I usually purse carry as you all know. I have lots of little ones who I really don't want to be able to put a hand on a body carried firearm. After my scare this morning (See the thread "was he a bad guy or not") I am seriously thinking that I need to body carry.
Here's the hitch. I'm expecting another baby, and I don't know how Smart Carry or Thunderwear would fit on a pregnant belly. Have any of your wives used one?
My other option which I will probably do if all else fails is switch to fanny pack carry while at home. I have gotten that to fit around on a previous pregnancy.
Thanks for opinions!

Linda,
I think you'll find that a Smart Carry holster will fit you very nicely, and be comfortable at the same time. These holsters tend to fit well under the tummy.
The only problem I would foresee would be that it may be a bit hard to reach your firearm during the final weeks of your last trimester.

It's hard to reach anything that last trimester.... Slip on sandals are wonderful.
I suppose I could shift a Smart Carry sort of to the side if need be. It would certainly be less obvious than having a purse, diaper bag, and a backpack for all my homeschool stuff....
Thanks, guys!

What about a good shoulder holster? My wife couldn't move around too much in the third trimester, but she still could swing her arms to give me a whack
If you are carrying a smaller gun, it would just disappear, and be above the...ummm..bubble.
