    clothes and pregnancy- tight or baggy

    Do you show off your bump, or hide it? How does this compare to what you do when you are not pregnant?

    I'm not sure what to wear. I usually go baggy rather than tight stuff, but my usual clothes are getting tight. I don't want to just look fat, but am finding to hard to choose clothes that i know will show my bump. I think i am going to struggle bit with getting bigger.

    urgh

    i like nice soft fitting things when pg, you don't want things too baggy or they look a little daggy iykwim? i wore heaps of comfy brands like Wyse and Metallicus. leggings with a babydoll type top or even a couple of hippy skirts from Tree of Life with singlets look great too and more importantly feel comfy.

    I have bought some great shelf bra long tank tops from target in the normal section (They are soo stretchy) and have been layering with a drapey open shirt/top/cardi look over the top. that way I can show off my hard sought after bump but not look too trashy like I think some people can tend to go.

    Fitted for me! I loved showing off my bump, and I was so proud of my preggie body : )

    I found wearing baggy clothes made me look and feel fat, not pregnant!

    Definitely show off my bump Although I do have some looser fitting clothes which still sit nice and close over my belly. When I'm not pregnant, I like to wear those flowy babydoll style tops to hide my post baby jelly belly lol

    I find most tops are quite easy to find, even just the Miss Shop ones from Myer do the trick as they are stretchy. Jeans and pants are the ones to go all out on. I swear a good pair of maternity jeans is soooo comfy than trying to squeeze into your ordinary pair.

    hi, first congrats on you pregnancy. i was always really conciouse of my figure before i got pregnant, then around the time you are now, when i could see i was getting a baby bump but to the normal person i just looked like id put on a few kgs i just stopped caring, i worn tight tops and loved my belly, thankfull it wasnt too long till i actually started to look pregnant not just fat , i LOVED my belly and worn things that hugged it!! id never felt so comfortable with my body! if i wore a loose top, especially towards the end i would tie a belt under my belly to show it off still!! I still feel a little more confident about my body now! good luck with everything.
