When it comes to buying new clothes during your pregnancy, it can feel a bit overwhelming. You’re starting to outgrow your current wardrobe and the number of items you’re able to wear for your ever-expanding belly is getting smaller by the day!

It can be tempting to rush out and buy lots of pregnancy clothes or simply clothes in a bigger size. 

The good news is you don’t need to go out and buy a brand-new wardrobe for your pregnancy. The key is to streamline your wardrobe and create some staple maternity outfits so dressing in the morning is straightforward and fuss-free.

These are the basic items that will make dressing easier and which will make you feel comfortable throughout the day.

To help you dress with confidence and ease during pregnancy, bbhugme has created a maternity wear collection with the essentials in mind.

The maternity essentials you need in your pregnancy wardrobe

Three key items that you’ll wear time and again during pregnancy (and beyond)

1. Pregnancy leggings

There’s a reason why pregnancy leggings are a mama-to-be’s go-to item throughout pregnancy. Not only are they incredibly comfortable but they go with everything – whether it’s to wear under a dress or with a top, shirt, or sweater. One item, a million different ways to style.

By selecting a good quality pair of pregnancy leggings you can rely on these to fit you throughout your pregnancy. You should look for ones that provide ample support for your belly, lower back, and pelvis without restricting movement. You also want to choose leggings with breathable fabric so you can stay cool and comfortable.

Mamas-to-be love them for the extra belly support they give – with many continuing to wear them after their baby is born! They really are the leggings that keep on giving.

2. Comfort bra

Whether or not your breasts get bigger during pregnancy, your size and shape is changing. For this reason alone it’s worth investing in a new bra so you feel comfortable and supported throughout your pregnancy. This is especially true if you notice your bras are suddenly tight, your breasts are spilling over, or you experience shortness of breath due to a tight chest.

A good pregnancy bra is one that will properly support you and grow with you during your pregnancy. The last thing you want is to have to buy a new bra every couple of months! Ideally, you also want to opt for a non-wired bra as these are the safest and most comfortable for your pregnant body.

3. Pregnancy support belt

A pregnancy support belt can be a complete game-changer during your pregnancy. It offers much-needed support to your ever-expanding belly, allowing you to move more easily as you go about your day.

Many mamas-to-be look for a pregnancy support belt when they are experiencing discomfort around the hips, pelvis and lower back. A well-fitting and adjustable pregnancy support belt can give them the body support they need.
