Question:
How awful is it if my maternity clothes are getting too tight on me? I'm about 8 1/2 months pregnant an my clothes are stretched tightly across my belly and breasts. Does this look too obscene to go out in public? What can be done if I'm too big for maternity clothes?
Answer:

First, give yourself a break. Here are the facts:

1. You're pregnant.
2. Your belly and body grow when you're pregnant.
3. You are almost 9 months pregnant!

What you think may look obscene, everyone else simply sees a woman who is going to have a baby. Many women who are as far along as you feel the same way. Everything is tight! Find the maternity clothes you are most comfortable in and wear them over and over. When you are this far along, people will cut you a lot of slack, cut yourself some too. Keep in mind you are about to be blessed with a miracle, these last few weeks and what your wear are trivial. Good Luck!
