Choose Maternity Wardrobe Wisely
Pregnancy is an amazing and joyful time, but it somehow can be stressful. There are lots of things to do, and so many things to worry about. One of them is maternity wardrobe. From T-shirts that show off the future mother’s belly to swimsuits for pregnant women, anything is possible. But are they healthy to the mother and the baby? Important rules to choose maternity clothes are fashionable and comfortable for both mommy-to-be and baby.
Here are some suggestions to help you stay attractive and even sexy throughout your pregnancy.
Material
Cloth material is the very first thing you should take into consideration. Maternity wardrobe should be good, and more important thing is keep you warm all the time.
During pregnancy, your body temperature rise slightly. It’s also common for skin to become sensitive to man-made fabrics, resulting in hot, scratchy rashes. Specialists recommend the pregnant woman to choose natural fabrics such as cotton, wool, silk, and linen and stay away from tight clothes because they block the skin from breathing.
Thick and soft material is wise choice for winter style. Add more sweaters and scarves to your wardrobe to always stay healthy in severe winter.
Design
In the first few months of pregnancy women have no idea how their weight gain will progress throughout the coming nine months. From the 4th month, your baby bump will be bigger so fast, so you should buy skirts and pants with elastic waistbands that will give you the longest wearing time.
For some, they choose trousers over skirts even though we already know that skirts are much more convenient than trousers are. In this case, you should buy trousers with proper material and elastic waistbands.
Moreover, bottleneck sweater is what a mom-to-be should hang in her wardrobe. Bottleneck sweater will not only help you go against the winter but it is also trendy.
Colors
Go neutral colors like black, white, brown, grey and bold blue will never stay out-of-date. However, what matter is to choose the one that fix your skin tone. You can opt for ton sur ton between shirts and skirts or pants. You will look great in this style, for sure. If possible, mix some accessories such as hats, sunglasses, bags and shoes for the perfect look.
Maternity bras
Breasts increase between two and four cup sizes, and become tender, as a result of the hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy. Pregnant women require larger cup sizes and widths in the first and second trimesters. Buy nursing bras in the third trimester to get the best as they also have adjustable cups, so you don’t need to buy a new bra every time you go up another cup size.
Keep in mind that you should avoid purchasing bras with an underwire. These bras may prevent your milk from flowing properly and they also cause blood circulation problems.
Underwear
Proper underwear is very important. You should buy underwear through trimesters to fix your bigger belly. Cotton and lace are great fabrics for your daily basis.
Shoes
High heels always are in the must-have list of things of a woman as heels make woman look sexier and boost her confidence a lot. However, try to forget that thought during your pregnancy because of the high possibility to fall in high heels. You should try flat shoes to feel comfortable. Do not wear tight shoes; try the one with one size bigger than usual.

- Maternity clothes can be expensive, especially considering that you’ll only be wearing them for a few months. Shop wisely to get the most for your money. In some case, you can make use of your relatives and friends’ clothes or buy used.
- When try the clothes, you should go back and forth, sit down and stand up to judge if it is really good or not.
