Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Maternity Outfits You Can Wear Before, During, and After Pregnancy

Maternity outfits that you can wear before, during and after your pregnancy

I don’t know why, but maternity fashion is always overwhelming for most pregnant women.  I think that we tell ourselves that we are supposed to dress in a different way because we are pregnant and our bodies are growing.  We tell ourselves that we need to buy “maternity clothes”.  The truth is, when it comes to your maternity fashion, nothing needs to change.  You can wear the same outfits that you always wore before you were pregnant, and you can continue to wear those outfits long after your pregnancy.  All you need to do is invest in a few maternity pieces here and there (read more on what maternity clothes to buy HERE) to help fit over your growing belly, but overall, you should be able to get by with buying the bare minimum amount of maternity clothes. 

Here are some examples of 8 different maternity outfits that I wore during my pregnancy last winter, that I’m still wearing post-baby this winter.
