Maternity Clothes

[Tamara Barclay]

Have any of you out there worn maternity outfits? I have a few times, and with the right padding, it was a wonderfull expierence!

[rachealgirl]

YES!!!!!!!!!! One Halloween I went as a pregnant version of my fem self to a g.g. friend’s Halloween party. I wore a maternity jumper and white button blouse (with padding of course). Everyone got a huge kick out of it! I, personally, felt so feminine. I was captivated by the idea of being in full blossom of “woman” hood. I would definitely do it again!!!!!
PS I’ll try to find my pics from the party.

[womanatheart]

Tammy,
You have my attention.
I have never thought about it... but .... it would be an experience.
What did you do? Where do you get the padding? How was your experience? Forgive me... but if people questioned my passing what would they do maternity?
I must say, it is a very feminine thought.
Love
Stephanie

I have worn maternity clothes and it was a wonderful feeling. I was sort of heavy at the time (allright fat) and the maternity clothes fit perfectly and were so comfortable. Then I lost weight and have not done it for awhile, but it was a wonderful experience.

[Tina Dixon]

No way!!!!!

[kittypw GG]

This is going too far!!! This one is only for the gg's. Be fathers, that is what you are!!!

[VeronicaMoonlit]

I remember reading a web page of a CD who did this as an experiment. She said that it increased her passability, but...she said the increased attention from comments "oh when is the baby due" etc was unnerving and felt weird and she never did it again.

Personally I wouldn't do it. And I don't think others should either. It's "crossing a line"

My wife has said innumerable times that she wished I could experience being pregnant. Of course, she didn't mean with padding. She wanted to me to experience the weight gain, back pain, digestive problems, etc. She said giving birth was the easy part!

Our daughter came home from the hospital around Halloween. Our good friend was having a costume party that we wanted to go to. I wanted to get dressed up so bad that I dressed in my wife's dress with a pillow. (This would actually be the first time that I dressed fully and left the home. I was and still am closeted). My friend saw my wife enter their home as a witch carrying our daughter as a pumpkin and then honestly wondered who the girl was that she came with. It also gave me the chance to experience, on a small scale compared to what women really go through, how hard it is to bend over or do things with a belly. We actually had them over for dinner recently and they brought the subject up. My wife said that I make a beautiful girl.

[Butterfly Bill]

I have had a few "maternity" dresses that I found fit me better than regular ones. They are more accommodating to a male who definitely does not have an hourglass figure.

[Helen MC]

Being plump I too find that a Maternity dress is very comfortable over a pair of panties to wear about the house.

Many years ago in the UK there was a series of adverts featuring a man in his 20s made up to look as if he was in the second trimester of pregnancy. There was also a device known as the "pregnancy belly" a strap on contraption for a man to wear which as supposed to emulate the physical effects of being heavily pregnant, the idea being to lead the man to empathise with his pregnant partner.

I did ask a female friend who is in the know and approves of my being a CD what it felt like to be pregnant when she was herself at 36 weeks and she said that she felt huge, ungainly, awkward, had to pee frequently and most of all was very constipated! Although a lot of "wanabe" females crave a female body I wonder how many would really want to have the following aspects of being a woman, menstruation, and its eventual end the menopause with all its attendant physical unpleasentness ,and pregnancy especially in the third trimester?

[linnea]

I have fantasized about it many times--about the appearance, the ungainliness, the pressure on internal organs, etc. I am fascinated with the idea and would try it. I would say to the comment that it's crossing a line, that of course it is. We're crossing lines all the time. I think that I would feel another level of femininity and probably empathy for real women who are or have been pregnant. I've thought about getting one of the "empathy belts" that simulate pregnancy, apparently with very realistic effects. My purpose would be to experience these physical feelings and to learn a bit more about my body and my being.

[Shannah]

This is going too far!!! This one is only for the gg's. Be fathers, that is what you are!!!


Why is it going to far? If a cder enjoys playing pregnant, so what. As long as it doesn't hurt anyone, what do you care? And no, I'm not a father.

