There seems to be a baby explosion in my town. Everywhere I go I see young pregnant women, but none of them seem to be wearing maternity clothes. You know, baggy clothing that actually looks comfortable instead of tight-fitting fabric stressed at the seams.
These soon-to-be mothers must be on a tight budget, because they're wearing everything they wore before they became pregnant, and it's not attractive. This lets-not-wear-maternity-clothes trend may have started when Demi Moore posed pregnant and nude on the cover of Vanity Fair back in 1991. It "sparked controversy," but I think it made a lot of pregnant women feel beautiful. The problem is--not all pregnant women LOOK like Demi Moore.
Maybe I'm just old-fashioned, with my Crocs and sweats, but comfortable clothing will always be my first choice.
And what's bugging YOU today?
in the UK even the weather girl wears whilst heavily pregnant in leggings and tight t-shirt, problem is she blocks out half of the map.
