OK so i feeli like im going insane, i ask about them and people look at me like im crazy, i know they exist because ive seen them. I just cant find them myself... Ive looked online and cannot seem to find anything but maternity scrubs....any help????
I was just thinking the same thing the other day, where are they?????
ok just read this....... I wore BDUs, the uniform store had options to put in a front maternity panel. Basically they remove the button, the front pockets and replace with a big elastic piece of material. VERY attractive;) Then, I purchased a large polo (amr allows polos here) and left untucked. Or we also had the option of purchasing a button up shirt and again the uniform store tailored it to wear untucked and as a maternity shirt. again super attractive, but it did the job... I was in the field until I was 7 mos pregnant, and HUGE and those worked....
Well I just found out that I'm pregnant and about 7 weeks, I'm thinking about buying the bella band to see how that works just to see if I can still wear my regular uniform when I do start to show. We have to have shirts tucked in at all times and wear belts also. So I'm thinking that I might get the velco belts that i can adjust as I need, I'm also going to buy a pair of the best boots I can find because I plan on staying in the field as long as possible....I'm actually looking into a pair of Haix R2's if anyone has any opinions on them I would really appreciate it
Congratulations. When I was pregnant with my first I went to the uniform place and got a pair of BDU's with the adjustable waist strap on the sides and just bought a bigger size, then as I got bigger I just loosened the strap. As for the belt, I don't know about you, but I couldn't tolerate that when I was pregnant. Could you talk to your supervisor and see if while pregnant you could skip that. Also they let me wear a tshirt with the state patch on it and just left it untucked. People can tell you are pregnant and no one thinks oh you slob, it was more like oh congratulations. Good luck
Hey... well, I would definitely talk to hr, or a sup and see if you can leave shirts untucked. Because believe me you get to a point quickly where that just isn't an option. and a belt? forget it. Your pants would fall down! They will work with you believe me, they have to, or you would have a nice little lawsuit on your hands. At least out here in CA, our division was actually very accommodating as far as uniforms. I wore a collared shirt, stayed ironed and kept my boots shined and no one thought I was a slob!
