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.

Why is buying plus size clothing better than buying maternity clothing? I see no difference unless you plan on remaining plus size post maternity.

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?

Thanks, PP, for your support! Who knew that my seemingly mindless comments about not shopping at a maternity store would bring out such comments. I was just chiming in with other posters who said that they didn't shop at maternity clothing stores but wore normal clothing throughout their pregnancy.

Her response was to your comment that you would rather die than have a size 14 hanging in your closet.

Look guys, I have size 16s in my closet and I don’t begrudge PP her comment. I don’t particularly like the idea of a size 22 in my closet myself.

+1. Yes, that's why I boldfaced your (hideous) comment about the fact that you'd rather die than have a size 14 hanging in your closet. And I re-emphasize that you are a cold bitch, and I "would rather die" than be the kind of person who somehow thinks it is OK to type something like that on a public forum. And I ask again, why would you do that? Don't you stop to think about the fact that maybe there are people who ARE a size 14, and feeling bad about themselves already, and then think about how they will feel reading your disgusting comment? Really, what is the point of typing something like that and putting it out there? Don't you have any family members or friends who struggle with their weight?

This is getting confusing....I was the poster who wore 14/16/18 while pregnant. I was not being sarcastic in my thanks for the PPP who called out the OTHER poster (Size 0) who said she would rather die than wear a 14.


Thanks to that poster for her support. And I really don't worry about my weight.

I think the holidays bring out the negative feelings and the size 14 poster is trying to make people feel as angry and miserable as she feels inside; happy people don’t post toxic stuff like that. Don’t absorb it - let her keep it for her own.

Meghan Markle needs to call her father for Christmas. Forgiveness is the greatest gift she can give to him, herself and her future children. If she wants to set an example for her generation, this is a good place to start.

The OP is insane. I just had my 3rd. Normally 115-120. Only gained 25 lbs total... and I looked bigger than that heading into the third tri. She has only gained in the stomach and boobs. Her stomach is normally so flat that the contrast is more. That’s it.

Nope. I truly would just be very unhappy if I wore a size 14. You’re kidding yourself if you think women want to wear plus size clothing.

Whether women want to be a size 14 is beside the point. If you don’t get that, there’s no use debating you.

We get it, PP. You’d be very unhappy as a size 14. But it’s unfortunate that you have so little awareness of how your comments may hurt others. You’re basically coming into a thread about Meghan Markle and announcing you’d be miserable if you were as heavy as some of the people reading the thread— many of whom are unhappy at that size, feeling bad about themselves, and working hard to lose weight.

But hey— rock on with your oversharing of your personal feelings regarding weight. Hope you’re not this obtuse in real life. If so, you’ve surely alienated others. Maybe working on that could be your New Years resolution.

I wear a size larger than 14 and am perfectly happy with my life because my happiness is not tied to my body size. As long as clothes are cute, comfortable, and look good on me, I don’t care about the number.

And I couldn’t wait to get into maternity clothes! I think I held off until I was 4 or 5 months and then once I went shopping I wondered what I had waited for!

You already are miserable and unhappy. Don't think the size 14 would matter much. Poor thing.

Nah. I was responding to the PP who acted like she is so much better than others because she wears plus size clothing instead of maternity clothing.

What are you talking about? No one posted that.
