Pants.

Every woman hates buying pants. Will they zip? Will they button? Will I spill forth over the waistband... and if so, can I find a shirt long enough to hide it?
While blessed maternity pants are renowned for not having zippers or buttons or lions or tigers, they're still pants. Sure, I prefer them to normal jeans. Who DOESN'T want to not have to lie down to zip up? But maternity pants still have sizes inside them. And once you've reached that moment when your favorite jeans won't button, it's time for maternity jeans. Giant elastic bands made of the same material as Granny's unmentionables cover your stomach dern near up to your chest. That mess don't breathe. And most of the time, while constipation has caused your belly to swell past the point of Levi's, you're not quite big enough to hold up those precious pants. So when you bend over, people see that weird elastic band. I'm a tall girl, and maternity jeans never seem to come in tall sizes. I'm sure you shorties would complain that they don't come in petite sizes, as well. Petite pregnancy clothes... psh. Which begs the question - why on EARTH do maternity stores sell skinny jeans?! It's like selling Snickers at a Weight Watchers meeting. Cruel. Ooooh... Snickers....