[PennieS]

I tried on one of those Pregnant vests a few years back and was told I should try to wear it for several hours just to see how a mother would feel with the added weight and size. They even popped a maternity dress on over the top of it for laughs, everyone said they thought I looked to good to be in it, it was a rush and it really felt exciting to wear it even though, I only wore it for maybe a 1/2 hour. Somewhere I have a picture of that, I will have to try to find it to post.:o

[Tamara Croft]

You know, how about pass a few kidney stones to see what giving birth is like, or swallow a bowling ball..... jeez...... you can't bloody feel what it's like just because you 'wear' maternity clothes.... omg... :loser:

DanaJ said so ;)

[Megan72]

I have to go with the GG's on this one. while my belly sticks out far enough to look pregnant en fem, i think there are just some things that we need to lay off of. Pregnancy is a very special and emotional time for woman. If available for the father as well. i just can't think to step on GG's feelings that way, it is somewhat garish and selfish.:thumbsdn:

[ChristineRenee]

NancyBeen following this thread with great interest...particularly with the diversity of responses....and trying to ascertain in my own mind how I feel about this subject...being a genetic male, a CD, and TG. So...here goes...

The genetic male in me certainly sees the GG's point of view on this. I mean this really IS their territory after all. It IS a very special and emotional time for them. My feeling on this...if I were a GG who was pregnant or was already a mother, and came across a CD doing this...I'd be pissed and would no doubt feel that I..as a pregnant female...was being mocked here. I would definitely feel that the CD had "crossed a line" here. That's my take from this perspective.

As a CD/TG...in many eyes...certainly society's in general...we are always crossing a line by the very nature of what we do. We want to emulate women. We try to identify and empathize with them...and certainly in this instance...perhaps OVER-empathize with them. Exploration is second nature to this activity....and those who aren't CD's...whether you agree with the practice or not...are not likely to understand why the CD wants to explore these uncharted territories. The CD...in this regard...cares little about whether others would understand this desire or not really...they just know that it is something that they want to do. IMO here, I don't believe that they would see this as "mocking" women or pregnancy...just as something they see as a totally feminine experience that they would...in some way possible...like to emulate.

All that said now...whether or not it is done just for fashion or fit purposes...or to actually experience the "experience" in some way...doesn't really matter. Hey..whatever floats your boat...you know? Not something I personally feel the need or desire to do myself...but I certainly would be the last to condemn anyone here who does it.

One last thing I would like to say though in closing. I AM a genetic male with male brain wiring, yet I do have very strong feminine feelings and emotions inside. While I KNOW that I am not a GG or a TS, I do believe that I am somewhat dual gendered...TG...if you will...and while I'm not generally fond of labels, I find that they do help with explaining how you feel that you are in this regard. I have been CD/TG since the age of 12...I'm 54 now. I know I'm never gonna be a GG...not in this life anyway. I'm never going to know what a period feels like, PMS, the cramps and all that's associated with it. I'm not going to ever know what it is like to give birth either. Oh I have asked women what it feels like. My aunt gave me two descriptions that I have never forgotten either: 1. Think of it as passing a watermelon...and 2. Take your lower lip and pull it up over your head! I'll leave that to the GG's here who have given birth to comment on the accuracy of the pain level associated with those two descriptions! Bottom line for all of us who aspire, who dream, who long to be women...only THEY know what it's really like...both the positives AND the negatives...much like we as CD's, TG's, and TS's only know what THAT is really like. THAT'S the reality we all live...everything else is only make-believe.

My very long 0.02here!

[HaleyPink2000]

I've been told that some of these tops with a little lace added make very nice baby dolls to go with frilly panties to romp around home.

Never done it but might be a thing to look at if you sew clothing.

Haley:)

[HaleyPink2000]

What about Drag Queens? They dress that way all the time, to push fun at women, HUH? I would not think it's done to cause anyone harm! HUH? Just as a form of entertainment, maybe HUH? I think people make to much of some things.

