zip me up
January 24, 2013So this is my pants story.
The time has come.
I can’t zip up my pants anymore.
*cries and wails and throws tantrum in the corner*
Look at me… so attractive these days. Sigh.
Wearing a long sleeved top from Berrybow and my dump-everything V bag from Fevrier Designs.
My bump is definitely growing healthily. People are asking me to get maternity jeans now but I just can’t bring myself to even try on a pair. It just looks so not sexy and will make me feel a bit like a kangaroo.
I asked my SIL if she got any maternity pants during the course of her pregnancy and she said no. She basically lived in leggings tucked in under her belly, maxi skirts and dresses. But of course, she never looked pregnant as her tummy was quite small and as much as I hope little baby will be kind to me, I already see myself growing a lot more than SIL did.
I, too, have been living in leggings and let me just tell you they are so used that some are even torn already. Leggings, long top, leggings, long top, leggings, zzzzzzz….. Thank you dear leggings for you have stopped me from going out bottoms-less, but dear God, I am so bored of leggings!!!!
I have a lot of nice tailored pants and some printed pants that I love wearing to make me feel dressier. Lately, as you might expect, they have not been touched and they look rather upset. I tried on a pair for a photoshoot recently and I was jumping around the studio trying to zip up my pants, even asking for help to zip while I hold my breath. We ended up leaving the pants unzipped throughout the shoot. If only people knew…
Anyway, only future will tell whether or not I will get maternity wear.
But for now, if you see me around KL in pants, please I beg you… do not pull down my pants.
They will come off.
Hi vivy, try to use belly belt. Dkt mothercare ada jual. Boleh pakai jeans smpi 9 months, gud luck!!
Aww sis. You look so comel like that…. :’)
vivy, if ur pants problem is only the girth area, then i suggest you to look in mothercare. they have this product that allows u to expand the waist of ur normal pants allowing u to usee it during pregnancy.
you can buy those pants adjuster so you can still wear your old pants.I wear my pre-pregnancy jeans and pants until I was 7mo pregnant.
Hey have you heard about the belly belt or belly band? You can try those with your normal pants! 🙂
hi Vivynnif I may suggest, try to get a belly belt, so you can wear all your favourite pants and can still belted it properly. EXCEPT you still need a longer blouse/tops to cover the belt 🙂 good luck! =)nnhttp://www.littlewhiz.com/pd-belly-belt-combo-kit.cfm#.UQG2J45vDdk
Hi vivy! Beli la the button extender! U still can wear your old pants n the button extender comes with fabric that will cover your under garment. Hehe
H&M carries some nice maternity bottoms.. Skinny jeans as well as printed pants but im not sure if the one in KL has the maternity line. Im from Singapore and H&M maternity wear is a life saver for the pregnant waddling elephant that I am!
I think the right name is belly belt. Try it yea!n
Try belly belt… U can find it at any maternity shop or buy it online. I got 1 during my pregnancy n i still can wear my jeans until delivery…
Vivy, try the maternity section at h&m. Their jeans are pretty chic. It’s skinny cut but of course with stretchable waist to accommodate your tummy 🙂
i heard pregnant ladies nowadays are using belly belt and still can wear their pre-pregnancy pants :)nn
Swollen feets is even more frustrating. Can’t even fit into a decent pair of shoe. I have been wearing the one and only pair of sandals throughout my whole 3rd trimester :'(
Vivy.. Get a maternity band! It’s so practical and available at maternity stores. I am 6 mo pregster right now, and I’ve been living in a maxi dress and a cropped cardi most of the time. Embrace your bump! 🙂
hv u try h&m maternity? they hv sexy skinny jeans. at least i found it sexier than flare mothercare jeans.
vivy, buy this lifesaver:nnhttp://www.littlewhiz.com/pd-belly-belt-combo-kit.cfm
vivy,berapa bulan dah? soooo bigg
vivy.. u look soo cute.. 🙂
Gently reminder to my fellow sisters; have u heard a group in FB advising us not to wear tight clothing in public? Go check it out, it’s worth a reading.
9 months has some decent non-kangaroo tippy tent maternity jeans that grow along with you. I wore my S size and adjusted the band as the bump and I grew along. They have a good range of maternity tights too, in colours other than just black. Hope this helps.nnWhen/if your feet swells (hope they won’t), it may be time to consider Fitflops, they come in bling and non-bling options. Pretty comfortable and stable.nnAll the best!
I wish u cd share whether its siti chanel or ahmad hermes hiding in ur cute tummy ( thats what u guys r naming him/her rightttt? *wink*), but my dear vivy, rest assured that you are one gorgeous mommy2be! :)n
your tummy is pretty big…?is it twins?
hahaha, vivy, high five. kita sama, my pants pun xleh nak zip and button. tapi i pakai jugak, tapi takut jugak kadang-kadang, takut terlurut. thank GOD, i baca komen, i pun kena beli belly belt
get a belly band vivy, it’s a huge lifesaver for me because like you, i cannot accept the fact that i cant fit into my fav jeans 😀 haha plus the belly band supports your back, it’ll be more comfy for you 🙂
H&M and dorothy perkins maternity wear, i swear, are the best… Borong byk giler masa kt uk dulu… Sangat best! Ooohh next pon ade jugak kadang2.. 🙂
hihi so funny la you, viviy 😛 i am using the maternity jeans now and even though it feels like a cute kangaroo once in a while, it is comfy as hellllll. and we can look that stylish even tho we’re in that kangaroo suit 😉 all the best with the maternity outfits hunt!
Hi Vivy! Ur bump, it’s cute. I felt that too while I was pregnant. Yes. I’ve just gave birth to my second prince on Jan 11. Guess what? I think in 2 weeks time, I’ll get back my pre-pregnancy body. Never worry too much bout the growing fat n belly. The extras will be gone while you breastfeed your baby. Now, go shopping! 😉
Try Mothersenvogue in Pavi. It’s a brand from S’pore. Great stylish maternity clothing line, that makes even Heidi Klum jealous. 🙂
