Confidence Wrecker

Nothing wrecks your confidence more than trying to buy new clothes while sporting a huge pregnant tummy...literally cried in all the stores. It doesn't help that there are no maternity stores around my area either. So I just look fat and frumpy. Going from a size 1 and size small to size 9 and size large really messes with a person. I didn't even buy anything...so sad :(

Aw that s*cks! You can shop online and order from both stores :) also maxi dresses are great! They are nice and cool and you'd still be a small

I just got the size I wear in normal clothes. I used to be a medium so I got medium maternity clothes. They fit really well. AND they dont make you look any bigger than you are.

Mommy_daddy_2 - Sadly, no. I have one clothing store in my town and then 40 minutes away there's a stage and a jcpennies..and I swore one of those would of had a maternity section and they didn't.

Munch2369 - Yeah, my whole pregnancy I've been wearing tank tops and running shorts..and those are barely cutting it now. And it's just so hot where I live that I get too hot in sweats. But I think I will try to find flowy shirts...once I get my spirits up again lol.

I havent bought any maternity clothes or any new clothes at all and i get the same feeling when i try to wear my cothes and nothing fits. For pants ive just been wearing my yoga pants and cute sweat pants. For shirts try getting cute shirts that are loose, like cute v necks and shirts that are kinda baggy around the tummy like baby doll style. I refuse to wear maternity clothes lol especially since im,due in a month now and it would be pointless. I still wear my tank tops i bet there gonna be super loose when everything is back to normal. Dont get urself down about it u are growing a baby this is supposed to happen.
