    I agree. Pregnancy or the discussion of having children shouldn't be discussed. My husband and I tried for three years and have three babies in heaven. We eventually naturally conceived on our own unexpectedly; however it was so painful every time someone would mention that we should hurry to have children, or ask why we didn't have any yet. I felt inadequate, and it was absolutely soul crushing for me.

    • @JamieLC82
      @JamieLC82 4 місяці тому +5

      Agree!!!! People mean well but that’s a very private matter and can be a painful story. We miscarried our first child and I was only five weeks but I had someone who called themselves trying to cheer me and said oh it’s no big deal. You weren’t far along and you will get pregnant again. It made me so mad. I believe I have a child in Heaven that I will meet one day. We named that child Sam and my grandmother who never knew I miscarried was on her death bed and had dementia. She was talking out and looked right at my hubby and said Sam is ok. He lost it and then went to tell me. I was so stunned because she didn’t know that we had even got pregnant.

    A man in costco once asked me if I was pregnant. Since I was 6 months post-menopausal and had never been pregnant, and traumatized by it, I decided to try to make him almost as uncomfortable as he had made me: “no, just fat,” I said. “Didn’t your wife ever tell you to never ask a woman that question?” I didn’t stick around for his answer.

    What a lovely video. I feel all girly again. Now I will google "Vanity Fair", and see what I can come up with. In the 1970s my unmentionables were all Vanity Fair, from day wear to night wear. I wish I could walk into a mall, find the Vanity Fair store, and find that variety of style and color, all made in the USA. But, alas, those are bygone days. Thank you for a very feminine video.

    Nikki, I think that I have watched all of your videos, which are life-changing, and never once have you looked pregnant. I think that you always look beautiful, well put together, stylish, and captivating. But not pregnant. I think it may be because we wear dresses and that people are not used to seeing a figure cut in a dress. Thank you for mentioning this as I have had this happen in the past as I am short waisted with long legs which can make this look possible. However, I would not trade my physical traits for anything and like you have just learned to embrace it. Thank you for being beautiful you ❤

    A beautiful, loving initiative from you Nikki❤ Not all of us have had that motherly care and guidance as young ladies. It is both brave and selfless from you to set the example and encourage us to support each other and especially younger ladies. There are so many ladies that are just yearning to have someone trustworthy and loving mother-figure in their life. Internet can not be a substitute for a relationship based on love, respect, responsibility and care of the other ones wellbeing. Great encouragement, you do it in such a respectful, delicate and pure way, that it does not feel uncomfortable. Thank you Nikki! God bless you❤

    Love your ladylike outlook on these topics, it’s very encouraging and makes us think twice on how we hold conversations with each other and reminds us not to be nosey or ask questions that are none of our business. I learned a big lesson years ago when I was young and naive when I heard a rumour and asked the person in question’s friend about it and was quickly put in my place verbally, and rightly so, it made me check myself, and although it was embarrassing, I am grateful for the lesson. I have learned from it and continue to live my life mindful of how I speak to others regarding nosiness and conversations in general. Living as a lady is as internal as it is external ❤

    Beautifully done, Nikki! Thanks for sharing! I enjoy storing my “unmentionables” in a beautiful way, and I appreciate getting to see other ladies’ methods. The first time I saw brassieres stored that way was when I was newly married, helping an older lady move house. I took note! Thank you also for sharing about things not to mention to others - always helpful reminders. I’ve been assumed to be pregnant so many times that my husband and I just share secret amusement when it happens. We were recently walking down a steep sidewalk with steps, and a shop proprietor told me warmly, “You be careful on those stairs.” I thought she was just being kind until we passed and my husband nudged me and repeated her warning. I laughed out loud realizing she thought I was pregnant!

    Such a lovely inspiring video Nikki! I had the pregnancy question asked to me by a man at a conference for our business licensing. I was so humiliated and couldn’t help crying and being upset the rest of the event. It really ruined the whole thing. And my husband was so upset he went and had words with the man. He apologized and I know he meant nothing by it. Every since having my second child 21 years ago I have had a protruding stomach, no matter how thin I am. 🤷🏻‍♀️ in the man’s defense I was wearing a dress with no shape. That cured me of wanting any of that type of dresses in my wardrobe. To the consignment's shop they went immediately after getting home. Thank you for talking about this subject, it has helped me more than you know 🩷

    Hi Nikki,
    Thank you for sharing your wisdom on intimate wear and practices. I did not think that high waisted panties would make a difference earlier as they would come up higher than the waist of skirt or pants. But now that I usually wear dresses (Thanks to your advice), I will opt for granny panties.
    My relative had once asked me how many months along I was in pregnancy. That was when I had a slightly protruding belly after 2 kids. She did not stop when I told her I was not pregnant & began to give me advice on my belly. The most important thing here is that she had mommy belly herself.

