Sexy Nursing Bras
I was out this morning getting my nails done – it was crazy out there today too. Anyway, while I was getting my nails done there was this older lady getting a pedicure. She would not stop talking – and she talked very loudly! One of the girls that works in the salon is pregnant – about 5 months, give or take. The pedicure lady (I’ll call her Crazy Lady) was asking this woman how come she didn’t have maternity clothes yet. That took some nerve considering the woman had on a real cute fitted pregnancy top. Crazy Lady went on to say that “women today don’t buy maternity clothes”. For some reason she thinks that a pregnant woman can wear normal fitted tops. My sister just had a baby in September and even though her tops were fitted they had to be maternity or she couldn’t fit into them. Crazy Lady couldn’t handle the fact that today women have cute clothes choices when pregnant and they aren’t forced to wear huge sacks anymore. Crazy Lady just didn’t get it. It is possible to be pregnant or nursing and have hip clothes. Today’s nursing bras allow women to breast-feed indiscreetly and comfortably. Fashion for pregnant and nursing women has come so far – even since I had my daughter 10 years ago. It is a much needed improvement, regardless of Crazy Lady’s opinion. I actually think the fitted tops look much better on pregnant women vs. the huge baggy shirts that make you look like a tent. My sister is still nursing and she has found some adorable outfits and undergarments to accommodate her ample chest. There is even lingerie available for pregnant mothers. I think this is so fantastic because I know it’s hard not to feel like a beached whale while pregnant (at least I did!).
