The pregnant woman's closet

Nowadays we don't need to be disguised just for having a prominent abdomen. Very modern and practical maternity clothes are sold with which we can feel beautiful and comfortable. We can create a varied maternity wardrobe without spending too much money.

The most practical thing is to buy a pair of pants and colored skirts that can be combined with stretchable elastics especially for pregnant women that adapt to the size of the belly. As well as a dress, which if it is one of those that intersect, better and the inevitable: jeans. It would be ideal if they were mid-season garments, neither too thick nor too thin, since we will be pregnant for at least two seasons.

It is always good to snoop in the closets of friends, sisters or sisters-in-law who have been pregnant to see if we rescue something that can serve us and save us some purchase. For the rest, for the top, we can fix with our clothes or buy blouses, shirts or sweaters a size larger than usual.

Maybe in the second half of pregnancy we should replace the heels with lower shoes and rubber soles. If you have very swollen feet, buy one more number; It is not the time to be suffering.

As for the underwear, it must be comfortable with breathable fabrics (preferably cotton) and not tight. The thong, banished. Almost certainly from the first months you have to buy bigger bras, without rings or seams and with wide straps. There are tights for pregnant women who have an annex on the front to support the abdomen, with wide elastic that does not oppress.

If summer is your turn, you can buy a bikini or maternity swimsuit or one larger than your usual size, a fabric that dries quickly. The pareo is a very versatile garment that you can also wear as a dress to go to the beach or the pool.
