Pants and Leggings
Now, this is one definite wardrobe essential every first-time mums needs to have. A great pair of maternity jeans is sure to come in handy as you’ll likely be living in them all through the nine months. Maternity pants or shorts typically come with panels instead of a conventional zipper and fly combination. Just so you know, some of the pants are low while some are a full-over-the-belly panel. It’s your choice to decide which one you prefer.
Sometimes you may choose to skip paneled pants; there’s no crime in that as there are other options including super-elastic waistbands and jogger-style pants with drawstring closures.
Next up are leggings, it’ll be great to find a pair that’s supportive without being too tight; they may or may not be created for pregnancy. However, they should have lots of stretch and be made of a breathable material. Finding the right pair of leggings is sure to make your feel and look good even with the beautiful baby bump.
Underwear
The right foundation is a sure way to make your clothes look better. You can opt for any style you fancied pre-pregnancy is sure to work during pregnancy. Just try to get them in a larger size and wear them beneath your belly. Also, remember to get underwear made with cotton as they are sure to keep you cool, dry and less susceptible to yeast infection.

The best way make sure your bra is fitting and supportive for your new size is it head to the store and get a fitting session with a knowledgeable saleswoman. This simple tactic can result in months of comfort. In addition to getting traditional bras, you can also go for sport bras for extra support.

Skirts and dresses offer lots of benefits for pregnant women. They’re easy to wear and remove, flattering and they sure can keep you cool in warmer months. The ideal dress can be worn in a variety of ways to get a dozen different looks. As first time mums, Wrap dresses are a must have as the offer great comfort and they look excellent on just about every body type.
Maternity skirts feature similar waistline options as pants such as a drawstring, panel or low rise. I recommend Denim and black as they go with just about everything.
T-shirts
Looking simple and comfortable as a mom-to-be is possible with some cute body-con T-shirts. T and flowy longer tops look perfect with jeans or leggings. Remember to keep it simple and comfortable, and you can use a statement necklace or earrings to spice up your outfit.
