Staying Fashionable During Pregnancy

Congratulations! You have just found out you're pregnant and that is very exciting, until…until you go to put your jeans on and realize they just don't fit anymore. Time to find some maternity clothes to fit your changing body.

For women who are pregnant for the first time, it can take a few months before they notice their regular clothes don't fit but for women who are on their subsequent pregnancy, the changes in their bodies seem to happen much sooner. It used to be that women dreaded having to buy maternity clothes.

Maternity clothes meant unattractive and uncomfortable clothing, the huge, shapeless sacks, and lots of elastic waist tracksuit pants. There was not much of a selection and many women hated feeling as though they would have to dress in these types of clothes for the next few months.

In fact, some women would just buy clothing in a size bigger, thinking that would be better than wearing maternity clothes. The problem with that is all styles don't convert well as a woman's body grows and changes and when her body shrinks after delivery, these clothes generally won't fit correctly nor will they look stylish if she continues to wear them for the weeks after baby is born. The truth is, they will just look like the clothing is just too big.

The dilemma has been solved! These days there are a variety of not only stylish but also sexy maternity clothes. Stylish and sexy? Yes! Women should be able to feel stylish and sexy even when pregnant. A new era in maternity clothes is here!

These days you can find maternity clothes that will accentuate and show off all the great assets you have! Don't hide your curves! Find maternity clothes that will flatter your curves. Too much cleavage? Show off what you have, in a classy way! Let's face it; during pregnancy your breasts will grow, maybe even as much as a cup size or two! Invest in some good bras that give plenty of support and wear tops and dresses that accentuate and show off your neckline and cleavage.

When selecting your maternity wardrobe, remember to keep it simple, selecting the basics such as jeans, wrap dresses, classic long and short sleeve shirts and even one black dress for a special occasion! Despite what color may be in at the time, black is always a great choice! Remember, even with the basic maternity clothes, you can always dress them up with accessories, such as jewelry, shoes and a great bag or tote!

Maternity clothes are evolving and staying fashionable during pregnancy has never been easier - or more fun!
