When your hormones start to rage and your baby bump begins to take shape, getting dressed can be tricky. But being pregnant doesn’t mean that you have to compromise on your personal style. There are so many maternity clothes choices that can flatter your growing bump and make you feel good. If you’re pregnant and unsure what to wear, here’s how to dress stylishly and comfortably:
*Start with a Jumpsuit *
When you are pregnant, there is nothing more comfortable than throwing on a nice jumpsuit to feel fresh and pretty in the morning. Jumpsuits feel relaxed and breezy and can be more comfortable than tight dresses. Choose one that is made from fabrics that allow plenty of room to grow. Also, look for one that features cross-sectional nursing panels, so you can wear it for after your baby is born as well.
*Use Belly Bands *
As your belly grows, so does your discomfort. It can be a struggle to get things done without extra support. Belly bands are a great way to provide excellent support to your growing bump. These give you coverage and help your clothes fit better as it smooths out your shape. Wearing a belly band during pregnancy can help decrease back and joint pain and make it easier to carry out everyday activities. They also provide external cues to facilitate proper posture. These too can be worn after the baby is born to provide abdomen and lower back support, thereby decreasing pain and discomfort.
*Look for Adaptable Styles *
It’s all about adaptable styles when it comes to maternity dresses and other maternity clothes. Look for clothes that expand and retract and lasts even after delivering your baby. As soon as your dresses start to get tight, make sure you buy comfortable, flowing dresses because tight clothes can cause discomfort and digestive issues during pregnancy. Buy plus size maternity clothes that have stretchy belly panels so that you can wear them throughout the entire pregnancy. Ribbed and jersey are the two common types of knits that will accommodate your changing shape as well. Choose A-line dresses, maxi dresses, dresses that beautifully drapes over your curves.
*Invest in Maternity Tops *
Maternity tops can add versatility to your maternity wardrobe as they can be dressed up or dressed down. Gently ruched at the sides, these offer plenty of room for your growing belly. They adapt perfectly during pregnancy, nursing, and beyond. You can style them with denim shorts or jeans for a casual look or pair them with skinny dress pants for an ultra-chic look. Find maternity tops made with soft, stretchy fabric, to make sure your clothes are gentle on your skin. The easy access in the front will also help to take the hassle out of breastfeeding.
These are some of the top essentials for getting a functional maternity wardrobe. They provide comfort and are also flattering to your changing shape. If you are looking for high-quality maternity clothing, visit Mother Bee Maternity’s online store.
