Congrats Mergret!!!
I'm excited for you! Motherhood is an adventure. :D I don't know what kind of garb you normally wear, is that late Tudor? I don't really have much experience with that garb+pregnancy/nursing, but anything that is easily expandable around the bust & waist for pregnancy or has seams near your breasts for nursing could probably be adaptable. There may even be some woodcut illustrations from the era of pregnant/nursing mothers. Most kids like the SCA stuff - they'll be playing along with you!
