Meghan Markle looks like she's having twins

[Anonymous]

Just because she can wear non maternity clothing doesn’t mean she should. Especially for the price of that dress - she look a like a sausage stuffed into its casing with creases and wrinkles and back bulges. Not that she needs to wear a tent but just something that’s cut for her changing body.

Yeah, this is over the top

Agree, but it could be a nervous/self consciousness thing too.

You always feel bigger than you are when preg and being under the microscope may make MM feel really paranoid so she kinda puts her hand there....?...which ironically really just draws more attention to it.

I thought her face and arms are bloated.

Her baby kicked her in a video (you can see the foot and everything against her stomach o.o) and you can see her hand move to touch the kick. First-time mom with movements and flutters. Hands to settle it down or bring comfort.

The kid is saying THIS DRESS IS TOO TIGHT!

Are you guys all older moms? Younger moms (including Markle's generation; I'm in it) often do stretchy tops/dresses and don't buy actual maternity stuff. All this pearl-clutching over the stretchiness of the dress just seems old-fashioned. If you're younger, it seems petty.

um...not so young. She's 37, or AMA (Advanced Maternal Age). I'm 40, so in her generation and I would never wear that dress, bought maternity stuff, etc.) Younger moms = 20-something to lower 30-something.

PP here. I didn't buy much maternity stuff at all, and I'm between your age and Megan's. When I think of those maternity tent shirts etc., I think of people in my mom's generation.

Perhaps a better term is cohort vs. younger moms. More recent cohorts of moms seem to be wearing less maternity clothes. That one should cover up one's pregnant belly just seems like a dated notion.

It’s not a young vs old. It’s a class distinction. If you wear high quality expensive and well tailored clothing it doesn’t stretch as easily. The women continuing to wear normal clothing late in pregnancy are wearing cheap ill fitting clothing for the masses.

Lol, okay. I wore normal stuff, J.Crew, etc. I was 113 lbs before pregnancy and I just didn't gain a lot of weight, and didn't really need maternity clothes aside from a few tops for work in the third trimester. I guess Megan and other younger generations are also all wearing "cheap" ill-fitting clothing. Get used to it; people are not wearing maternity clothes as much because norms are changing and people don't feel the need to cover up their bellies as much as in the past.

I bought a lot of off-the-rack stretchy Women's Plus size dresses from Ralph Lauren/Vince Camuto. Never stepped into a maternity clothing store.

So you got big everywhere? I don’t see how buying plus size clothing is any better than maternity clothing. Besides the fact if I purchased larger clothing instead of maternity, the clothing wouldn’t fit my legs, arms etc. Some of us just grow a big bump but remain small.

It worked for me. I got big in the chest/torso. Would buy 14-16-18 sized women's clothing. Cut in arm sleeves wasn't that different than smaller sizes, and of course the length of dresses/shirts didn't change much with the larger sizes. My point is that I felt I didn't need to go to a maternity line of clothing. I'm not saying it is better than going to a maternity clothing store, it was just how I shopped.

I thought the dress was cute but not seasonally appropriate. NP. I did not think she looked big, however. Some shots at certain angles gave that impression, but most did not.

The dress is from a "resort wear" line and made of taffeta.

PP commenters seem to think the dress is made of cotton poplin, which I thought, as well. Since it is made of taffeta, it is appropriate for winter I think. She might get very warm inside, thus the capped sleeves.

I’m with the poster who would’ve looked ridiculous in larger sizes. I would have looked like I was wearing a muumuu. I’m usually fairly small/petite. My belly while pregnant looks ridiculous, but most of the rest of me doesn’t grow that much. Maternity clothing is cut to accommodate that.

I thought I could just wear plus sized clothing during my second pregnancy (I did the first), but my body had other plans. I lost too much weight and was all bump.

Fake bump.

The photo of the dress changing the shape of the top of her bump was super weird. Also explains her “cradling” it constantly as her being afraid it was out of place, and the wearing of the super tight dress as a way to keep it in place. Also, she got super big, super fast, out of no where, and it seems very large for how far along she is.

Now, as to why she’s wearing a fake bump, I have no clue. I don’t particularly like her but I also don’t have anything against celebrities wearing fake bumps for whatever reasons they have.

I’m a size zero. 107 and 5’4. Even when I was early on in pregnancy and tried to buy larger sizes, it still didn’t look right. Just like this photo of MM doesn’t look right. Maternity clothing exists for a reason and you’re not cool for buying plus sizes. I’d rather die than have a size 14 hanging in my closet.

I'm a size 6, and I'd rather die than be such a cold bitch as you. Do you not see how nasty it is to type something like this on a public forum? Why would you do that?

Well, we are built very differently. I'm 5'8" and normally wear a size 10/12. So it wasn't such a big jump to have a size 14/16 Ralph Lauren dress in my closet. If you read my PP, I said it wasn't better than buying maternity clothing -- it was just easier to shop that way at my normal stores like Lord and Taylor and Nordstrom Rack. Sorry you'd rather die than wear a size 14, which I see would be a jump for you from a Size 0. You wouldn't wear a size 14.
