1- Maternity pants
The first thing a mother-to-be sees is weight gain in her abdomen and hips. For this reason, she needs to wear maternity pants. It is very important that the maternity pants purchased are made of knitted fabric that wraps around the abdomen and has an elastic band. The part of the body that will grow the most during pregnancy is of course the abdomen. The fabric that will wrap around this part should neither be too tight nor too loose. Otherwise, it can squeeze the abdomen and disturb the baby.
2- Pay attention to fabric selection
Prefer to use natural fabrics. When you are pregnant, your body temperature will be 0.5 to 1 degrees warmer from the day you ovulate. This temperature continues until the end of pregnancy. For this reason, prefer to use fabrics that are breathable and will not cause any problems with body temperature. Fibers such as cotton, linen or wool are natural; materials such as viscose, polyester and polyamide are artificial fabrics that are man-made. At the same time, body skin is more sensitive during pregnancy. For this reason, you should be careful to stay away from any substance that will itch or irritate your body as much as possible.
3- Do not fill your closet immediately
Don't fill your wardrobe right away when you first shop during pregnancy. Companies in the maternity clothing sector try to make clothes that your body can carry throughout pregnancy. However, this is valid for average weight gains. You should also consider your ability to exceed the average. For this reason, prefer to set aside a portion of your budget for later periods.
4- Make a combination
Pay attention to the maximum matching status of the new clothes that will enter your wardrobe. Pay attention to the concept expressed as "mix and match" in English, which indicates the possibility of combining clothes with each other. Because, maternity clothes are worn for approximately 6 months. During this period, it will be more profitable to create the maximum combination with the least number of clothes. Unfortunately, maternity clothes are more expensive than average clothing products, not only in our country but all over the world. Do not forget to think about what you will complete this product you have bought with.
5- If you are not buying maternity clothes, be sure to buy tops with longer fronts.
Pregnant women are much more free in choosing their tops. Because tops like blouses and sweaters can be easily purchased from regular clothing stores. Dresses and tunics that become looser from under the bust are quite comfortable and save the day. The front of maternity clothes is generally longer than the back. As the belly starts to grow, weight is gained from the front. In this case, it is beneficial for the front part to be a little longer than normal. If you are not buying maternity clothes, you should pay more attention to this issue when you buy short dresses.
6- Choosing trousers according to height
If you are tall, choose wide-cut or wide-leg trousers; if you are petite, choose capri trousers that end at the ankle. It is more stylish to combine wide-leg trousers with tops that fit the body perfectly; and to combine loose tunics with tight trousers.
7- You can wear these clothes for another 9 months after birth.
No pregnant woman is discharged from the hospital where she gave birth with the same weight as before she became pregnant. Experts state that approximately 9 months is a suitable period for the weight gained during 9 months to be shed from the body after pregnancy. Thus, you may have to wear some of the maternity clothes for a while after pregnancy. However, our experience shows that many pregnant women do not want to wear their maternity clothes again after giving birth.
8- Lycra choices
You don't have to compromise on comfort for the sake of being modern, or on being modern for the sake of being comfortable. No piece of clothing you buy should be tight or uncomfortable for you. For this reason, maternity clothing manufacturers use a substance known as lycra in the fabric. Lycra adds stretch to the fabric. However, lycra loses its properties when exposed to heat for a long time. For this reason, be careful to wear your clothes back to back. You will see that models without lycra are generally loose-fitting.
9- Accessories have the final say
Don't forget the charm of black and don't forget that the accessories you will combine with the clothes you buy will add new functions to the outfit. A blouse you wear at work can be an evening outfit with a small accessory. In short, accessories are the ginger of the outfit.
10- Wear flat-soled shoes
If you want your feet to be comfortable during pregnancy and do not want to suffer from pain after walking, you should choose flat-soled shoes. Also, if you do not have a partner who is with you at all hours and helps you put on your shoes, avoid shoes with laces. During pregnancy, you will feel that your feet grow a little more than normal.
10+Bonus : How should underwear be chosen?
When choosing underwear during pregnancy, you should prefer cotton products. During pregnancy, you are very likely to catch urinary tract infections and similar infections. For this reason, it is absolutely necessary for your health to wear breathable underwear. During pregnancy, breasts, which will start to produce milk, will slowly start to grow. It would be beneficial to buy maternity bras that do not have underwire and do not put pressure on the breasts. You will not be the only one who uses bras that are one or two cups larger than your normal breast size.