Good Thred.

Haley:)

[Helen MC]

I have no wish to change sex far less to suffer the pains of childbirth and am quite happy to be a male who enjoys both the comfort and sexual thrill of wearing women's clothing in private. However, I feel that to speak of "crossing lines" is a bit judgemental and out of place on this Website.

The moment any of us tries on a pair of panties or a skirt or bra, stockings, tights (pantyhose) etc , enjoys it and continues doing so- we cross a line. [I discount the boy or man who tries on female clothing once out of curiosity and doesn't do so again or he who does so for a dare, a stag night, fancy dress, halloween, Rocky Horror Show etc but would never think of dong so on ordinary occasions.]

By wearing female clothes, whether only panties under our male trousers or by going out completely en femme and anything in between we have transgressed a barrer imposed by the society in which we live and which in Judeo-Christian Culture goes back to the Old Testament, we have crossed the line, and by those principles are considered to be different and alas in some cases still suffer at the hands of the bigotted as a result.

Personally, I have no problems with "crossing the line", some others have guilty feelings. I consider this line to be an artifical and arbitray one, and one which is in some circumstances waived by the same Society when it suits , e.g Scots Soldiers in kilts, the right of males in some ethnic groups to wear garments which in other circumstances would be considered as long dresses or skirts, the cassocks, albs etc worn buy some Clergy, the silken hose and gowns worn by (British) Judges.

In effect a CD or TV , having recognised and accepted themselves as such, then sets their own limits and as far as their personal home and work situation will safely permit, will act as they wish. To my mind wearing a Maternity Gown and even going to the extent of an empathy belt etc to simulate the outward appearance of being pregnant, is no different from wearing a padded bra or better still breast forms etc and dressing as a schoolgirl, or an airline stewardess, or a nurse, a nun or some other female role model or icon.

Where things are to me different is in the case of the Transgendered male who wishes to be surgically re-assigned as a woman. Modern surgery can work wonders and certainly the images silicone enhanced breasts and surgically created vaginas that I have seen on TG websites on the Internet are to external appearances as good as those of a biological woman. However as yet they are not able to perform transplants of the ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterus and I doubt that this will ever be attempted so for someone born as a biological male I fear that to be surgically altered and then be able to ovulate, conceive, carry and subsequently birth a child is likely to be an impossible dream for the forseeable future.

Good Thred.

Haley:)Yes people do Haley. With respect to drag queens...they do go over the top. I don't think that most GG's would equate a drag queen with a person trying to emulate them anyway. I certainly don't have any problem with them myself...they are who they are. I don't think that they are, or should be, the standard-bearer for our community...however the stereotype...because of their visibility and outrageousness...does exist within various circles of society. And yes...it IS a form of entertainment. I would be interested to read more opinions from our GG members here on this entire subject matter.

Good discussion thread indeed!;)

[Jenny Warren]

As a male with (I am told, even by those who dont know I crossdress) a very strong feminine side I would like to point out two things here.

1.
If a man dresses as and takes on the persona of a woman, assuming that they make an effort to look realistic rather than a parody, that will mostly be viewed by women as a compliment.

2.
If a man dresses as a pregnant woman, the majority of women who have actually been pregnant will feel he is taking the p*ss.

Imagine this, you go out shopping dressed as a pregnant woman, (you are LESS likely to pass) and you are stood in the checkout queue next to a lady who recently (in the last year, say) lost a baby.

HOW DO YOU THINK SHE'S GOING TO FEEL?
(God help you if her husband is with her)

Crossdressers want acceptance, so they shouldn't do unacceptable things.

Finally, the days when pregnant women get a seat on the bus are long gone.

Jenny

[Tamara Barclay]

I didn't mean to open up a can of worms....but....

As far as crossing a line.....my god.....we are men who who wear dresses!!!
If you are wearing breast forms you have crossed the same line, as breasts are for feeding babies

[Jenny Warren]

I didn't mean to open up a can of worms

Don't worry, a friendly discussion with opposing points of view is good.


