There’s not much during pregnancy that’s more fun than dressing up, putting on some makeup and playing glam. Just kidding. Everything sounds more fun than that when you’re pregnant.

Pregnancy is an amazing, but strange, time. Your body is growing, your mind and memory is starting to slip away (hiya, Mom Brain!), and you can’t fit into your damn clothes anymore, and yet everything you see in maternity clothing stores seems to be absurdly expensive or just not your style.

Since you’re only using them for a relatively short amount of time, maternity clothes aren’t something many people want to invest too much money in, or too much time into finding.

Whoever said beauty is pain… was an ass. These days, very few events can coax me out of stretchy fabric.
