Are those “support” legwarmers?

chocoholic: hahahaha, funny but I actually had a pregnant aerobics instructor (not an 80′s one thou..) and I dont think she ever wore anything like this. it was more tank tops and shorts (guessing cause of the bathroom issue).
but you know for the same reason I’d never buy a playsuit. I might think they look cute and I like how other people wear them but I have a tiny bladder and thus it’s out of the question..

Maybe if I was a pregnant 80s aerobics instructor…

Yeah, my friend who is pregnant gets up to pee at least every 2 hours. The unitard is a terrible idea. But AA does have some jersey dresses and tunic tops that could be great maternity wear.

I’ve yet to see anything from American Apparel that looks good. Of course I’ve only seen their banner ads.

I’ve also had three pregnancies and will chime in with a “no way in hell.” Not only is it fugly but it’s completely impractical.

I am also pregnant right now, and I would not put one of those on if someone paid me. I prefer loose and flowy to having someone able to see my every bump and lump blaring through tight spandex.

I’m pregnant now and there’s no way I would wear this. Maybe they have other things like t-shirts that are fine, but a unitard is the last thing I’d put on.
I have to say though, this is one of the few AA models that doesn’t look like a crack whore!

Having been pregnant 3 times I can say absolutely NO. Just think about the best reason not to wear leotards in general (the need to go to the restroom suddenly becomes much more complicated and uncomfortable) and now multiply that by about 1000. Pregnancy =pressure on bladder= LOTS of trips to the restroom and LOTS of times getting dressed and undressed. No thank you.
Not hat I would EVER wear a spandex unitard to begin with.

What happens if the time for the baby’s arrival comes and you are wearing something like this? Like the woman in the picture, just by looking at her, it makes me feel kind of uneasy.
