I’m pregnant, how do I dress? Oh yes, the period of pregnancy brings not only joy, but also some “nice annoyance”. In fact, as the belly grows, the number of clothes available in the wardrobe decreases and the question what do I wear today? it becomes more and more frequent, creating useless anxieties.
In fact, just visit the shops specializing in maternity fashion to realize how much the world of fashion has to offer pregnant women, from the first months to the breastfeeding period.
How to dress in 9 months of pregnancy
The first rule for dressing while pregnant and always feeling at ease is not to change your clothing style . You can bring jeans, leggings, tight-fitting clothes and everything you like to wear. As the belly grows then every woman will realize what her body requires and the most suitable clothing for that period.
- The first trimester of pregnancy usually presents no challenges in terms of clothing and fashion, because you can easily wear items that are already in your wardrobe. Favorite old jeans, t-shirts and shirts are still fine, although over time the garments will start to get a little tight. To overcome the problem, you can wear larger-sized clothes that are not yet maternity-style.
- In the second trimester of pregnancy comes the need to look for comfortable clothes that welcome the bump. Even wearing the loosest clothes you have in the wardrobe is no longer enough because, even if they are of the right size or elasticised, the change in the body makes them uncomfortable. In this period, therefore, the challenge could be to implement tricks and stratagems to enlarge the clothes even by a few centimeters and be able to wear them as long as possible.
- Getting dressed in the third trimester of pregnancy instead involves having to really renew the wardrobe with the purchase of underwear, dresses and maternity trousers. So to find the right pregnancy outfit for any occasion you have to look around. You can find inspiration not only by taking a look at the fashion items they offer in specialized stores, but also at the maternity outfits that your favorite blogger moms wear. 🙂
To help you find the right maternity clothes for every moment and occasion of pregnancy and breastfeeding, I will show you the most interesting topics on the subject that have been covered here Fertile Period.
