More style tips:
•
Oversized button up shirts are perfect, especially as your belly
grows. You can wear them open and layer over a tee too.
•
Find t-shirts with a hemline that’s higher at the front so it won’t
be so tight over your bump.
•
If you’re feeling frumpy go for a little black casual dress and
accessorise with a scarf or jewellery and a longline gilet
cardigan/jacket can be used as an extra layer.
•
Invest in a couple of pairs of maternity jeans/trousers that fit
well. Try them on, if you try on in early pregnancy, you may need
a size bigger than your usual for them to last.
•
Invest in a couple of really comfortable, well fitted, non-underwired
maternity bras.
•
Horizontal stripes are ( for a change) flattering rather than
fattening as they accentuate your bump.
•
Wrap dresses are great, if you feel you’re gaining weight the ‘v’
neckline will be slimming and the wrap will feel comfortable
across your bump. Go as loose or tight as you like.
•
For your hospital bag, pack high rise comfortable knickers. If you
end up having a caesarean (as I did) you’ll need underwear
that goes over the stitches.
