Essential Maternity Clothes Every New Mum Needs

Whether this is your first pregnancy or your fourth, you know when the time comes to invest in some maternity clothes. There’s no denying the fact that your changing shape requires maternity clothes - they are another of those essentials when you are expecting.

What is essential maternity wear?

Sadly, economic difficulties have seen many families cutting down what they consider non-essential items, so here is a short-list of items that are essential for every mother-to-be’s wardrobe:

-         Maternity jeans: Denims make a fantastic staple in any season and are a timeless classic. No pregnant woman can afford to be without a pair of maternity jeans. Keep in mind that you might be wearing these jeans a lot longer than just the pregnancy.

-         A (slightly more roomy) little black dress: Just because you are having a baby doesn’t mean that invites to parties won’t stop coming. A black dress means you can instantly feel great at a moment’s notice, even when your ankles feel swollen! Maternity dresses are designed to accentuate your curves in all the right places, and as an added advantage, your belly will look great in any photo.

-         A comfortable outfit: It goes without saying but you will need something comfortable for relaxing around the house, hopefully something you are doing a lot of now. Choose all cotton fabrics with a spacious cut and make the most of your relaxation time. Just because you're at home watching another season of your favourite show and nibbling on ice cream and pickles does not mean you can’t look fabulous doing it.
