Husband M and I went to the driver licence office to renew our plates recently. I noticed this young lady in line with a huge baby bump, I couldn't help thinking she must be almost due! I was tempted to ask her due date, but decided to discretely snap this quick photo to show you. Maternity fashion has changed over the years. I remember these huge billowy fashions but now the pregnancy is proudly displayed. When I was pregnant 23 years ago, I remember an older man remarking on my brightly coloured,if billowy dress. He was thinking the maternity fashions had become now more cheerful!

The queues here are always so long that the kid would probably be able to celebrate it's first birthday in the office! Valerie
Is it compulsory to wear blue or grey to get your licence? :)
I remember ladies wearing smocks when I was young. I also hid my bump behind a billowing dress but I also wore dungarees. I threw it all out recently realising my girls wouldn't wear it. They'll be into tight n show too.
1st time visiting your blog...interesting remarks!

Maternity clothing certainly has changed. So many nicer choices.
Lol we were lucky that day and time, the lines are usually out the door!
Funny Anna, I didn't notice the colours! I like that, 'tight n show'.
Thanks for stopping by Bibiana!
Yes Martha.
my daughter is 5 weeks from giving birth and this looks like her!
yes, no more hiding the bump. When my eldest sister was pregnant women were stuck wearing high necked tops in pastel colours, like childrens' clothes... When I was pregnant, each time the fashion improved, but still quite billowy! I love that women can show the bump now.
I think my 2 baby bumps were bigger than that woman's!
Ah lines... She looks like she's almost up to the front of the line. I think whatever makes the pregnant woman the most comfortable is the way to go...
One of my sister-in-laws barely looked pregnant for many months.
I'm noticing the same thing about pregnancy fashions these days. And I NEVER ask a woman about pregnancies anymore. I asked once many decades ago and was embarrassed to learn she wasn't pregnant. Oops!
The snug, form-fitting maternity clothes are not what I care to see. I would really prefer a return to the smocks we wore decades ago that covered all the extra body weight. Of course, I don't like to see rolls of fat that too many tight fitting clothes are showing on so many bodies, pregnant or not.
Ha, well, I;ve learned to never ask when some one is due ...just in case!
She looks comfy. We don't have long lines here either. In, out and done. It's fantastic.
