My 5 Must-Have Maternity Clothes

October 2, 2019 By The Middle Edit

When I first found out that I was pregnant I thought I could just wear the clothes I have. Wrong! Around 20 weeks, I finally caved and had to pick up some maternity clothes that I knew I’d wear a lot. I didn’t want to spend a bunch of money on maternity clothes because I knew it was just going to be for a few short months. I also needed maternity clothes that could transition from fall to summer. I’ve bought some great stuff and some not so great stuff.

Here are the pieces that I absolutely have loved and have worn a ton of. Trust me, you’ll get your money out of these basic must-have items!

5 Must-Have Maternity Clothes

Jeans

I’ve tried a lot of different brands and styles of jeans but none fit like the Jessica Simpson jeans. All of the other brands I’ve tried have a sagging front/pelvic area. The Jessica Simpson brand fits perfect all the way around. I’m usually a size 8 so a size medium in this brand fit perfectly. I’ve grown into them from 20 weeks to now 36 weeks without the need to go up in size. If you’re 5’2″ like me, I always go for the petite length too.

T-Shirts

I never knew how much I loved t-shirts until my pregnant belly started to show. I love these t-shirts because they don’t have the ruched side. They’ve fit my belly perfectly throughout the whole pregnancy, have washed good and are only $12.99! A size medium have fit great but I could probably invest in a couple larges now that I’m in my last month.

Nightgowns

I’ve talked about nightgowns countless times but I seriously love them so much! I can’t sleep with anything on my stomach now that it’s much bigger so these have been a lifesaver. Plus I can wear them after pregnancy and they are nursing friendly too. These nightgowns from Target are seriously the softest, perfect material.

Leggings

I wear leggings pregnant or not because they are so comfy. Finding a few pairs that were different and not too expensive was super important. I like the Motherhood Maternity brand leggings because of 1.) the price & 2.) the material isn’t too hot or too see-thru. I bought the normal leggings, the ruched leggings and the cropped leggings (for the summertime).

Ruched Dresses

I’m not a fan of super tight dresses when I’m not pregnant so I had no idea how much I’d love them pregnant. Anything flowy over the bump looks very unflattering. The only dresses I’ve found that look cute over the baby bump are ruched, tight dresses. This dress is one of my favorites and it transitions perfectly from summer to fall. Throw on a blazer or cardigan, boots and it’s the perfect fall outfit.

🖤
On Halloween, Matt & I welcomed this sweet boy into the world. The past few weeks have been filled with so many great, life changing events but he’s by far the best! Our labor & birth wasn’t the easiest, juggling a brand new restaurant & a brand new baby hasn’t been the easiest but it really is so, so worth it. Thank you for making us your Mom & Dad- we love you!
Instagram post 2159768816777724237_6871256054 Yesterday I shared my Sunday to-do list. It consists of a few things that I help me to feel better prepared when Monday morning rolls around. However, even sticking pretty closely with that list, the Sunday Scaries hit me last night.
•
When I woke up this morning, I knew I needed to take my morning a little slower and do a few things to help calm my mind and put me in a better headspace for the day.  Those things I did: •Take my workout a bit slower than normal
•Not rush on my drive home from the gym (this is usually the time I start to feel the pressures of the day)
•Completed the AM portion in my 5 Minute Journal
•Kept my mind as silent as possible in the shower
•Put on an outfit that I knew I'd feel confident in - wide leg pants, black top, heels
•
What did you do this morning to set yourself up for a good Monday?

What’s on your to-do list today?

Investing in our wardrobes can sometimes feel a little materialistic, but as our contributor, @_gina.gales points out in that quote, we deserve to be 100% satisfied with how we look and feel in our clothes...which might mean spending a little more at times.
•
Gina has always had a perfectly honed in sense of style that I admired, so I asked her to share with us what she believed were Investment-Worthy pieces for fall. She is breaking that list down on The Middle Edit today - LINK IN BIO - as well as sharing some tips on how to identify what your investment worthy staples are...some of her tips include:
•
•Know the difference between what you love on others vs. what you love on yourself
•Consider your lifestyle needs
•Make sure you love how you FEEL when you put something on, not just how you look
Instagram post 2156144164910137749_6871256054 Hi. This is me being incredibly awkward, with a shaking voice and shaking hands trying to explain to a group of amazing women what I learned over this past year.
•
@catiemenke invited me to speak, along with an inspiring group of women (swipe), at her one year Brunch anniversary this past Saturday. She asked what was one thing we learned over this past year and my answer was not to let fear stop/control you. In a way, I was living that lesson on Saturday, public speaking is SCARY!
•
As part of our latest TMExBrunch episode featuring @jackieparkspilates, Catie and I are teaming up to giveaway one lucky winner a package of 5 classes to @theworkshoppilates opening up in Scottsdale this year. All you have to do to enter is tell us, in our stories, what one thing is that you learned this year. Winner will be announced Friday!
•
And if you aren't an AZ local, I'd still love to know in the comments below what you learned this past year!
