Why should I buy maternity
clothing? Well, maternity clothing is made to fit a pregnant belly
through a 23-35 pound weight gain. It is
designed to fit correctly through the shoulders, ribs, hips, thighs all of the
places that don't grow (well too much hopefully) but give you
plenty of room for the belly to grow. Maternity clothing is designed to be
longer to fit over the tummy for a full 9 month growth and it is
designed to accent your tummy so you will look pregnant and not, um, bigger. Regular
fit baby doll tops and tunics look like a great
alternative but they just don't have the coverage or room needed for that baby's
belly. The regular fit top will work for a few months and then
it won't, buying an item that looks amazing from beginning to end is a much better use
of a clothing budget than bits and pieces of things
that you grow out of way too quickly. When you're shopping for maternity
clothing, think of women you've seen who are wearing regular clothing,
does it look like it fits, does it look appropriate, would you where that
outfit? The answers to those questions will help you in your search.
What size should I buy? Maternity clothing is typically
designed for a 25 to 30 pound weight gain, so generally you should
buy
your pre-pregnancy size. With that said keep in mind that if you have a
quick weight gain in the beginning your pregnancy then your size has probably
changed. We recommend you read each description carefully, if special
sizing consideration is warranted it will be stated..
When should I buy? Purchasing maternity clothes
can be a tricky prospect sometimes. You don't want to buy too
early
but you also don't want to wait too long and not get enough wear out
of your wardrobe. The great thing about the new styles
that have been designed is they fit great early in the
pregnancy and really have a lot of stretch and room for growth,
especially
the bottoms. Low rise jeans and pants are a godsend. Oh
yeah, back to the point, start out slowly, when you get
uncomfortable, get your staples: a good pair of jeans, black and/or khaki pants,
and a few tops to mix and match. Then as you as you progress you can gauge your body changes a little better and shop
accordingly. Try not to wait too long, if your pants are fitting tight your
just increasing your discomfort from morning sickness and bloating.
By getting a great pair of jeans, you'll breathe better, feel
and look better.

When do I buy my nursing bra? If the only intent for
the bra is nursing then wait until 36 weeks to be measured and
purchase
at least one, three is recommended (one on, one in the wash, and
one in the drawer). At this point your rib has generally
reached
its maximum circumference and breast growth has slowed if not
stopped. You will add about a full cup size when your milk
comes in
and your rib cage has probably changed 2 to 4 inches since before
pregnancy so it is very important to be measured. No guessing.
If however you are needing a bra because you have grown out of all of
your pre-pregnancy bras, the Bravado Bra is for you. It will
allow 2 cup sizes and 3 rib sizes of growth. Many women can wear the
second half of pregnancy right into nursing.
Email
or call if you have any
questions on the Bravado Bra.
