My Bump Warm Machine Washable Maternity Sweater

During the stage of pregnancy when your body starts changing and your belly starts growing, it feels incredibly exciting. You’re able to actually see the physical changes and understand how your baby is growing inside you. However, it can also bring about some fashion challenges. After all, your growing baby bump is unlikely to fit inside your regular clothes for very long. That’s why it’s a good idea to look into maternity sweaters and other clothes to dress your changing body.

Selecting the right size of clothes can be confusing. In some cases, your pre-pregnancy size will be your maternity size. For example, if you usually buy medium clothes, then you will also need medium maternity sweaters. However, in some cases, you may size larger or smaller than your pre-pregnancy size, depending on the clothing brand. Be sure to take measurements and compare them with the sizing chart.

Also consider which season your belly will be its largest and buy the appropriate maternity clothes. For example, if your due date is in the winter months, this means that you will have a full bump when it’s cold out. This means you will need maternity sweaters and a maternity coat. If your due date is in the summer, you will need maternity t-shirts and tank tops.

• How do you know when is the right time to start wearing maternity clothes? For most women, it’s towards the end of your first trimester or the beginning of your second trimester. If your pre-pregnancy clothes start to feel tight or uncomfortable, then it’s time to bring out the maternity wear.
• When buying maternity clothes, consider whether the clothes can also be worn after pregnancy while you are nursing. This is especially important in maternity sweaters, shirts, tank tops and bras. Check to see whether they have features that enable breastfeeding so you can continue to wear them after the nine months are over.
• Always look for maternity sweaters that have a bit of stretch. Opt for a four-way stretch so that the clothes will grow with you as your body changes. Some of the best maternity sweater styles include ruching. This way, the sweater has a bit of extra stretch so it will not feel tight on your body.
• Make sure that the maternity sweater and other items do not become sheer when stretched. Depending on the fabric, this can be a problem in some maternity wear.
