Thanks Ann, it's a girl this time! A whole new set of outfits to
research and make. I just hope she's not a tomboy and wants to wear
period dresses.

I own a lovely pink silk day dress about 1894 with lacing for the
entire length of the side front seams to let out for pregnancy,
probably wouldn't have worked for the entire pregnancy but would have
helped disguise the first few months after one has started to show.
It has a false jacket front

I am currently 6 1/2 months pregnant so I have been thinking about
what to wear for the various eras of events I have during this time.
1820s was really easy--my normal dress fit great without any
alteration. Also 1860s, just raised the waist (went the sacque and
petticoat route last pregnancy);
A friend passed this request on to me but I'm not good on the Edwardian era,
so I'm passing it on again.