As far as crossing a line.....my god.....we are men who who wear dresses!!!

That's a fair point, I never thought of that.

Should we all be teaming up with 'adult babies'? Rusks anyone? :cheeky:

Jenny

[Julia Cross]

I have to say, it just feels wrong to me. Crossdressing is one thing, wearing a bra and forms, still makes sense if you want to pass as a woman as they have breasts. But going out pretending to be pregnant, I feel that crosses the line. This is one of the most special events in a woman's life, I don't suppose for a minute to appreciate how important and I just don't see how pretending to be pregnant is complimenting women or flattering them. As well, I doubt highly a man dressed like a woman pretending to be pregnant will get much positive attention. I also feel it trul is an insult to women to trivialize pregnancy, looking pregnant is nothing like being pregnant, all the emotional and physical changes that come with being pregnant. Please remember, this is my view and I am in no position to qualify it, just a view point.

Julia

[Tamara Croft]

The whole point really is this... you can NEVER feel what it's like to carry a baby. You shouldn't be emulating this, it is taking the piss. It is the one thing only a woman can do, I feel that it is shameful for a man to try and pass themselves off as a pregnant female.

If you want to feel what it's really like, strap a bowling ball to your stomach for nine months, punch yourself in the stomach, get someone to kick you in the back daily and last of all, make yourself sick every morning. This is a special thing between mother and baby :(

And for HaleyPink, please don't compare expectant mothers to drag queens, that really is bloody insulting. And I sure as hell hope that those that do it aren't doing it to 'push fun at woman' as you so stated!!!

[Deborah]

I'd like to feel what it's like to be pregnant. Just part of who i am i guess. I have 3 kids already so i don't know if i want any more anyway lol. As for emulating it i don't see any point to it. Just a tease.

Drag Queen lol....I see what you mean Tamara. :D

I guess that I don't understand your point of view. I'm not saying you're wrong, I just don't get it. A male crossdresser is never going to know what it feels like to really be a woman so, why is it ok for them to try and emulate a woman but, not a pregnant woman? It would be like telling a female cder that it's ok to wear a strap on as long as it's not the kind that ejaculates because, that's going too far. If you want to know what it feels like to have testicles, try getting punched in the stomach so you can feel what it's like when you accidentally bang them into something.

[Julia Cross]

Shannah,

Your point is well made, however I just don't think it is the same. Pregnancy is something sacred, and it emulating a pregnant woman just seems like crossing the line. Sure you have the look, but that's all, none of the emotions or physical hardships that go along with it. I don't get why one would feel this is necessary to emulate.

Julia

[Tamara Croft]

If you want to know what it feels like to have testicles, try getting punched in the stomach so you can feel what it's like when you accidentally bang them into something.This thread has bugger all to do with testicles :thumbsdn:

Obviously you don't get it, you can never understand, because you are a man. Emulating a woman is a bit different to emulating a pregnant woman. It is sacred, it is a life growing inside you, each movement different. You can't understand laying there each night wondering if this little person growing inside is alive and healthy. Nine months of struggling with the pain, the sickness, miscarriage, still birth...... understand now? understand how seeing a guy emulating a pregnant women is just out of line? Maybe I should just kick you in your testicles to show you how much this kind of crap hurts a woman!

[Shannah]

Shannah,

Well, neither do I but, I don't come to this site to judge others or to try to say where lines should be drawn.

A little "teste" are we.:D OK, maybe that wasn't the best analogy. I know I don't get it, I stated that in my first sentence and as you said, I will never get it because, I'm a man. So why the hostility? It's not my fault I have balls. I might not understand but, that doesn't mean I'm not an unsympathetic person. Just trying to understand your POV.

[Tina Dixon]

One strange thread here:eek:

[Megan72]

This thread is getting way out of control. We all need to agree that until medical technology gets to the point where a man can become impregnated, which by the way i am not in favor of, and which is a discussion for an entirly different thread; that we as men acting like woman will never understand the full extent of what it is to be a woman.

