Belly Band

Belly Band One of the most must have basic clothing pieces for pregnant women is the belly band. A belly band is basically a tube top that goes around your belly. It helps ease back pain as it gives back support not only during the day, but also when you sleep. Belly bands also help you save money by extending the length of time you can wear your pre-pregnancy clothes. You can cover the unzipped fly and buttons of your normal jeans by wearing a belly band over them.

Comfortable Underwear

Comfortable Underwear When I say underwear, I mean panties and bras. Maternity underwear makes your pregnancy easier and much more comfy. Granny panties are not the only option you can choose. Maternity panties now come in different styles: bikini, boy shorts and thongs. When choosing maternity bras, make sure you prioritize support and comfort over style. Sport bras, tanks and camisoles with built-in bras are usually the go-tos when it comes to picking maternity bras.

Cardigans and Scarves

Cardigans and Scarves Cardigans are great for any season, too! When pregnant, veer away from button down cardigans and go for the drapey, open-front ones. Wearing cardigans gives the illusion of a more elongated and vertical figure. Choose cardigans that are made out of light fabric for warmer seasons; pick thicker and more cozy ones on cooler seasons. I suggest wearing the kimono cardigans for a more daring and chic style.

Good Pair of Shoes /Sandals

Good Pair of Shoes /Sandals Forget about your stilettos for now! Now that you're pregnant, comfortable flat shoes are the more sensible and practical choice of footwear. As you're nearing your due date, your weight gets heavier and your feet will carry that weight. Feel more comfortable by wearing slip on shoes, such as ballet flats and loafers. A good pair of sandals is also a must have since your feet might swell in the later stages of your pregnancy.

Dressing up for your pregnancy does not have to be stressful and daunting. Changing your wardrobe can be a breeze just by simply stocking your closet with these basic maternity clothing pieces.
