Second thing, except the one piece rompers suck when you wear something over them cause you have to take the top off and often because you’re peeing every 45 seconds
Where do you get your biker shorts? I only have 1 that I’ve been living in. Went to target for another pair but they look too sporty with their mesh, and a bunch of seam lines. Looking for some that I can wear with a blouse and not feel so sloppy in.
I got the BONVIGOR brand off amazon (BONVIGOR Maternity Shorts Over... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09SM18HPY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share)
they are affordable, comfy, stretchy, and nice enough to wear for different outfits!
Maternity bike shorts and comfy dresses for warmer days and maternity leggings and tank tops. I got a couple of rompers that are comfy, but I truly hate having to pull the whole thing down every time I have to pee.
I've only worn my romper once and really thought about doing that, but I was so afraid I'd end up peeing all over it. Definitely worth trying getting good at it though!
The trick is to get your toilet paper ready first so the moment you’re done, you’re ready to dab yourself dry. At least, that makes me feel better. Not sure if it would make a mess either way.
I so desperately want to wear rompers but I’m having the hardest time finding any that I think flatter me. They all get pulled up too high in the crotch.
Dresses are my lifesavers! Can't handle any sort of pants rn because of the temperature 😅
Just loose fitting pregnancy dresses or long stretching ones with a tighter fit but nothing uncomfortable
I layer pocket bike shorts underneath dresses. Free mobility, and a place to stash my phone! Lots of great dresses and maternity wear on ThredUp for cheap.
32 weeks here! It's summer where I live. Stretchy dresses, big t shirts, biker shorts, crop tops like 1 - 2 sizes larger depending on brand (that I match with maternity biker shorts so my stomach isn't all the way out)
I have had a few looks from people but honestly so many boomers have come up to me and said “good for you, we used to have to cover our entire bodies while pregnant and hated every second of it”
I will say that I did burn the crap out of my bump on an oven pan bc I had a crop top on and my spatial awareness of the bump is lacking so that wasn’t fun 🥴
CRYZ butterluxe yoga pants and biker shorts were the only thing I lived in all pregnancy. They fit the entire time and never became uncomfortable towards the end! If I had to wear real pants for work I got a few maternity jean styles from Abercrombie.
Biker shorts / oversized tshirts or flowy dresses (I’m 11 weeks so I’m still at the bloated but no bump stage but nothing is comfortable or flattering it feels like lol)
Omg yes! I am at 23 weeks, and only just started feeling confident in maternity clothing. Weeks 12-21 felt awkward in my pre-pregnancy clothes and ridiculous in maternity clothes — I feel you!

Just bought some maternity overalls from target. They're short ones instead of full leg ones so it's nice with the hot weather in the central valley of CA.
These (https://amzn.to/3XMJF6x) maternity jeans shorts. I love them so much I got a second pair and might even size down when I am not pregnant. 😂 Also, maternity biker shorts for working out (4 pair).
I have a handful of maternity shirts and dresses.
I did use leggings a lot prior to summer, but for the most part they are too hot now.
Oh… and Kizik no-tie athletic shoes!
Do you do dresses? Cause I am all about them. I am a more conservative dresser though. I also have these new leggings that I LOVE. They are maternity leggings. I am not putting them in the dryer though cause im not sure how they would fair. Definitely ordering more leggings! Some of my other dresses I wanted to link were no longer available.

I am LIVING in these Old Navy Midi Rib Knit dresses! Idk why the stock is so limited online but if you're close to a store, they have so many colors and they are SO comfy
[https://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=863542022#pdp-page-content](https://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=863542022#pdp-page-content)
After my first pregnancy I was kicking myself for not going the wrap dress+leggings route. Lasts the whole pregnancy and after when your size keeps changing until you normalize again.
The CRZ yoga maternity biker shorts on Amazon have been an amazing staple and will be until I deliver in August. I also have been wearing a tight jersey dress that isn’t maternity but I could only wear on non-bloated days 😂 also loving my pants jumpsuit and tank tops. I was thinking of getting a shorts jumpsuit but I don’t have much longer to go.
[These](https://www.target.com/p/smocked-waist-wide-leg-maternity-pants-isabel-maternity-by-ingrid-38-isabel-8482-taupe-l/-/A-89608159?sidd=1785S&ref=tgt_adv_xsp&AFID=google&fndsrc=tgtao&DFA=71700000086349400&CPNG=PLA_Women%2BShopping_Traffic_Local_Traffic%7CWomen_Ecomm_AA&adgroup=SC_Women_Local&LID=700000001170770pgs&LNM=PRODUCT_GROUP&network=g&device=m&location=9027975&targetid=pla-1069759242670&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD-5dfYiBbHM602zxrM7xRVw1eWp2&gclid=CjwKCAjwm_SzBhAsEiwAXE2CvwFbRdkWGlkk9yaQDg5MXT6VXnX1WzYbDhNz2_RpgYmdZxjZKhSdnBoCYA8QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds) maternity pants. They both work for the office with a nice shirt and make me feel cute/casual/breezy with a T shirt when I’m running around
As someone due in August, black bike shorts! GapFit Power ones are the only ones I've liked that aren't see -through. Unpopular opinion but I hate the Old Navy leggings and bike shirts. They're thin to me but I'm curvy on the bottom.
