Im 15 weeks pregnant with no 2 and have a number of nice occasions i need dresses for- one i can probs use an old maxi dress for. I feel like I've seen every maternity dress there is!! Bought one mamalicious lace dress (suuuper comfy btw). But most im still too small for so would have baggy sides.
Pre pregnancy i was fluctuating around 7stone 9 ish and unfortunately my weight gain has been off the charts (i was over eating due to nausea, stopped breastfeeding and stopped being up all night rocking my son all in a oner as he's sleeping better). I've gained about 10lbs whereas i think about 5 would be more acceptable. Have started running again but need to tackle my eating habits too.
Please don't misunderstand me im 5 ft 4 so my current weight probably isn't unhealthy and i genuinely appreciate people battle worse weight problems. Its just i feel like this entire 10lbs has been dumped in one place on my flabby belly which i haven't got the wardrobe for. When i try none maternity ...fitted dresses show the dreaded belly button outline and most floaty ones dont do me any favours. I'm fussy and only want knee length or maxi dresses.
I've tried every site and store i can think of and even extras I've read about so i don't think anyone can help me im just venting. I was so tempted to start importing dresses in my 1st pregnancy and now i remember why! We don't all want to wear casual jersey mini dresses ��. Am i on my own here?!
Its the dreaded in between stage where i have a food baby and i find myself holding my stomach muscles in because i feel like i shouldn't be so big yet. If i relaxed...tbh it maybe would look like a bump to people who know, but i think theyd be shocked and point it out which i would find really hard.. the other friends who haven't heard yet would wonder why ive gained so much.
Ahh sorry for the rant i know there are worse problems!!
