Ok. Not funny anymore.

There must be a law somewhere that pregnant women don't work or something. Or they don't hold down serious jobs. Because if you take a good look at all the clothes in the maternity shops, you'd find that they're either:

(a) clothes most appropriate for attending at the playground;
(b) clothes that you wear to sleep; or
(c) clothes that you would wear if you were soliciting for paid sex.

(c) was a weird one. But how else can we account for the profusion of low cut gaping clothes and high slits on short skirts. I could be wrong, but most guys don't dig pregnant chicks. I think they prefer their chicks non-pregnant, thank you very much. There's nothing more terrifying than an extremely pregnant woman prancing around in a short skirt. Stand behind her on an escalator going up, and you can almost see the baby crowning.

I am having some serious problems finding a plain, long sleeved white shirt that has buttons up to the collar. If I don't find one by Friday, I'm going to have to wear my husband's shirt to court.

    EGG at Vivocity? Thyme Maternity also has absolutely boring stuff, but not sure about plain white shirts. I just bought larger sized shirts from normal women's ranges like Marks and Spencer/Robinsons; lasted me till about 7 mths in the pregnancy.

    No experience in the maternity dress department (if you were talking lingerie, I could offer ideas)

    But I think you're better off with his white shirts. Looks smarter too.
