I have a multi-week arbitration hearing scheduled for when I’m 9 months pregnant. Does anyone have suggestions for appropriate maternity apparel? Thanks!

I would be more worried about the baby making an appearance than anything LOL a multi-week hearing at 9 months pregnant??? That would be a hard no from me lol although I’m in transactional so I have no clue what turning something like that down looks like. I wasn’t even staffed on deals starting like 4 weeks out from my due date.

Is it in person or via zoom?

To answer your question, Seraphine and Hatch both have good maternity business wear (I like Hatch more but they don’t always have a suit), but I really hope you don’t need it because I 100% agree with the As 1 — I ended up on disability 4 weeks before my due date and could not have done a hearing, and babies come early all the time too.

Oh Seraphine is apparently recently out of business but still sold at Nordstrom and some other places

I’d rent from one of the maternity rental companies because maternity clothes are expensive and clothes for 9 months will not be useful for more than 2 seconds. But agree that you should at least have someone ready to step in for you. Babies don’t always come on schedule, so really anytime within 2-3 weeks of your due date is reasonable for baby to make an appearance.

This is nuts. You definitely need someone to cover this or be ready to just in case.

I did an arbitration via zoom when I was 9 months pregnant and just left my camera off the entire time and wore sweats. I also had my baby 2 weeks early, 1.5 days after the arbitration wrapped up…

The fact that he recognized that his pic might be part of the problem says it all. Law firms need to do better. Sorry, I just wanted to rant.