      I was a nurse in a large hospital for 20+ years. They should have worded it a way that asked, not what religion you are, but instead, “ Are there any religious practices we should be aware of while under our care?” This covers, not wanting blood transfusions, being touched/examined by the opposite sex, dietary restrictions such as pork or non-Kosher items, etc. Our wish is to treat patients respectfully and note preferences accordingly. Asking openly gives you the opportunity to voice any restrictions when you may not have thought to let us know.

      Ivy City Co, April Cornell and select brands at Dillards, such as Vince Camuto, Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein can have nice styles. Once you can find a few brands and dress cuts that you like it is easier to start shopping second hand on eBay and Poshmark. I find the prices to be so expensive these days that the majority of my dresses are coming from these resale websites, although I try to only purchase new with tags so that my pieces last longer. I hope this helps! Don’t be afraid to go to a store and try on items even if you don’t end up purchasing, it has been helpful for me to feel and see different styles on the body to be able to discover my favorite!

    Pregnancy comments: I agree 100%
    I could tell someone I’m 9mo pregnant and it would be believable. Please don’t ask! And on that same note, do not ever tell or ask a woman if she is having twins. Especially not after she told you no. Unfortunately this has happened to me too many times...”are you sure you’re not having twins??” Maybe we should go back to having pregnancy be an unmentionable as well, ha. Sometimes women didn’t even go out in public after a certain point in their pregnancy. I will never understand why people think it’s appropriate to comment on a woman’s body in regards to pregnancy.

    Hi, I apologize if you have addressed this in other videos but what are your thoughts on wearing nylons during the summer months? I don’t sunbathe so without a tan I don’t feel as put together without nylons but they are very warm. Do you only wear them if you are out doing errands or going someplace special? Thank you.

Because some people can have weight fluctuations (do to hormonal issues some of it can acumulate in our bellys), pregnancys that have a little impact on our bodys, colitis (yep, i always had a little belly because of some gut issues)!!

    I had a cashier at the grocery store compliment me by saying that I was the most beautiful pregnant woman that she had ever seen. The problem was... I wasn’t pregnant. I was wearing a dress that can give off the illusion + I have adenomyosis + I’ve had 3 babies over 9lbs & I am 5’2 & very petite. I get very bloated when I am getting close to my cycle & I do look pregnant, so I can’t be angry. She gasped & just went on and on at how beautiful I was pregnant. I froze & was definitely humiliated, but I played along because I didn’t want it to be more awkward. She asked me when I was due (and my mind actually froze on the current month that we were in for a moment 😂) & I gave her a date 3 months from the date. It’s a store that I rarely visit & I have never been back to it. I cried all the way home.

    Love the high waisted lace band ones. Bonus if they're hicut to bend imo. It is one of the better cuts for hourglass or pear shapes despite the trends. That little lace detail makes a big difference if you have sensitive skin too. I favor them enough that I stick to skintone or a color for a season so I can match them with different brand bras.

      Had that happen to me a few times, too. My mother told me in my midfifties to be pleased with being asked that because it meant I was young looking! But...in my younger years, I asked a lady that, then felt like a fool afterwards and apologised. Then another time, there was a lady in the Urgent Care waiting room who was groaning and crying, her stomach was huge. I went to the reception desk and told them that the lady was about to give birth now and needed to be sent over to the hospital asap. The groaning woman looked up and said it was a hernia and she was not pregnant. Karma 2x over! Next time I am asked that (if it happens) I am going to say, "Anytime now" and pretend I am in labor (maybe).

      But true story, once when I actually was pregnant and near the end, a young clerk asked when I was due and I said anytime now. The look on her face 😅 I think she thought I was going to give birth right then and there and she was contemplating whether she should call for help!
