Pregnant in the field - What are we wearing?

Hello! I am pregnant in my second trimester and starting to show. I work in construction management for a GC so a good chunk of my day is spent in the office trailer (thank god because it's 100 degrees in GA rn) but I do spend a lot of time in the field as well. My typical oitfit is jeans/polo/work boots but as my bump is growing I would rather die than put any of that on. Anyone have any good recommendations for daily field wear that isn't so restrictive?

Clothing Recommendations?

I'm with a large commercial company and all the women have the same issue. We bounce between field and office and sometimes end up looking a little rough in meetings. Are there any clothing companies that offer polished enough for the office but durible enough to take a beating in the field?

Job Market

I’m just curious if any women are having issues landing a job in the market right now. Since May I’ve applied to hundreds of jobs and even landing some interviews but I’m not getting hired. I’m a hard worker in a city that’s thriving San Diego, CA but I can’t understand why it taking so long to get hired! I’m feeling discouraged and wished instead of being in STEM or in the AEC field I should have just gone into healthcare.

Share Your Experience With Field Apparel

Hello, we are reaching out because one of our Girls in the Civil community is currently researching women's workwear for women in the field and gathering input from women who wear it every day.

There are already brands creating women’s workwear, but she’s exploring what may still be missing, what could be improved, and what women in the field actually want and need.

We’d love for anybody who sees this post and works in the field to take a few minutes to fill out her survey and share your experience.

It’s a short form, and your feedback could be really helpful as she develops her ideas.