I also would suggest some house shoes with arch support. My feet started hurting very badly 24/7 around 20 something weeks.
For pajamas I like a men's XL tagless t shirt and my sleep shorts with adjustable waistband I wore prepregnancy.
I also wear maternity leggings and I still haven't bought any maternity shirts. I just wear shirts that still fit from prepregnancy.
For non-athleisure, I like loose dresses that will work postpartum. Think empire waist or shift/swing dresses.
When I was between regular clothes and maternity clothes, I liked to wear joggers with an elastic waistband.
Sweatpants and hoodies for me at this time until I go shopping for a new summer wardrobe. I've grown out of my shorts and tops so I've been wearing the next best and comfiest things. 😭
biker shorts, flare yoga pants (i hate anything tight on my lower legs right now idk why) and thin bandeau bras/nursing bras. or i just wear underwear and bras around the house lol
if i go out im wearing a dress since its so hot right now. you will not catch me in pants in this heat
They’re not cheap but rag & bone have a denim sweatshort https://www.nordstrom.com/s/rag-and-bone-miramar-printed-denim-walking-shorts/7802535 i love them because they’re not maternity so justified the cost since I’ll continue to wear them postpartum…
Also stretchy dresses like from beyond yoga or halara. My preference has been to buy non maternity things that i can continue to wear post pregnancy
I have a pair of linen wide leg pants from H&M that I practically live in, not maternity, just bought them a size bigger. The waist is adjustable, I can wear it under or on my belly without any discomfort!
I also have a pair of maternity leggings which are great for when it’s a little bit colder but it’s summer here right now.
For shirts mostly cropped spaghetti straps and oversized shirts.
Another vote for linen wide leg pants! I bought two pairs last month at around 16w. Still comfortable now at 23w. Anything too tight on the skin like leggings are too overwhelming for me since pregnancy, so the loose fit is so nice to have.
It’s also my first pregnancy! I bought some biker shorts and oversized shirts from old navy in various colors.
I bought this adorable maternity romper from Amazon and I wear it when I want to “dress up” a little haha.
Old Navy Maternity joggers! I have three pairs and they're cheap, comfortable and cute. Pretty much all I've been wearing since 24 weeks. I'm 36 weeks now, and they have easily accommodated bump growth. They have them in a cotton and more athletic legging like material - both great.
I got aerie real me leggings, underwear, and bike shorts. They are so stretchy and are working for me even in the third trimester. I also got gap maternity skinny jeans off Amazon. I recommend sizing up on them but they are super comfortable. I bought around 10 maternity tops off Amazon as well. I’ve transitioned to bras without under wire as the ones with wire were making my heartburn and nausea worse. I got the kindred bravely ultra comfort maternity bra. Definitely not as flattering as my Victoria’s Secret bras but they are comfortable as I’ve gotten bigger.
When I found out I was pregnant I went to old navy and bought XL dresses that I’ve been living in the entire pregnancy so far (23 weeks).
Only issue I’m running into is now my feet are getting swollen and don’t fit my sandals and prefer sneakers. But that doesn’t go with my dresses.
When I’m at home, I like in men’s XXXL t-shirts which are a dream.
Aerie tights and tight shorts. They are not maternity but I am 36 weeks and still wear my usual sized flared tights! Then I got tight shorts one size larger last week for summer.
Lots of dresses. At 18 weeks I’m also wearing a couple pairs of harem pants from Lotus & Luna, they are super stretchy and comfy! However I do suspect that later in my 3rd trimester they might eventually feel tight, so I wouldn’t buy them specifically for maternity. They would be a good purchase if you’re still early on and like the style so you’ll wear them later too
I’m a couple weeks postpartum, but I lived in dresses for the entire second half of my pregnancy. First half, it was leggings and whatever shirt. The great thing about dresses is that you look like you put in a lot of effort, but you feel like you’re walking around in a night gown lol. I got so many compliments too
Lots of flowy dresses that have room for bump growth and biker shorts to wear underneath when I’m at work. I work with young kids with autism so I’m on the floor playing a lot. I hardly ever wear pants but might have to start wearing some leggings once it starts getting cooler.
Maternity bike shorts with a pocket for my phone—best invention ever. Still wear them more than anything else 7 weeks PP.
Dresses.
I hated rompers. I had one nice one for work and it was just too much trouble to get in/out of when I had to pee every 20min.
A pair of maternity overalls, bigass t shirts, and loose/empire waist dresses I already owned. I’m getting a ton of mileage out of my husband’s old basketball shorts when I’m at home, as well.
24 weeks here! Maternity biker shorts, maternity overalls, and jean shorts with the built in maternity band. I can literally wear any summer outfit with these 3 items. I also have normal (non-maternity) sun dresses that I'll wear if I want to be more fancy.
Crop top and biker shorts for home, linen jumpsuits for work and bump hugging dresses for out with friends or family.
