Maternity clothes: Tips and tricks to buy

Is wearing the right dress one of your biggest worries during pregnancy? Has your favourite jeans stopped buttoning? The hormonal imbalance might just make you more upset about the fact that you can’t fit into your daily wears anymore, and perhaps the thought of shopping for clothes that hide the baby bumps is irksome.

Also, when you’re pregnant, dressing can be a major fashion challenge even for the trendiest mom-to-be because your body is always changing, and you don’t know which clothes in your closet are going to fit from day to day. Suddenly, you’re dressing this body that seems totally out of shape and foreign to you, and you have no idea what’s going to look good on it.

Wearing comfortable clothes during pregnancy is an important part of prenatal care that one has to look into.

So here are some tips and tricks to look for when you are buying your maternity wear. 

1. Go for basic maternity tank tops, camisoles and loose t-shirts that can be paired with skirts or jeans. 

2. When it comes to price, maternity clothes are on a bit higher side. So be wise and spend on a good pair of maternity jeans that can be used on a regular basis. 

3. Buy a couple of stretchable maternity leggings that can be teamed up with your regular tops or kurta. 

4. Maxi dresses have become ‘oh so trendy’ with women of all ages. Choose a soft jersey fabric that can drape easily over your changing body. 

5. Most important of all, invest in good maternity bras for your breasts that are also increasing in size.

6. Lastly, embrace your bump. Do not wear bigger size t-shirts of your husband. You’re better off buying a maternity dress that fits you everywhere and that accentuates your tummy, and still shows off all of your best assets.
