Overview
Pregnancy is an exciting time, especially when your belly starts to grow. While it’s fun to see your belly expanding from the baby growing inside you, a pregnant belly can sometimes present some fashion challenges. Some moms can continue to wear their regular clothes during much of their pregnancy, while others need an entirely new wardrobe to accommodate their changing shape. One versatile option for maternity clothes is the long-sleeve top.
The most important aspect of buying maternity clothing is getting the right size. In some cases, the size you were wearing pre-pregnancy will be the size you are in maternity wear. For example, if you normally buy shirts in size large, your maternity clothing size will also be large. However, in some cases, you may measure differently during your pregnancy. In order to get the size of your long-sleeve maternity top right, be sure to take your measurements and compare them with the sizing chart of the brand.
Shopping seasonally when you’re pregnant is also important. For example, if you will be in your second or third trimester during the fall or winter, then you may want to purchase a number of long-sleeve tops and sweaters. However, if your belly will be at its biggest in the summer, you may not need as many long-sleeve shirts.
Buying Advice
- Not sure when you should start wearing maternity clothes during your pregnancy? Usually, most women need to wear maternity clothes, especially pants, toward the end of their first trimester. If your pre-pregnancy clothes feel uncomfortable or tight, then it’s time to move into maternity clothing. For shirts, you may notice the bust feeling tight in your regular shirts and your belly beginning to peek out from underneath the hem in regular shirts.
- If you plan on nursing your baby, you may want to look for maternity long-sleeve shirts that can also be worn while breastfeeding. Check to see whether the tops have any hidden zippers, flaps or openings that enable you to comfortably nurse your baby while wearing the shirt.
- Maternity long-sleeve shirts should have a four-way stretch in the material so that the shirt can fit your body as it grows during your pregnancy. Many maternity clothes include ruching — extra fabric gathered in certain parts of the garments — which allows the shirts to stretch a little further instead of feeling tight on your body.
- One of the problems with some maternity clothes is that the fabric can appear sheer when stretched. Make sure the fabric is thick and tightly woven so you won’t end up with this issue.
