Pregnancy is a fun time to me. I get special treatment, like cutting in line. I get sympathy for running late. I get ice cream in the middle of the night. I am totally milking it! ha!
My main problem right now is finding maternity clothes. I am carrying so much lower this time around that even maternity pants feel as if they are cutting off my circulation! My tops are not long enough. It is really frustrating!
I just found
Belly 9, who makes maternity shirts. Not just any shirts, these are cute, practical and witty!
Belly 9 was created by two friends, who were pregnant at the same time. They would often go shopping together, looking for great- fitting maternity clothes and come back empty handed. Ironically, they both became pregnant together a second time, and this time, they had shirts of their own to test out! Although both girls have a different body type, the style of
Belly 9 shirts fitted the both of them well. They have come up with a great fit that will get you thru your entire pregnancy and have some pretty cute sayings on them as well!
I had the opportunity to review a shirt myself. I picked the I love epidurals shirt- because, yes, I do. I also think the shirt is hilarious as well! The fit was wonderful! It was super long, but did not drown me. The width was perfect as well, while most tank tops like this are too narrow for my bust, this one was very generous, and fit perfectly. The print was great, and I got lots of compliments and laughs while wearing it! There is a stretch like feeling in the fabric, which is great, as I have some more growing to do!
There is a huge selection at Belly 9 - Here are some of my favorites-
Milf shirt-
Keeping the gender a secret? Tell everyone with the "not finding out" shirt-
There are also birth order shirts available- like this one-
Fertile Myrtle shirt- too funny-
Push it, push it real good. This cracks me up!
Belly 9 also carries maternity and post maternity panties as well. I have been having a time finding a great fit in those as well! It seems the creators know how to make something fit for everyone, so who knows?
-My Thoughts-
I love the fit- above all else- I have yet to find a great fit like this
The witty sayings are right up my alley- love em'.
These would make an awesome gift for any pregnant woman! (baby shower anyone?)
