Choosing maternity clothes

Being pregnant should be the happiest time in your life... But with the growing life inside of you comes the inevitable weight gain and body shape changes. In the early months you can easily get away with buying a slightly larger size (if you are normally a 10 then a 12 should do for the first few months).

When bump becomes more noticeable its time to look into maternity clothing as wearing 2 sizes larger will not look good – and we all want to look our best when pregnant. Specialised maternity clothing will cater for your growing bump in style.

Use our buying guide below to have the best of both worlds… Fashionable and pregnant.

Tops

Finding a style of top to compliment your bump needed be difficult. Ensure you stay fashionable with our large range of tops in all styles for all shapes. Choose from shirts or blouses, or tunics, camisoles or wraps.

For those colder evenings add a fashionable knitwear jumper or cardigan over the top.

Of course you could just add a belly band to your existing tops for a while to wrap around the bump.

Maternity lingerie and Nightwear from know MY size

Lingerie and Nightwear

Why stop wearing sexy underwear just because you now have a bump? Most partners find the changes happening to your body exciting and you will probably find that they find you even more irresistable than before. Ok, so in the last few months babydolls and basques are probably out but a nice bra and (under bump) thong will get his pulse racing. Maternity bras are also used during pregnancy when breasts are growing and more sensitive and nursing bras to support and provide access for breastfeeding.
