the proud belly! If where a tight dress who cares? I love my body. Belly or no belly. My fiance and mom are jerks! (even tho i love them)

I wear allot of leggings and I wore my jeans until they absolutely would not fit me anymore. my bf yells at me saying leggings are slutty but idx I stand my ground & wear them anyway bc they are super comfortable & I dont wanna be in maternity clothes all the time. now that in 40 weeks (even once I was about 35 wks) I was getting huge & from 35 weeks on I been wearing sweats and t-shurts or leggings & long shirts because in just too tired and huge to even care anymore. but I say if u can still fit into your regular clothes fkaunt it girl! there were allot if dresses over the sumner I would wear that my mom and bf didnt like but I wore them anyway. I dont let anybody tell me what to dress like!!  you wear what's comfy and makes u feel pretty!

Don't worry about it. I wear any of my before big belly clothes that still fit. With my first pregnancy I had a bunch of very stretchy sexy dresses. I had strapless, mini skirt that barely covered my butt and super stretchy. I still wore mine and my husband loved it. I have always look care of my self and wore cute and sexy clothes, he enjoyed me still doing the same while pregnant. His mom however got mad that I still wore cute clothes and did my hair and makeup. My husband got mad about the stuff she said and said that I should still look great even though I am pregnant. Now I am more worried about comfort and I will wear his pj pants all day, put my hair up in a sloppy ponytail and go with no or minimal makeup, he hates it and thinks even on my sixth pregnancy I should worry about my looks and still look amazing. Yeah right like I have time for that or feel up to it.

If you still have time and energy to make sure you look great than go for it. If your boyfriend makes comments like that again then turn it around on him. If he says I won't go with you dressed like that or I will not claim you then look at him with a straight face and say I was thinking the same thing but thought it might be rude to say so. Then tell him he may want to reevaluate his appearance before y'all leave.

Who decides that pregnant women aren't sexy? Why don't pregnant women wear nicer clothes? You are pregnant not diseased. That is just rediculous.

There are plenty of maternity clothes that are not oversized and baggy.  You can maybe slow try purchasing a few items of really cute clothing that's aren't maternity that are a little more modest. If it were just my mom constantly critizing my wardrobe choices then I would ignore it but as soon as my husband started telling he wasn't going to claim me then I would definitely be taking a second look at how I am presenting myself as far as my dress attire was concerened.

Since your fiance doesn't like you to dress like that either and it embarrasses him,  I think you should dress more modestly.

I'd hate to think my looks were embarrassing to my partner.

Your mom needs to have several seats! You wear what's comfortable for you! There is no reason to hide your bump! #proudbelly

To each their own. I dress modestly year round so getting into oversized style wasn't a huge change. Plus it's what's in style right now depending where you shop.
