Pregnancy Dressing Tips for New and Expecting Mothers
First of all let us be the first to say to you congratulations if you’re going to be a mom! Whether it’s your very first baby or you’re expecting a sibling for your child or children, this is a very exciting (and even at times stressful!) stage in your life.
If you’re wondering what we mean by ‘tips’ from the headline, we’re talking about dressing you up! Yes, we mean you, soon-to-be-mom. You deserve to feel as beautiful as every woman; after all, this is a huge part of your life we’re talking about! One thing we know for sure is that it can be so hard to find clothing that not only feels comfortable but also looks beautiful. It always seems like you can only have one or the other—but that’s not the case anymore! Thankfully, there are way more options available to us now. Let’s go over how you can best explore these options for dressing up while pregnant together.
Materials Matter
The style of clothing is not the only thing to consider when dressing while pregnant. Temperatures fluctuate so often when you’re expecting that it can be tough to stick with certain clothes if you feel like you’re overheating! Go with breathable materials when it comes to your clothes so that temperature is less of an issue to worry about.
Go with the Flow!
If you’d rather wear something other than a wrap dress for the time being, there are lots of other ways you can dress in your maternal state. Flow-y shirts and tops help; these can fit nicely over your baby bump and skim your frame. Button-up and oversized flow-y shirts are great too, especially if you want to nurse post-baby (if that’s the plan you have in mind).
Don’t be Afraid to Accessorize!
Investing in a few non-maternity items can add a punch to your look even post-pregnancy. Why not grab a patterned scarf, striking earrings and jewelry, or a new jacket or coat fashioned out of the hottest colours of 2019? These kinds of accessories can be used even outside of the trimester lifestyle!
Go with a Wrap Dress
Convertible wrap dresses are the perfect dress for pregnant women! Not only do some of the designs make you look beautiful, but also they are 100% designed to fit and accommodate every curve of your body—including your baby belly! You won’t have to worry about adding a belt around your waist or altering your favourite pair of pants if you don’t know how to sew. All you have to do with your wrap dress is put it on, style it however you want for your day, and off you go!
The other great thing about wrap dresses are the materials. Each is made from breathable spandex so that temperature is better regulated (something we know you are having trouble with as an expecting mom!).
Bonus tip: Go for a Maternity Photoshoot
You deserve to feel proud for becoming a mother! Moms need all of the love they can get; they are hardworking, dedicated, and incredible women who don’t seem to get the amount of credit they deserve (and before you say it, we know Mother’s Day exists; that’s just one day of the year though, we’re talking about year-round). Going for a maternity photoshoot can make you feel glamorous despite all of the changes going on in your body right now. Be sure to pick a photographer who understands this big stage of your life.
