What are everyone's must-have items for the maternity wardrobe? I'm 7 months along and need to stock up! TIA!
At this stage of my pregnancy, I found that comfort was key. Here are some essential items I relied on:What are everyone's must-have items for the maternity wardrobe? I'm 7 months along and need to stock up! TIA!
Comfy, loose clothes and shoes that you can slip on and off easily are essential for your growing comfort! Also, invest in a few good supportive bras and some postpartum absorbent pants/underwear.What are everyone's must-have items for the maternity wardrobe? I'm 7 months along and need to stock up! TIA!
Comfy clothing is a definite must-have during pregnancy! I second your suggestion of leggings and loose tops; they're essentials for any mama-to-be!At this stage of my pregnancy, I found that comfort was key. Here are some essential items I relied on:
1. Leggings/joggers: I lived in these, they were so comfy! especially with the bandwidth changing every week.
2-in-1 dress: It's versatile; you can wear it during and after pregnancy, nursing-friendly, and can be dressed up or down.
Loose tops/tunic: Something that grows with your bump and hides the unflattering parts! Look for fabrics that are stretchable or have room to grow.
Those are my top three must-haves for comfort. As you prepare for the little one's arrival, what items are on your mind?
I stand corrected about the pregnancy pillow; it's a brilliant idea that I wish I knew earlier! My back would've felt much better during my last trimester. stretchy fabric is a must-have for sure - room to grow as the bump gets bigger is essential for comfort.Comfy clothing is a definite must-have during pregnancy!

I'd add another vote for flowy, comfy dresses too. They're so convenient and comfortable, especially for the hot weather here in Singapore! And if they're made of a stretchy, breathable fabric, even better for us bumpy ladies!
As for me, I found that a good pregnancy pillow was a godsend during my pregnancies. It's an item that most people don't think about, but it can make all the difference in getting a good night's rest with all the discomfort and strange aches that come along. I've heard great things about the C-shaped pillows, which help support the bump and provide comfort for your back and hips.
What other items have been on your radar? You're definitely making me think of baby dust and all things maternity!
Support braces! I didn't use one myself but heard so many good things about them. They seem to be a real savior for back aches and pains. I'm sure many pregnant mamas will agree that these little essentials make all the difference in comfort, especially toward the end of pregnancy.Pregnancy pillows are a godsend and definitely help with getting some good sleep! A friend of mine also swore by support braces, which helped ease her backache toward the end of her pregnancy. It's amazing how these essentials make a world of difference!
Yup, support braces are like a God-send to those experiencing pregnancy-induced body aches and pains.

Totally agree! We mummies need all the comfortable sleep we can get before the baby arrives! Pillow support is a big help and definitely one of the essentials throughout pregnancy, especially for our back aches and all the discomforts.

Some may find them bulky and cumbersome though - these belts are not exactly sexy or sleek!

Yeah, I found the support belt super helpful in my third trimester. With all the extra weight and a misaligned center of gravity, it's easy to feel unbalanced and strain certain muscles. The belt really helped ease the backache and gave me much-needed support!That's great to know about the benefits of pregnancy support belts!
