| - I stopped in on Saturday clueless on what to do. I am only 12 weeks, so I didn't think I was ready for a maternity store, but my jeans are a little snug, and I didn't want to buy a new pair of regular jeans that would only last me a couple of months tops. My husband and I wandered in and were met by Lisa. She told me that anything I buy now should take me through my pregnancy, so I started grabbing jeans. She also measured me and gave me a bunch of bras to try on.
First of all, I did not know they made designer maternity jeans. The nicest pair of jeans I have is from J Crew, so I guess it took the insecurity of pregnancy bloat to push me over the edge. I also had no idea what a nursing bra was, but they had the same brand as the bras I get at Nordstrom, the only difference is they have clips and a little sling inside the cup. Otherwise, I would have never known the difference.
Lisa was a huge help throwing me in different sizes. It was also great being able to show her the fit of the jeans and bras to get her feedback on if I needed a different size. My husband and I walked in nervous and dreading the experience, but it turned out being a lot of fun. I ended up spending a small fortune on new jeans and bras, but it was such a relief to walk out of there knowing I am covered now that the weather is getting chilly. The jeans fit so well, and the bras are so awesome, that for the first time in 12 weeks I actually feel half way like a *woman* again rather than just some weird alien baby vessel.
