Tight fitted pregnacy clothing ? Only looks good on thin ladies ?

"Maternity tight clothes won't look good on you because you big and round ? So today I was told by a coworker that I should start wearing loser clothing for my growing belly....im bearly 4 months pregnant !!!!! Really ???? So I don't look good with what I'm wearing ??? I believe that when pregnet we should wear clothes that I (we) are comfortable I will not change the way I dress to please other people !!!!!

Who ever yr co worker is needs to shut her mouth. U should wear whatever u want. You don't have to hide or pregnancy or wear big clothes because u r not skin and bones. You r pregnant and that is a beautiful thing. My whole life I was 120pds but after my 2nd pregnancy I never really lost the weight. So when I got pregnant this time I was the already a lil over weight. That didn't stop me from buying fitting maternity clothes. I love to show off my growing belly. Nobody should be telling some one what they can and can not wear but even more so when u r pregnant. Is she jealous that u r happy or is she just a B***h. I am leaning towards she is a B****h lol. So embrace yr pregnancy show off that belly.

Like two these comments are ridiculous.  Like one didn't really read her paragraph.  The other is to judgemental. She never said in her paragraph that she ask for lady advice, or opinion.  She asked us ours on situation yes. But not once did you read her saying she asked for lady opinion.  

Honestly it not anyone place tell someone else how to dress.  To have an opinion on others clothing choices is not anyone place but a husband or wife. Now I don't agree on how some mothers dress, simply cause the ones I see are half naked carrying around a kid. But I don't through my opinion out there on them either.  Sometimes your opinion can turn into bullying not cool. We apost be women and build each other's confidence,  Not break it,  But if someone ask me for my honest opinion I would give it, if asked.  

Ps none of us know how she dress unless we see her in pictures or person. Wear what you want. Just thank lady for her advice but tell her your happy with your choice of clothing.  Ty

I say pffffft to her! Lol. Are you following the dress code at work? If it's yes then tough cookies lady, she'll just have to deal with your close fitting maternity stuff. I'm most excited to be able to wear my tighter summer clothes this year since now I have a cute baby bump excuse and not just a lumpy post-baby belly from my previous two kids ;p It's definitely an age thing though... my mom is in her mid 50s and she likes to buy me maternity clothes when she's out goodwill shopping lol and they're always hideous and baggy, but i don't want to be rude so I thank her and make sure to wear them at least once in her presence :)

Hey M- It was good you asked an opinion. She gave you honest feedback. You need not slam her for her honesty. Remember that you are the adult in the room with the kids...You did not like what she said because you took the feedback as a personal slam...Why not ask your boss and a couple of colleagues to give you feedback on your wardrobe. and if they do say you should cover up or wear looser stuff, recognize that they are helping you and not trying to slam you. Wouldn't you prefer to be respected by your peers vs. spoken about behind your back? A sign of maturity is being able to accept professional critique from peers and use it to your advantage to make positive changes to advance yourself....If your not comfortable asking, look atound At other teachers, figure out what you like about what they wear and ask them where they shop. Remember that taking photos of yourself in clothes and evaluating the outfit in a photo on your body will give you better perspective.

You asked for advice...this is mine. It is sent to you with sincere honest and kind eords. Please do not slam me for it if you do not agree with it.

Have a healthy happy pregnancy M!

I was always pretty skinny no matter what I did before pregnancy and I totally loved wearing tight fitting clothes that showed off how big my belly was getting! I wore regular clothes until about third trimester and now all I wanna wear is loose stuff, and silky stuff lol no one ever said crap to me about it, but I hardly leave the house much unless its to walk in the park because bras for me are sooooo uncomfortable

I have been a size 10-18 my whole life and find absolutely nothing cute or sexy about us big girls wearing tight clothes that show where all the flab is. As for the pregnancy, I have opted to purchase/wear some of my reg. bigger size clothes vs. the tight trendy maternity stuff. After all, I look more beer belly right now vs. Preg. Bump.

But to each his own....

I am a professional working in an office/corporate setting and wear professional clothes....button down shirts with collars, sweaters, slacks, or nice jeans and crisp starch shirts....hard to find quality preg. Items that are professional as most are made really cheap/trendy at the mall.

It really depends on wear you work and how you want to present yourself to others....Talk to a close friend who is honest and frank with you about your style choices and or get them to take some pictures of you dressed in stuff so you can really see what your body is up to....mirrors sometimes line to us
