Alright, I am wearing maternity jeans for the first time today, as I am officially sized out of my last pair of pants, at 22+ weeks. (For those readers who will never do this or never have, when I lie down now, it feels like I have a basketball in my abdomen. A wriggly basketball.) I spent the summer reading NPR's blog "The Baby Project," since, suddenly, it had something to do with my own experience. (I don't guess NPR is going to re-do the project, leaving me to post about the indignities here in a familiar setting.) One of the pregnant commenters recommended just going ahead and moving into maternity clothes, since they are comfortable. I'm not sure, myself.
I have figured out that the real mechanism keeping these pants up is supposed to be one's front profile, but mine is kind of shallow right now, and it's not fulfilling the purpose. So for the time being, I'm dealing with the constant sensation that my pants are sliding down. I hope it improves. (Dear Old Navy, please consider making maternity jeans in something other than 'skinny' or 'flare.' What would be wrong about a nice trouser style?)
Despite how popular leggings and tunic tops have been for 15 years, I never actually wore an outfit like this. But leggings are now my dear friends.
