Yeah, this is over the top[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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! [/quote]

Are you guys all older moms?  [b]Younger moms (including Markle's generation[/b]; 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.[/quote]

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.

[/quote]

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.[/quote]

[b]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.[/b]  [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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

[/quote]

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.

[/quote]

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.  [/quote]

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.  [/quote]

It's very sad to rather be dead than a size 14!  I thought 14 was considered the average size today.  And no, I'm not a 14.

No more size shaming and making other reader's feel bad, let's get back to the topic on hand!  I hope Meghan is having twins, one of each would be very cute.[/quote]
