Hi Mamabear,

My daughter is 3 and half months old as of today. When I was pregnant with her I continued to carry my Glock 17 IWB. It was terribly difficult, but well worth it. The key to making this method work for me was to buy a significantly larger, durable belt. I found a good industrial strength men's belt at Wal-Mart that worked well. I simply slung the belt below my protruding belly and practiced my draws everyday. I tried carrying in my purse, very much like you, but I had built up so much muscle memory from drawing via my right hip that switching was impractical. If I ever was in a situation where I had to draw, my belly was already enough of a hindrance for getting myself and my daughter to safety; I didn't want to add my gun to that list. I am very proud of you for not ditching the gun altogether. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what any of us say. All that matters is your level of comfort. Congratulations, Mama!
