It's not a commercial website and I don't sell anything. Rather it has a bunch of information and resources for pregnant women of size. The very first thing I created for my site was a list of companies that carry maternity and nursing wear in plus sizes. I went my whole first pregnancy without ANY maternity clothes and once I found some (AFTER the pregnancy was over, alas), I wanted everyone to know how to find them. Plus-sized and tall is a difficult conundrum. Not a lot of choices out there...but there are a few. I do discuss those choices on my site. Look for the clothing FAQs on my site. Also has where to find nursing bras in larger sizes (band or cup or both) and other maternity-related items, like baby carriers and slings for women of size. And there's lots of information about being pregnant at larger sizes, to counter the misinformation and scare tactics that are out there on the 'net. Happy gestating!

I wear a size 20. I found a small handful of maternity pants that worked and just wore them all the time, washing very frequently. I had a pair of pants that I got from ebay that were from the Gap. They were REALLY long. I mean, they were dragging the floor for me, and I usually wear a size long with no real issues. And all of my "regular" sized maternity pants, from other stores, were too short once they had been washed once. Unfortunately the Gap doesn't offer much in maternity wear in the store - OF COURSE. But they have a pretty decent selection online last time I checked, and they do have sales. And there's always ebay. I’m kind of on the taller end of average -5’8″, maybe 5’9″. I wear a size 20.

They all complain about the maternity clothes being too small. I really think someone should start a maternity plus line. Lane Bryant has some stuff, but not enough...

They are big tubes of cotton lycra that bridge the gap between too-short top and bottom. They give nice support, don't bind, and look like a cute layered shirt.

When I was pregnant with Jack, not only was I way over size 14, I was also short -- and OLD! (Nearly 50) I don't wear jeans and t-shirts, and I couldn't bring myself to wear those maternity cloths that implied that somehow I was a three-year old again... I gave up and bought my usual work clothes in two sizes larger at Fashion bug. I looked like me and was happy.

Aren't all women's boobs supposed to get BIGGER during pregnancy? And don't we live in a boob fetishist's culture? Is this some weird kind of madonna/whore thing?
