My belly’s really ballooned in the last week or so, and I’m not due until mid-February! How does winter maternity wear work? What have your style-survival strategies been?

I found out I was pregnant on May 1 and since then I think I have worked out maybe three times. The first trimester I was just too tired and nauseated (and busy eating Cheetohs and bagels to combat said nausea) and then all summer I was too slammed with work and now, well, now I’m just lazy. I didn’t work out a lot with Alex but I did walk a lot more than I walk now (I lived in NYC, I had no choice!) and I just felt…better. So far I’ve gained the exact amount of weight that I gained with Alex at this point but the problem is my back. It hurts like hell.
