Product Information

Whatever your preference and whatever your size, bear in mind maternity clothes have been specially designed with the growing pregnant body in mind, so if you're finding your pre-pregnancy wardrobe a little snug, it's well worth investing in some, even if it's just a few staple pieces. What are the best clothes to wear when pregnant?

Given that you won’t be wearing many of your maternity pieces forever, it may be that you don’t want to spend a lot of money on an entirely new wardrobe. It may not seem like the be all and end all but something as simple as shape can make a real difference. I recommend Happy Mama. The quality is fine - easily lasted me a pregnancy and a bit afterwards.” (Vetted by Mumsnet user Ellpellwood) Our verdictI bought a pair of Love Luna from Sainsbury's... I've found them very comfy, and they stay feeling dry."(Tried and tested by Mumsnet user PolkadotsAndMoonbeams) Our verdict

I've just got a few of their tops, I like them a lot and they're not expensive... All mine have just been through their first wash and retained their shape, feel and stitching perfectly. Yes I'd say they'd be fine for both office wear and after pregnancy, in fact I bought them because I didn't want to buy much maternity wear which I'd only wear for a few more months, so I got the nursing tops which should still be useful afterwards as well as now for the bump."(Recommended by Mumsnet user catsofa) Our verdict When purchasing pregnancy underwear, each brand will be different so be sure to look at the size guide. As a general rule, we recommend you should size up at least one size from your usual pre-pregnancy size, to ensure maximum comfort and a little extra room. The waistline is a high point mentioned by moms who like these underwear. Lisafé Carreon, Senior Product Manager at BabyCenter, says the waist was low-cut and comfy during her pregnancy, and she really liked how it sat under her belly. Some BabyCenter moms say that the fit takes some getting used to, but they're glad they gave the style a shot: "It is pretty strange at first wearing underwear that come so low in the front, but I find them super comfy and think they'll still be perfectly functional postpartum," said one BabyCenter Community member.

3. Best maternity clothes for long-lasting quality: Seraphine

Leaky boobs on the brain? Nursing bras in pregnancy can give the option to add breast pads if desired, to allow you to soak up any little leaks you may have, in the build up to meeting your little one.

Comfort is key during pregnancy. So chances are good that you’re on the lookout for maternity wear that helps you feel both confident and cozy throughout the trimesters. While you may have already snagged some pregnancy leggings or a go-to maternity sweater, you may not have thought about one of the most basic items in your wardrobe: underwear. The Grow With Me collection from Kindred Bravely is SO comfy! I don’t think I’ll wear another kind of underwear even after pregnancy." The minute I put them on I scolded myself for squeezing into my normal clothes for so long when maternity trousers are the most comfortable thing in the world! The earlier you buy them the lower the cost per wear as well!"- Mumsnetter dinosaurkisses. Are maternity clothes worth buying?

Can tight underwear hurt my baby?

We loved the fact that many of the Smallshow pieces, such as their nursing dresses, came in a huge variety of patterns and colours and they even do a nursing hoodie for cooler days in a range of eight different colours. If underwear is loose, stretchy, and comfortable, it's simply not going to be supportive; support requires firmer fabric and special design. These Belevation briefs have a band of supportive bamboo fabric that stretches from hip to hip and fits beneath your belly, giving you uplift where you need it. How they manage it without irritating seams is nearly magical, and moms-to-be are accordingly impressed with the supportive comfort. Note for plus sized moms: 2XL is roughly a women's size 20-26, fitting hips up to 52 inches. My experience with these lace maternity thongs has been quite positive. The durable lace material stretches comfortably to fit my changing body, and the seamless design keeps me feeling stylish and confident in my favorite outfits. I appreciate the flattering v-shaped waistband and the fact that they're made in the USA with low-impact dyes, ensuring they're safe for me to wear. While the support may not be as strong as some other options, the overall comfort and style make these thongs a great addition to my maternity wardrobe. When to Start Wearing Maternity Underwear It depends on how often you want to do laundry. A minimum of seven pairs is a good idea if you want to do a weekly wash, but since pregnant women may have more vaginal discharge and may experience urinary incontinence, you may want to get more so you're covered in case you need to change more than once a day.
