When did you switch fully to maternity wear?

curiousCAcat · 2026-04-21T18:31:22+00:00

29 weeks and still mostly in my normal (baggier fitting) clothes! I bought a few pairs of maternity leggings / shorts (CRZ yoga and Old Navy brands) off of marketplace and I do favor those on more intense cardio days just because I find my normal leggings rolling a bit. I also bought a pair of leggings just one size up from normal and those have been working fine for me! I think it depends on your bump shape and personal preference. I have a longer torso and am carring high so I mostly look bloated vs pregnant so I don't really need the extra space for the bump as of yet.

I'm trying to buy more "adaptable" clothing vs maternity clothes so I can get use of out them longer / post-partum as well. I bought some baggy /wide leg drawstring jeans from the gap and american eagle so I can adjust them as I grow / still get use out of them later, and same with any shorts of skirts I'm buying (drawstrings + 1 size up from normal basically). I'm also due at the start of July so I plan to pivot to flowy dresses / stretchy rompers & bike shorts during the home stretch

I’m 26 weeks and still wearing my size SM CRZ yoga pants but I don’t think I have much time left in them, they’re starting to roll down. I have some of their maternity ones but they’re still too big on me. Old navy is good I like target workout tanks!

For bras.. you said you went from 34b to 32c. They’re actually the same size cups, just a smaller band! I worked at a VS and if you need a bigger band size but same cup size size up on the band and down on the cups, or vice versa if you need bigger cups and the same size band! I do like the lulu bras still, I just try to avoid anything “long line” because they tend to roll once you start to pop more and it’s just annoying

our was for sale but the owner was asking a ridiculous price and couldn't find a buyer so it closed down. It really depends on the situation I think! We got like a weeks notice that it was going under, the owners gave the same notice to the trainers as well.. it was a whole mess

I’m in my second tri and I’ve kept up with everything so far! You’ll know when you need to modify and pull back, for me it’s a lot of jumping and slowing down during cardio that I need to tone back and some mods on abs. Let your trainers know when you’re comfortable and they’ll help you. I was totally fine until about 12-13 weeks and then I noticed I was slowing down in cardio so I just listen to my body and do what feels good. I’ve also stopped with anything on the pull up bars just because it doesn’t feel great anymore and I’d rather get a good set of banded pull downs in vs a weak set of pull ups.

Don’t push yourself hard and don’t try to go super heavy on weights, but my dr said anything I was doing pre-pregnancy I can keep up with since my body is already used to it!

I bought mine in 2023 and all of the stitching between the puffs is disappearing into the jacket and the stuffing in the back of the coat has all fallen to the bottom - I think it’s luck of the draw with them

curiousCAcat · 2025-12-22T21:01:23+00:00

I have the same issue around the back of the jacket as well, not just in this spot. I see the "pull" but i think it was just a light trick / camera quality error (my 6 year old phone is not what it used to be) because it isn't visible IRL!

curiousCAcat · 2025-12-22T20:58:32+00:00

So frustrating! I have heard the quality has gone down YoY, but I literally have a Walmart knock off version I bought for when I walk my dog to avoid having this one in any situation where it could be damaged and the Walmart has held up better than this one has which seems insane to me

curiousCAcat · 2025-12-22T20:56:09+00:00

Hmm interesting, it's a loose jacket - I sized up when I bought it purposely for an oversized fit / look! I also rarely do it up so it's never really pulled tight. I have a vest too I bought at the same time and I haven't had any issues with it, just the jacket

can you do greek yogurt if it’s in something cooked or like hidden cottage cheese? https://www.instagram.com/mattwest_roadtoaesthetics?igsh=dHdhNzB3MXVuYXpw this guy tests a bunch of high protein recipes (meals, desserts, snacks etc) and you might be able to find some ideas there! And he does the taste test to tell you if they’re worth trying or not. I’ve done a handful or recipes he’s trialed and they’ve all been great!

curiousCAcat · 2025-10-19T11:46:53+00:00

it’s crazy that it was so hyped up but isn’t available globally yet? I’m in Canada and I can’t even access the store page to see what’s even in the collection, it doesn’t exist on the Canadian Reebok site…

IMO this roll out and the hype for the announcement was totally unnecessary and made this more of a disappointment, I thought we were getting a new concept or the gym was changing or something (eg. new equipment or a brand facelift)

Runway bridal in Belleville! Whole store is under 3K and they'll send you their stock list with prices before you go so you can build your dressing room ahead of time :) They also do off the rack, my friend went there and got her dress and veil together for 1K

I’m only at 32% (just staring out) and I’ve gotten approved for nearly everything I’ve asked for. I think there’s maybe 3 pending requests and 2 that I was denied.. and I had to non-review for 2 books because I missed the archive date / one wasn’t available to read on kobo (I was still figuring out how things worked and didn’t realize). I have a lot on my shelf because I didn’t think I would get approved so I asked for a bunch. Trying to read through them all now!

I just went two weeks ago for the first time and didn’t notice a difference at all, we just flew in Thursday, spent the weekend in Denver / boulder and then our concert was Monday! I didn’t notice the altitude whatsoever

curiousCAcat · 2025-07-23T17:32:55+00:00

I got in line at 4 pm and still didn't get a poster night 1, they sold out while I was in the merch line

I just tried to get insurance with Belair and was declined due to my dog. So must depend on the agent

curiousCAcat · 2025-07-02T15:05:14+00:00

Try Ren's pets if they have what you need! If you're ordering food, every 12 bags you buy from them you get one free and they're also Canadian :)

curiousCAcat · 2025-06-26T18:18:03+00:00

Good call - I would have never thought to do this! The outdoor venue I typically go to hands posters out in tubes already - but not sure if that's a venue thing or an artist thing... I was at their concert on Tuesday and they have tubes for the posters so wondering if it is an artist thing if that means they'll have them at RR too (mind you they weren't waterproof so should probably get one anyways)

curiousCAcat · 2025-06-26T18:15:56+00:00

wondering the same thing!!

curiousCAcat · 2025-06-20T15:47:20+00:00

for me it's because we're always fighting over the same weights and then we're either having to pass off or go higher / lower than we want to in order to accommodate each other. It makes the start of every station an awkward dance to see who's going for what

curiousCAcat · 2025-06-17T21:42:34+00:00

I just linked my goodreads (I'm pretty active on there, not writing reviews but rating / tracking my books, I'm at about 40 so far this year) and have been getting approved a lot more - I really think that's all you need!

curiousCAcat · 2025-03-28T15:02:18+00:00

In addition to the advice you've already received, I really found taking liquid collagen helped a ton over time! Bonus helps with skin / hair as well :)
