Went consignment-store shopping this afternoon. Why do I look soooo much more pregnant in maternity clothes?

Oh. Gawd. Yes.

I swear, they do it on purpose. :)

Keep an eye out for the brand Japanese Weekend (JWO); they're incredibly comfy.

curiousangel figured out how to use the borrowed camera, so...

I don't know...but it's probably some same sort of thing like the reason that aquariumgirl looks much more pregnant after she eats.

There was a period of several weeks in which my clothes fit on an empty stomach but not right after I ate.

I'd actually suggest getting dress shirts that fit curiousangel and wear those in leiu of maternity clothes, if possible. They're not horribly foofy and he could have them when you're done with them :)

Heh. curiousangel and I are fairly close to the same height and weight. His dress shirts didn't button over my chest very well even before I got pregnant.

They are designed that way, and my theory is that it's so you are identifiably pregnant, instead of just possibly pudgy. It eliminates awkwardness for others.

Screw 'em.

Since almost all my overweight goes in the lower part of my belly, I've been saying "Just fat, not pregnant" since I was nineteen.

I think I'm going to go for identifieable pregnancy clothes.

Wow! I loved looking pregnant! And I love looking at pregnant people.

I have been feeling phantom kicks in my lower abdomen lately; I think it's because I want more babies quite badly.

Rivka, even I, with my newly flat tummy and distinctly male body, would look pregnant in maternity clothes. They're designed to say "I'm PREGNANT!!!" to the world.

Hmm. Just realized that it took me just about exactly nine months to get my tummy flat. Curious.