Behaviors are easy to emulate. So are physical descriptors such as breasts and the physiche of a pregnant woman. We however are not able to take on the role of that which we try and depict. Tamara is right. This has absolutly nothing to do with getting "racked", but everything to do with emotions. I see little in this thread that is empathic or sympathetic. All i see is naive selfishness. Men so involved in themselves that they would take away the only thing that GG's have to themselves.

I also must again point out that child birth and pregnancy hold special tyes to not just the mother but to the father. That is why children are best raised by both. As men, which face it we are, we should realize that our children will need a mother and father to be best equiped with life. We as men can feel a special bond with not only the child but our children's mother through [her pregnancy, we should cherish this, not degrade the meaning by wishing we could be the other half of the equasion.

As for Drag Queens, if they are doing what has been proported to be done than i have no use for them.

That's the beauty of it, we don't all have to agree. Every one's entitled to their own opinion and we should be able to have mature discussions about issues without people getting all pissed off.

[Tamara Croft]

How can you compare having balls to childbirth? That's just :lame:

I'm done with this thread :(

[Helen MC]

Oh dear we all seem to be having a "Hissy Fit!" Calm down dear, it's only a Forum!

Let's cut away the cackle. Even a born man who has had full re-assignment surgery and is taking female hormones is not able to completely copy a born woman in certain aspects. Correct me if I am wrong but they will not be able to Lactate, unless a large dose of Prolactin will achieve this and they do not have the requisite organs to Ovulate and become Pregnant . They can't Menstruate either. That's it folks.

I cannot begin to relate to the emotional side of Pregnancy and Motherhood and I have never fathered any children and never will. I certainly have never fancied the idea myself!

[Anita Mae GG]

Why is it going to far? If a cder enjoys playing pregnant, so what. As long as it doesn't hurt anyone, what do you care? And no, I'm not a father.

It is going too far because that is a touchy subject.....especially for those members (GG's) who cannot have children, have lost babies or are having trouble conceiving........it is mocking pregnancy and I feel it is not right.

Even if you PLAYED the part, it isn't going to EVER get you the feeling of being pregnant....at all ....ever!!!!

I just think this is way too touchy of a subject.....

My opinion.....

Maybe show some compassion and consideration for that aspect of a GG's life, afterall we try our best to accommodate you gurls ......

Sorry if I sound bitchy but that is not even a touchable subject as far as I am concerned.....

[Wendy me]

some lines are better left uncrossed...nuff said....

[Deborah_UK]

I haven't read the whole thread - when I saw the thread header i assumed (wrongly)it seems that some would wear maternity wear cos they are the only clothes that would fit!

We read so much on here about how we want GGs to understand CDers and to accept us - so why can't that be reciprocated? both Tamara and Tammy are suggesting it its several steps too far, and in my opinion I agree with them.

To "pretend" to be be pregnant is nonsense - I'm not a Cder, I'm TS (non -op at this stage) - but to my mind the thought of parodying a female is not on for a cd'er or any on the scale, and make no mistake that's what it is a parody.

So please, respect our GGs - those that accept and understand are few and far between - listen to their concerns please, don't be so selfish!

[womanatheart]

Dear Ladies,
I certainly don't mean to hi-jack this thread but wanted to add and compliment everyone who posted here.
It is a joy to have a place where I/we can express our views, thoughts (some fully baked, some 1/2 baked - mostly mine), emotions and inner feelings and not get our face slammed in a door. If I wanted that, I just have to step out side into the world that has no understanding of my cding. Really, for me, there is no other arena or place for me to really talk as Stephanie to other girls but here at cds.com and with each one of you.
I sensed an appreciation/respect for differing views on this 'touchy" subject which I valued and appreciated from each one who contributed. I recently heard a quote: " It is the weak that is cruel. Only gentleness can be expected of the strong". Thank you all. :angel:
Sincerely and love,
Stephanie

I thought the thread was about better fitting clothes too..WRONG I guess!!!!

