ur so rite!! the media always has something negative to say they just want drama... I think since it's affordable it's at a good price range for young moms which is a good thing but doesn't mean 30 something year olds aren't getting pregnant doesn't mean they can't buy the clothes.... I'm a young mom maternity clothes was way to expensive so I just bought larger sizes or wore sweats lol

@purplefrosting17 I totally agree I mean the media is always trying to blow things out of proportion for some views and publicity. I know what you mean I know a few of my friends did what you did and just bought bigger clothes its sucha a shame because you should be able to embrace yourself and your style and feel beautiful when your pregnant because it is sucha beautiful thing no matter your age.

i'm 23, married, and pregnant with my first child. they announced the line around the beginning of my pregnancy and i was thrilled! i don't want to have to spend tons of money to look decent just because i happen to be pregnant. and lots of adults shop at forever 21! teenagers actually only make up about 25% of forever 21's customer base.

I'm 27 years old and am expecting my first child.

I can tell you that most of the maternity clothes out there is aimed more towards older people. I dont want to dress like an old lady just because im pregnant!!!

there arent many choices out there that are affordable so this in my opinion is a great business for them to get into! Not only teenagers shop at forever 21!

@redrosesblack06 Sex is causing girls to get pregnant. lol - If they see a maternity shirt in the store and THAT sparks the idea for them to get pregnant, they have more issues than F21 can take responsibility for.

It's not just young, 15 year old girls that shop at Forever 21... I'm 22 and I shop there and I have a 2 year old daughter. Pregnant women like looking trendy too! I wish I would have known about this line when I was pregnant because I had the hardest time finding clothes that made me feel cute! Maybe they didn't have it 2 years ago, idk - but I'm glad they do now ;)

i agree, but i hope it doesnt cause more girls to get pregnant

I pretty much agree its a smart marketing strategy on their behalf considering it is a fact that so many young girls get pregnant each year.
