Pregnant mamas, if you’re still trying to fit into your regular clothes (props for trying!) or you’ve given up and stolen one of your partner’s oversized shirts to cover your growing bump, well, it’s probably time to give in and invest in some maternity wear.
If you’re dreading the prospect, you might be pleasantly surprised; you can be comfortable AND stylish. Here are some tips for buying maternity clothing.
What do I need?
Often maternity bras are the first thing pregnant women purchase. Next you’ll want some maternity jeans and leggings, and maybe a skirt or two. Maternity tops allow for your expanding bump – look for double-duty ones with hidden breastfeeding openings you can wear postpartum. And a maternity dress will mix things up and help keep you looking your best at work or special events.
What size should I get?
Most maternity clothing is designed to accommodate your belly’s growth, so start with your usual size.
When it comes to maternity bras, you’ll want to measure your bra size at around 14 weeks and for breastfeeding bras, you’ll want to measure around 36-38 weeks of pregnancy.
