A pregnant woman is a beauty to behold. Think of the life she is carrying in her, from some fusion a living being is created and for up to 38 weeks, he or she grows inside her mother’s womb. This make a woman a very special creation, don’t you think.
During pregnancy though, a woman may not feel as special. Due to all the changes she is going through, it is at times difficult to remember, the miracle she is carrying. Since she is busy going through so may emotional and hormonal changes, so often, and the miracle becomes more like work than a joy.
My advice though, don’t forget to breathe once in a while, it is a beautiful journey you are undertaking. The first three months in pregnancy have a way of taking a toll on you but take heart; it gets better as the pregnancy period progresses.
The beauty of the first three months though, you do not have to make any major changes to your wardrobe. Your belly is still small, you may not even be showing yet, and so your regular clothes should be fitting just right.
Do not take comfort this though, things will change as your baby continues to develop and your belly enlarges. So start planning to acquire some maternity dresses to accommodate your soon to be big body.
A word of caution, a few outfits every month and as needed. There are pregnant women, whose physic does not change much during the first six months. Let your body or your belly dictate the shopping you have to do.
Women are born with a natural instinct to look beautiful all the time. During pregnancy the challenge becomes how to dress comfortably and tastefully. I must admit though, it is harder for the large sized pregnant women to find trendy maternity wear than the slimmer sisters.
If you had a small body size lets say a size 8, before becoming pregnant, it follows that you may have to invest in clothes a size or two bigger during pregnancy. This will translate to you wearing a size 10 to 12, visa via a woman size 18 or 20, who will have to now wear size 22 to 24. Bigger sizes that are stylish and trendy are such a pain to find, so this will definitely cause some challenges depending on your body size.
All in all, very woman is created beautifully and I am sure we can be stylish, regardless of our body size.
The key and most important point to remember when buying maternity wear is comfort. It may not matter much that you look trend and stylish, if the outfit makes you uncomfortable.
So shop sensibly and remember, you will only wear those clothes for just about six months, so don’t over do it. Save your money and shop for the baby instead.
