Comfort and pregnancy rarely go hand in hand, and looking great at the same time? Forget about it. Let’s be real. Unfortunately, as time goes on, you’ll just be ready to feel normal again. However, your skin is glowing, you’re getting lots of attention, and you need maternity clothes that make you feel great, look great, and won’t cost a fortune.
Building a versatile maternity wardrobe helps you get dressed in the morning more easily and will have you spending more time and money on that bundle of joy than worrying about what to wear.
NURSING TANKS
Buying nursing tanks in several different colors now will give you comfort and versatility throughout your pregnancy and beyond. As you grow, the nursing tanks will stretch with you, and then you can use them for nursing.
Wear them to bed or for extra support under your other maternity clothes. Honestly, nursing tanks are super comfortable even when you’re not pregnant or nursing. Shh. Don’t tell anyone.
OTHER NURSING SHIRTS
Nursing shirts are made to be soft, stretchy, and comfortable. This means they also make great maternity shirts. Once again, you can wear clothes beyond just pregnancy, so your money goes farther. Don’t waste your money on maternity shirts when you can get something useful for the long term.
BUTTON-UPS
Button up shirts are cute buttoned up or over a bright cami. Hello, nursing tanks! Pair your button-ups with the nursing tanks you bought in a variety of colors, and you’ll be able to mix and match layers for your whole pregnancy.
It’s buttoned up enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend. When you get too big to button them up, they look stylish unbuttoned, so you won’t waste your money on a bigger size.
MATERNITY BOTTOMS
You definitely want to invest in comfortable maternity bottoms, whatever that looks like for you. Invisible bellies, elastic waistlines, and stretchy yoga pants are all great. As you recover, nurse, and return to normal, these will provide even more comfort and flexibility.
The costs of having a baby can quickly add up, so it’s important to start budgeting as soon as you start planning a family or know you’re pregnant. If you invest in versatile maternity clothes now, you’ll find that you can wear them throughout your pregnancy, your recovery, and your normal routine. The money you spend on these items now will be well worth it later.
