really sucks.
I hate it... I wish I could just throw on a loose skirt, singlet, thongs and necklace and be done with my outfit for the day, like I could with Izzy and not worry about how comfortable I am because I AM comfortable.... So easy to look nice in summer.
My pg jeans are harry high pants ones that roll down when I'm sitting and after a few hours kill my c/s scar area.
My cargos are not pg ones and still fit but sit low on my scar and hurt...
My skirts are all flowy summery ones that would look terrible with tights and ballet slippers...
My work pants are work pants
My MOST comfy pants right now are my Bonds black trackies - mmmmm great look.... and I really am one of those people who feel cr@p if I am dressed like cr@p!
Anyone else find this?????
Methinks I will go shopping today and buy SOMETHING nice but casual to wear.
I havent been able to find any pg clothes that fit, that dont cost $200 for a pair of pants (cause Im so small). The pg stuff I have got doesnt fit properly (all too big). And its all too thin & Im always cold coz its the middle of winter & the jumpers are made out of t-shirt material.
Im pretty much living in trackies, and not going anywhere! It makes me feel better if I put some make-up on though, even if Im just hanging around the house.
So Im glad I only have a couple of weeks to go!
Its different up here cos its still warmish during the day, and I get away with wearing DH's shorts (he is a pretty big bloke) and they are very comfy!!!!
But I'm happy to go around the house in my trackies. For appointments I have found really good maternity pants that slip on and go over your bump (yes the entire bit) and while it looks very unfash until you put a shirt on, they are super super comfy... I think I got them from Big W or Target?? I have two pairs.. lifesavers they are... you can dress them up or down...
yep i would so rather be pregnant in summer.. clothes are just way too uncomfy. I said to DP the other day "why the hell cant i just walk around naked" he said "well its too cold and it illegal!" too cold!! im hating them words. Its not my fault its too cold. Im soooo over having the flu aswell!! Im over having to go out and "rug up" coz more than likely its too hot in certain shops so i spend all day getting hot then cold!! Not only that.. the stupid rain!!!! i have never slipped over soooo many times this winter
SOrry but i have alot to rant about this winter! bring on that warm weather!!!!
I noticed some really pretty things in Target this week. I got brilliant mat pants from there and its cheap enough you will be able to get a few pieces.
Hope you find something that makes you feel beautiful .
I am 27 and pregnant, not 55 you stoooopid clothing designers! (oh silly me, you can get funkee stuff if you are willing to fork out $$$$$ for things you are only going to wear for a few months).
I nearly broke down crying in target the other day looking at stuff, its just so "blah"
i bought a pair of mat jeans and i have lived in them ever since - but they just arent cool, my honey says they look like eminem pants cos they have the "undies" built in ya, thanks baby, feel realllllll sexy now! grrrrr
I had to laugh at the bond trackies i lived in mine when pg last winter. I even swapped my black work pants for them and wore them to work with my blouse- noone ever noticed. I agree with LuLu try target or even Kmart you only need 1-2 items that are versatile and you will be right .I also found that i could wear my normal pre pg pants undone with a belly belt or boob toob over the top and then a nice top and still felt decent.
Dorry you are feeling a bit glum go and spend some money it will make you feel better- it always does me.
Hoody
I know what you mean, I went shopping for my first maternity clothes last weekend and they were either really expensive or really frumpy!
Maybe a bit late for you Tanstar, but what I've just done is taken my fave old lowrise skinny jeans into the alterations shop and got them to sew in a triangle of stretchy navy blue material into the seams at the waist (Im sure it can be done easily at home but I dont have a sewing machine). Now I still have nice fashionable jeans that are still comfy, and only cost me $20!
Luckily for me my babies not due til end of Dec so at least I'll get a bit of summer to show off my belly, im gonna wear short tops n paint flowers on it!
I was pregnant though summer and although it was in the early part it nearly killed me. I was soooooo hot and I could not get comfortable no matter what I wore (all clothes made me feel ridiculously hot). Could not imagine how bad it would be to be in the third tri and having to deal with the heat.
Different story for winter. I lived in maternity jeans from Kmart & Big W. I had two pairs - both were comfy as. I had a couple of long sleeved mat T's, two belly bands and a couple of short sleeved mat tops & mixed and matched them with all my stretchy non mat tops. I was able to wear the mat jeans right up until the day before I went into labour. I'm still wearing them even though I don't need to - just so comfy.
My only issue with clothing through winter was when I got into my last tri and my feet got swollen. I had to stop wearing socks as all my socks became too tight and left huge ridges in my legs. Very uncomfortable. I ended up buying thick stretchy socks like you wear to bed but couldn't wear them when I wore shoes. Basically I had to go sockless and ended up with only two pairs of shoes I could wear - one pair of enclosed shoes and one slip on. In the last month I could only wear the slip ons.
One of the great pleasures after giving birth was being able to wear ordinary socks and and being able to wear all my shoes again, but I had to wait a whole two weeks to do this as it took that long for the swelling to go down.
Being pregnant in winter....