Thanks for your post, you are right especially about Us accepting you etc.....
nice to hear !

[GypsyKaren]

I just got this to say to any tranny who wants to "feel the pregnant experience", or whatever you want to call it....GET A GRIP! IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN! GET OVER IT! There, I feel so much better now.

You know, we're talking childbirth here, it's not something you play dress up with, it's not a game that you can try out, so let's just leave it be what it is, and that's a part of a woman's life. Thank you so much.

Karen

[Tamara Barclay]

I repect your opinons..thanks for sharing...

but

a) This thread had nothing to do with going out in public.
b) It had nothing to do with wanting to be pregnant.
And the single greatest thing I have had happen in my life was the birth of my children! And when my wife lost a baby 2 years ago, I was dying inside. And my occasinally wearing maternity clothes has NOTHING to do with that!
What about wedding dresses? Some women feel a man wearing a wedding dress is crossing a huge line, as that is a very important moment in a womans life.
What lines do we NOT cross? What about those of you who have worn a party dress or a diaper? Personally not my cup of tea, but I won't condem you.

[LaceLuvr's GG]

I have sat here and read every post on this thread thus far and I think that everything has gotten out of control. My opinion of the start of the thread was "looking" like a pregnant woman. As a GG, and a mother, I personally don't see anything wrong with CDers wearing maternity clothes.

I personally have gained quite a bit of weight since my last child, and still wear my maternity clothes. I don't wear them because they make me look pregnant, I wear them because they're better fitting and comfortable. I can see the point wear maternity clothes may be better fitting for men with larger hips or stomachs.

Now, when a CDer makes the comment about "wearing" maternity items to help them feel pregnant - that's the funniest thing I've ever heard. Not any amount of maternity items are going to help you "feel" pregnant.

I know that I'm really going to tick some GG's off with my next point - but please read it all before getting upset:

If a TS/CDer who would give ANYTHING to experience the FULL affects of being a woman ie PMS and pregancy - I have to sympathize on this subject just a bit. Pregnancy is a "woman only" subject. I believe that there are plenty of TS that would give their right arm and leg to go through the experiences ALL OF THEM. What do men have that women will never be able to have? Really, nothing - not special and as important as bearing a child.

I think that if a CDer or TS wants to dress as a pregnant woman in the privacy of their own home, reaching for the only thread that can do anything to put them in our shoes - OK. Who does it hurt? No one. For those that feel the desire to dress as a pregnant woman in public - I would be a little careful being that there are so many women out there that would take such offense. But I don't see any reason why you couldn't dress that way at home.

Although it's no where close to wearing a wedding dress - I saw a good point in that thread. A lot of women believe that that is a "women's only" subject also, but us being the great GG's that we are don't seem to have a problem with that.

Ok - my first post in a long time - probably my last for a while because of the crap this is going to cause, but I wanted to put my 2 cents in.

[Julie York]

Ooooh interesting.

It's ok to emulate a woman.
But only some aspects?



It's ok to want to be a woman?
But only some aspects.


You either get it or you don't.

And a lot of 'understanding' GGs obviously don't get it at all.

What an eye opener.

Sad too.

[SandraInHose]

And now...back to the original question...

After my wife bore our children, she packed up her maternity clothes for Goodwill. One dress never quite made the journey. There was this one piece dress that looked like a skirt & jacket. I loved when she wore it, and although the hem was below the knee on her, I made sure I slid it up well above the knee on me.

Fortunately or UNfortunately, (depending on how you look at it), the dress fit me perfectly. (Yes, that means I have a gut). :sad:

Me wearing that dress was simply because it would fit me. 'Acting' pregnant NEVER crossed my mind at all.

But that was the first dress I ever wore that I could still breathe while wearing it! ;)

[Tina Dixon]

OK this thread has gone to far, even the add on top is advertising PJ's for the pregnant woman:eek:

[GypsyKaren]

All right, I've had it! Call it abuse of power or whatever you want, I'm sick of this thread, I'm tired of watching it, so I'm closing it! So there!
