Materntiy Clothes and WORK

So Im at a point where I refuse to purchase more clothes since Im 10wks away...getting bigger by the minute
and getting uncomfortable!

I work in a business casual place but today Im in JEANS!
Luckily I work for a boss who is understanding but I cant wear the work pants anymore....they are killing my belly Chat Icon

My twin belly only fits into about three pairs of pants and maybe four shirts.

I wasn't plus sized pre-preggo but now they are the only maternity clothes that fit around my tummy.

So I do a lot of laundry.

I'm sure everyone will understand. You are near the end and not expected to be at the height of fashionChat Icon

I'm sure you are totally fine. I had a friend here at work who towards the end of her pregnancy came into work in sweatpants and flip flops- we are business casual here- but she didnt care- and neither did anyone else!

Re: Materntiy Clothes and WORK

I know how you feel. I only fit into 2, maybe 3 pairs of my maternity pants and 1 of those is jeans which we are not allowed to wear to work. I have on jeans today. It is too bad. I am due in 6 weeks, I am big, swollen, uncomfortable and not buying anymore maternity clothes either.

Re: Materntiy Clothes and WORK

I only have about 3-4 pairs of work pants - and I just rotate them... Most of them have elastic waist bands, and 2 pairs are black, so I wear them almost everyday... I have a few suits that I wear for work as well...

When I had my first I wore whatever I wanted since my workplace was business casual. I did have a bunch of slacks and dress shirts since I had a lot of client interaction and presentations. Everyone pretty much understood and didn't care when I was in jeans and sneakers every day towards the end. I was waddling by then. One of my co-workers was preggo during the summer months and she wore flip flops with her business clothes since her feet were like tree trunks.

Re: Materntiy Clothes and WORK

I hear what you are saying. I can see my maternity pants getting really uncomfortable as the weeks go on. I'm starting to buy more stretchy-type pants for when I'm home on maternity leave. I wish I could wear them to work! Chat Icon
