Planning Your Pregnancy Wardrobe

 

Being pregnant can be an emotional rollercoaster.  You just calm down from the excitement of finding out that you’re pregnant, then the hormones take over your body, morning sickness may take its toll and then to top it all off you start to find your figure expanding! 


You may find it strange to adapt to your expanding waistline – some women are more comfortable than others with their changing appearance.  There are maternity items which are fabulous at making your bump appear smaller – clothing with dark colours or a clever design can be great for this.  Other mums-to-be are happy to make the most of their bump, with figure-hugging items to show off their curves.  Choose whatever style makes you feel best.  Take a look at the range of good value maternity wear on Very.  You’ll find loose-fitting items such as a flowing silk vest, and a gorgeous paisley print maxi dress – or close-fitting vest tops and a shirt and waistcoat set - all from Mamas & Papas. 


It’s worth choosing maternity clothes carefully – you’ll enjoy them while you wear them, but you’ll probably be glad to be out of them as your figure gradually slims down again after your baby is born.  Getting back into non-maternity wear is a big landmark for most women post-pregnancy!   So make sure you invest in a well-planned set of clothes to see you through your pregnancy (not forgetting some essentials such as maternity bras to provide the support you need) - and look forward to treating yourself to some more new clothes after the birth – a well-earned boost in those exhausting early weeks, as you lose the baby pounds. 


Shopping online is a great option during the first few weeks of pregnancy when you may be suffering from morning sickness, and again later when you reach the tiring third trimester.  If you want to to avoid trailing round the shops looking for maternity clothes, just browse and shop from the comfort of your own home.  Very's range of clothing and baby items is a great place to start your maternity shopping.
