I popped into Motherhood Maternity over the weekend. I had no clue what to expect in terms of sizing or anything, really, so the saleswoman showed me around the store. I do not yet need maternity clothes, but maternity underwear is a different story.
My normal undies started fitting tight a few weeks ago. I had an unattractive double-belly situation going on. I mentioned to Junior that I thought it was time to get a bigger size, and he responded that I should get some maternity underwear. Um, no! I probably rolled my eyes. I was not mentally prepared for such a leap. I envisioned baby pink, huge granny-panties (you know, the pair Kevin Bacon held up and looked at dismally when comparing them to his wife's pre-pregnancy pair in She's Having My Baby). I joked about this with a new-mommy friend, but she seriously told me I needed to go the maternity route. I'm so glad I did! The style looks the same to me, but the bands don't cut into my belly. And they're cute. Woot!
I also tried on a pair of the secret-fit jeans. That was a trip. I even strapped on the six-month padded belly they had in the dressing room. I think I'm lucky I'll be pregnant in south Florida during the hottest part of the year because I won't be wearing jeans often. They weren't so cute. Let's just say there was severe butt sagging. The saleswoman tried to tell me it won't be a problem once I have a bigger belly, but I don't believe her. Ugh, jeans. They're never easy.
