When to wear maternity clothes?
During the first 3 months of pregnancy, your body shape does not change much. The belly becomes slightly rounder, but it does not require any particular clothing adaptation: your usual clothes will often be sufficient.
However, the breasts are already beginning to change. Buying a maternity bra soon becomes essential. Choose models with wide straps without underwiring that support your breasts without compressing them. In order not to make a mistake when choosing a size, don't hesitate to choose a cup size larger: the aim is, above all, to feel perfectly comfortable
What clothes to choose for the second trimester?
Second trimester! That's it, your belly is getting rounder and your shape is blossoming! It's time to add some maternity clothes to your wardrobe.
To choose them well, make sure that they do not tighten your belly: if you feel the slightest discomfort, do not hesitate to select a size above.
For the third trimester, opt for ultra-comfortable maternity clothes
It is during the third trimester that the small inconveniences of pregnancy will be felt the most. It is therefore essential to choose maternity clothes in which you feel perfectly comfortable.
To relieve heavy legs, avoid tight trousers and shorts as much as possible. When it comes to fabrics, opt for comfortable textiles that let the skin breathe and do not cut off circulation: cotton, cashmere, natural fibres, linen, wool or even silk...
