Maternity Fashion FAQ

Where to buy maternity dresses?

There are so many places to shop for maternity dresses including Amazon, Old Navy, Etsy, Motherhood Maternity, and Target.

How much maternity clothes do I need?

You don't need to buy a bunch, but it does help to have some staples like maternity leggings and jeans. During my pregnancies, I have about 3 dresses, and 6 tops. Then, I had about 3 leggings and 3 jeans.

How maternity clothes work?

They are made to be more flattering for growing bumps. Usually this means they have extra material in areas where your bump will eventually grow and fill out.

Maternity pants have elastic panels that also help so that you can wear them as baby grows.

How can I look trendy during pregnancy?

Wear clothes made to flatter your bump. We like dresses especially because they offer lots of versatility.
