JleaD Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Well, right now I'm almost 8 weeks pregnant... so I'm not showing (at least not to anyone other than myself) . But, a month or two down the road I'm going to need a new leotard with some "baby in my belly" room! I've googled it and haven't had any luck. Has anyone been in this spot? I'd like to remain feeling like a ballerina into my last month, even if I do look silly. By that I mean tights and a traditional leotard. Please tell me this isn't a hopeless situation. I really don't want to go to ballet class in draw-string pants and a maternity gym shirt. Thanks for any ideas you have! Quote Link to comment
vicarious Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I found this swimsuit on the Motherhood website http://www.motherhood.com/Product.asp?View...rCategory_Id=18 I also discovered a company in Vermont, East Coast Leotard Co. they have a line called Mama Pavlova. I haven't found a website for them yet. A google finds many Mama Pavlova swimsuits. They are easily twice as much as the Motherhood one. Quote Link to comment
CDR Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Wouldn't just buying a bigger size work? They're pretty stretchy anyway and you could alter the straps to fit your height if that was a problem. I wore loads of clothes when I was pregnant that weren't actually maternity clothes, just stretchy and it worked pretty well! Quote Link to comment
ami1436 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 My best friend has a baby who is now about 18 months, and one of my teachers is 8 months pregnant. They both wore sizes bigger, which worked fine! Quote Link to comment
tangerinetwist Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I taught through two pregnancies, and although some women might be able to go up a size, I carried both babies straight out in front-I needed extra fabric in the front. I found anything with a tight waistband gave me Braxton Hicks contractions so I stopped wearing tights early on. I wore these unitards and also had a couple pairs of maternity bike shorts that I could wear with any maternity top. http://www.fitmaternity.com/Merchant2/merc...ategory_Code=u1 Quote Link to comment
JleaD Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Great ideas! Thank you everyone. I feel a lot better about making it work. It's my first and I just wasn't sure what could give me the room I might need. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment
