How Should Pregnant Women Dress?

 The major thing to look for in maternity clothes is comfort so that your pregnancy doesn't pull you back from having a good time at work or at any other time. During the first weeks you have more freedom with your choice of clothing because the baby bump is still quite small and quite invisible- you actually just feel heavy but if you look in the mirror you are not any big. Before five months you can wear clothes that hug your body a bit and show off your curves while they last  as long as they are comfortable.
After five months you are more careful with your choice of maternity dresses. It is advisable to wear loose fitting clothes that are comfortable at the waist. Go also for maternity clothes made of light fabrics when it's hot to avoid discomfort and heat related illnesses during pregnancy.
When shopping for maternity pants, always check that the waist is comfortable. An elastic waist is more preferable.Try also to wear colors that have a slimming effect on your body if you are a plus size; black is a good option but you can also choose brighter colors.
When the baby lump is big enough and conspicuous, it is better to match loose pants with a hugging top or vice-versa to avoid overemphasizing on your tummy. Take advantage of your bigger and fuller bust and wear clothes that show it off- a cool bust and a baby lump look wonderful together. Don't be afraid of showing off a bit.
Pregnant women should also consider fashion, trends and style besides the other factors named above when choosing clothes. You are free to wear fancy dresses that flatter your body or go for long flowing gowns which are sexy and at the same time descent. Most designers have a great collection for expectant mothers to choose from and sometimes if you are lucky enough you can enjoy good offers and discounts.
Other than dresses and pants, you can also invest in scarfs, leggings and accessories so to hide any discoloring or black spots around the neck or sore feet. Feel free to use as much make up as you require to get the look you desire because you need to feel good before you can look great.
