Finding Fashionable Clothes When Pregnant
It is a fantastic, exciting time when you find out that you are pregnant. You cannot wait for your stomach to grow into a proper bump so that everyone can see that you are expecting and not just eaten too much.
When your stomach does start to expand, everyone has the same dilemma, what should I wear? For the first three months generally you should still be able to fit into your normal clothes, when you hit around 12 to 14 weeks this is normally the point you will have to invest in some maternity wear.
Rather than buying a big size or a size that you anticipate you will end up, get your regular dress size as they will allow for expansion of your stomach either by having a big stretchy band or with elastic inside which can be moved to make the waistband bigger.
It used to be a challenge for women who followed fashion to find fashionable maternity clothes but these days there is a vast choice on offer.
High street women’s clothing shops now stock a selection of maternity clothes in their larger stores as do the shops which stock baby products.
looking on trend is now possible when you are pregnant as maternity clothes designers now make maternity versions of their normal clothes ranges. So why not try brown boots with skinny jeans and a long line top or boots with pretty floral day dresses.
If you find that you have developed itchy skin complaints or are swelling up in the evenings then try wearing a leather watch rather than one with a metal strap as the metal may irritate your skin further and If you are having problems with swollen limbs then the leather will stretch slightly anyway.
All maternity ranges will make dresses or outfits for special events such as weddings, christenings and other occasions. If you cannot find what you want locally in store try online.
If all else fails then go to a regular clothes shop and try on some empire line dresses, they have full skirts and are fitted around the bust so there will be no tight ill fitting gaps.
As you progress through the pregnancy you might find that you are increasingly uncomfortable in the evenings and are unable to settle. Maternity tracksuit trousers are good for lounging round the house in for this type of thing and also maybe try a long body pillow.
Look for a specially shaped cushion that you can fit around your body. There are numerous ones to pick from such as ones that support the bump or others that nestle around your back.
