FAQ:

What not to wear in maternity?

During maternity, avoid tight-fitting clothes that can restrict movement and cause discomfort. Steer clear of fabrics that don’t breathe well, such as polyester, as they can lead to overheating. High heels and shoes without proper support are also best avoided, as they can lead to balance issues and strain on your back and feet.

Can I wear regular clothes while pregnant?

You can wear regular clothes while pregnant, especially during the early stages. Look for items with stretchy fabrics, adjustable waistbands, or loose-fitting styles. However, maternity-specific clothing will provide better support and comfort as your pregnancy progresses.

How should I accessorize my summer maternity outfits?

Accessorize your summer maternity outfits with practical and stylish items. Choose delicate, lightweight jewelry to add a touch of elegance without adding extra weight. Opt for comfortable, supportive flats that provide good arch support. Complete your look with a crossbody bucket bag that allows you to carry essentials hands-free.

How do I choose the right size for maternity clothes?

When choosing maternity clothes, select your pre-pregnancy size, as most are designed to accommodate your growing bump. Look for items with adjustable features, such as elastic waists, ties, or stretchy fabrics. If unsure, consult the brand’s sizing chart or try different sizes to find the most comfortable fit.
