I bought a pair of maternity pants five months ago, when I was about 2 weeks pregnant but didn’t yet know it. They were on sale and were of good quality. I started to wear them when I was 3 months pregnant, when my old jeans started to cut off the circulation in my mid-section. The maternity pants were quite fitted with a low-rise belly band for comfort.
I really liked these pants.
I hadn’t worn them in about a month, as I have been rotating all of the borrowed maternity clothes I managed to aquire from friends, but I felt like wearing my old pants today.
I yanked them up and noticed that they felt noticeably tighter around the bottom of my stomach than they had a month ago.
What I am trying to say is that I had a severe case of muffin top.
And not just a little overflow on the sides.
We’re talking back fat, tummy chub and some serious love handles, all delightfully hanging over my too-tight elastic waist band.
I have heard the old wives’ tale that if you’re carrying a boy, your tummy sticks straight out in front of you, but if you’re carrying a girl, the girth kind of spreads out in all directions.
I believe that old wives’ tale.
But you know what? I could feel bad about my muffin top, but I don’t.
I was thinking about muffins. What is the best part of a muffin?
The muffin top!
So, I choose to be proud.
