Please help me dress my postnatal belly!

Hi,
I am due to have my second baby any day and have got a big family wedding to go to in 4 weeks. Remembering the post-baby belly from last time! What on earth do I wear??! I was a size 12 pre-pregnancy. I plan to breast feed but feeding bras don't seem to allow for low cut necklines and I need easy access as well.
Sis-in-laws are both thin and gorgeous - not going to put too much pressure on myself as I know I'll be still be carrying loads of extra weight but I just want to feel normal and vaguely attractive. Please help me!

Can you go for something more structured and fitted to help hold everything in? Like a pencil skirt with nice top?

In terms of bras, you might try a soft strapless bra - not terribly supportive but easy to hoik down and gives you more option with necklines.

Depending on how big your baby belly is, this dress might hide it quite well? I guess you'd need to see how easy it would,d be to bf in.

I've just ordered some post natal support pants and vest from JoJo Maman Bebe. Might help with feeling a bit more confident?

Hi, I've just realised I've been speaking to you on two pregnancy threads, you have (had?) the same due date as me. Good luck with the new baby coming Smile

Thanks Alohamama. Coast dress is lovely, already have some Bravissimo feeding bras but they have quite thick straps. Guess I could wear a cardi/wrap? Hard to know how big the belly will be but I'm thinking I'll need a size 14 or maybe even 16 at that point.

Hi Beano! Yes, we were due date buddies! Congratulations on your new arrival. No sign of mine yet Hmm
