clothing to get big in while nurseing ??

[Momma Aimee]

Ok I have some maturnity clothing -- 2 freinds shared and i have stuff from last time.

Last time

1. I didn't get big -- not even big enough

2. I was not nurseing a demanding tot

soooooooooo

i need to think about some maturnity shirts that are nurseing shirts.

it really BUGGS me that this is not more avaibale.

I e-mailed Motherwear and asked -- they do NOT carry anything, though suggest a simply pull over style shirt -- wellllllllllllllllll that is NO support, and shirts like that tend to be low cut and thus easy for the tot to expose momma to the wrold nurseing or NOT JMHO but i can't wear them now -- as i don't think that is an option.

Motherhood at the mall -- again -- jsut suggested a bigger size of any nurseing shirt.....

I found this

but it jsut a tank. I bet i get some .. but some on -- ONE SHIRT / TANK in 5 colors is the extend of the pregant nurseing clothing being manfactured???

Any other suggestions?

I know -- two shirts, nureing tank under bigger shirt and so on --

but anything specifically for PREGANT ??

I am a sucker for the clothes and started wearig them at week 10 last time -- i wasn't big but i was soooooooooooooooo sick i wanted the reason to be obvious.

does this bug anyone else?????

I had this problem last time around. And to make it worse, I wear plus sizes which are harder to find. I really didnt' find much, I wore a lot of baggie tshirts, that I could nurse around and fit into. But I felt the same, if I'm gonna look bigger, I wanted cute obviously preggo shirts. I did find that some cuts of preggo tshirts I could use, but I had to test as I went. I got a bit lucky that by farther in when I was bigger, Connor stopped nursing during the day so much, so I didn't have to worry much.

at Motherhood I found a couple of shirts, in the nurseing section, that have empire waist and a doule lay top -- i got 2 different ones, in a larger size....

my fear is one -- with just a pull aside top to nurse DS will show off the good to the whole world, on intent or not.....

but these are double layed up top -- so i hope they cover better than the simple pull asides.

my other fear is by getting a bigger size than i need -- to make room for tummy and thus use the shirts as maturnity -- i will end up with sholders too big and it won;t fit, stay on, etc, espcially with a tot pulling on it and me all the time...........I got a Med, which isn't that big, I could wear a small, but a med is ok....and it is ok now, if i have to go into a large i am still a little worried.......

anyone else finding clothes for the belly and the nurseing tot??

Have you tried JCPenny online. The seem to have some cute tops that would be convenient for nursing too.

Aimee, do you wear nursing tops when not pg?? I never really took to wearing nursing tops, I never liked the styles available and always found I covered more in my regular clothes. If you don't normally wear nursing tops, maybe something like this UNDER your maternity tops could work AND cover the growing belly. They have suggestions for fit when pg.
