Am I ready for maternity clothes?
That depends on you. Many styles now fit from early pregnancy through nursing, as most grow with you. There will come a day you will wake up, go to get dressed and suddenly, nothing fits right. This usually happens around the second trimester, but for some it may happen earlier.
What about all these pant styles? I'm confused!
You may be a bit confused when it comes to all the tummy panel choices you have. Comfort is the most important thing when deciding what kind of panel you need. Here are some of the different options you have.
No Panel- Fits at or below belly with regular zip or button close. Elastic waist or adjustable side panels for a comfortable fit. Best for early pregnancy and after.
Low or Demi Panel- Full wide elastic waistband that can be worn under belly or low over belly. Works for the whole 9 months and after.
Full Panel- These have a soft expandable knit panel that grows with you. Sits high on waist for support without constricting. Best 3-9 months.
Fold-Over Panel- Can be worn folded over to sit underbelly, low on belly or left as a full tummy panel. Works for all stages of pregnancy.
What about sizes?
Choose your pre-pregnancy size unless you are carrying multiples or have put on more baby weight than expected.
Helpful Hints
If this is your first pregnancy consider buying quality clothing that you will be able to wear for the next baby. Try buying new items throughout your pregnancy as an added pick me up. You do not have to give up style, today's fashions are trendy, stylish and sexy.....enjoy!