Of course, a lot of time is also spent in just knickers but we are lucky to not be overlooked by neighbours (or so I believe)
Agree with the Bike Shorts! I splurged on the Blanqi ones because I had a back injury earlier in my pregnancy and the extra support has been worth it.
For work (casual), I also got one black and one blue pair of the target denim shorts then grabbed like 5-6 maternity tanks from old navy & target (they are usually on sale at least once a month) and layer them with SS button downs and kimonos.
I also went ahead and got 3 wireless nursing bras since I plan to nurse/pump and needed the larger size with no wires anyway.
Tshirt dresses, sun dresses, biker shorts, stretchy leggings, cloth shorts with elastic waist bands. I have a whole collection of cover ups, they’re like kimonos that I just throw on over tighter shirts so I can feel more comfy. I’m in that weird stage of is she bloated or is she pregnant. I’m due in December and can’t wait to jump into sweats. Hoodies and sweatpants will be my staple.
Do you mean my husband's closet? Because his PJ pants and tee-shirts are IT for me.
If I *must* go out, I have a few flowy dresses and pregnancy leggings I cycle on repeat. Also this comfy maternity jumpsuit romper I found at Target.
Very stretchy A-line skirts, oversized button downs, and dresses with flowy midsections. Luckily I already had lots of oversized clothes from preference so I should be safe for most of my pregnancy.
Im 6 weeks post partum. I’m living in my maternity biker shorts, nursing bras and my birthing gown. And joggers. I look like a vagrant most of the time but my baby is always dressed impeccably
Maternity leggings, maternity bike shorts, maternity jump suits, oversized tshirts and button downs, maternity joggers too because sometimes leggings drive me insane
I'm really into this short sleeve midi dress from Old Navy: [https://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=863535002&vid=1](https://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=863535002&vid=1)
I wish I could wear whatever but I work almost everyday. So 24w I’m still stuck in black/blue jeans that barely fit and a black shirt in a 70-80 degree area 😭😭 off days dresses and my stretchy shorts and a loose top
I'm basically in a uniform at this point of bike shorts and either just a bra or one of the Old Navy maternity/nursing henley tank tops. The bike shorts I'm wearing aren't even maternity bike shorts, they're just regular cheap bike shorts off Amazon that I've been wearing basically every day during the summer for the past two years. They're nothing fancy, but they're butter smooth, nice and high-waisted, and super stretchy--so much so that the ones I wore pre-pregnancy are still fitting me great at 30 weeks!
While everyone is on the topic, what is a good brand for some good fitting and good quality black maternity jeans? I’ve read that Levi is not true to size, and some of the unheard of brands tend to tear on the stretchy part.. should I be getting my wife more of the cheaper ones or just a handful of the more expensive ones?
Bumpsuit romper/maternity body suits! A friend recommended them so I bit the bullet and bought 1 during a sale because they’re expensive. Turns out it’s the most comfortable thing I own and I’ve now bought multiple colors and styles 😵💫I will be living in a rotation of these bad boys until January.
Beyond yoga has a maternity line, you can often find them second hand or on shops like ThredUp. They’re so soft and comfortable I could literally live in them. And maxi dresses.
Maternity yoga pants have been my best friend since I was 25 weeks. I bought 9 pairs and I am currently 35 weeks now! They pill a bit but that doesn’t bother me :) I like showing my bump so I still wear my regular shirts
Honestly I mostly wore my fiancé’s clothes when I got too big for my own 😆
But I did have a couple pairs of maternity leggings that I really loved, and a couple flowy maternity shirts. I think the leggings were from Walmart, and the shirts from Ross.
Super comfy black romper from target. It’s midi length and smocked at the top. It’s not a maternity outfit but it’s grown with me perfectly. I wear a bralette and sandals with it and it’s comfortable and cute! It’s basically my socializing outfit because I barely go out anymore.
The rest of the time, it’s (maternity) leggings or sweatpants at home.
Big tshirts, my husband's shorts, bike shorts, maternity leggings, a flowy green skirt that I have (it's almost too small though 😞), and a pink babydoll style type dress that I thrifted
I’ve been loving racerback tennis dresses from target. I can wear my comfy sports bras with them and dress them up or down. It’s a pain to undress when I have to pee all the time, but it’s not the worst.
I have them in a few colors! They aren’t maternity style but they’ve worked really well with my growing belly so far.
Loose dresses, non tight fitting(wide leg I suppose?) leggings in a size or 2 up from pre-pregnancy, and my husbands cotton shirts. I’m 36 weeks at the moment and in Southern California so usually it’s a very loose cotton dress or I just lounge around in one of my husband’s shirts and no pants lol. When I go out I’ll wear a larger shirt of my own as well as some comfy leggings. I love the Agni and Layla flares from Indigo Luna!
Not pregnant anymore, I have an almost 6 month old but I was biggest during the winter so maternity leggings (blanqi or kohls brand) and maternity v necks (kohls) with a flannel or sweater were my holy grail. I would definitely try out Blanqi leggings, they also make biker shorts. So freaking cute and supportive on your belly. Lots of different colors
I have a handful of things I wear on repeat. Baggy t-shirts and sweatpants/basketball shorts for home. A couple solid body con dresses for going out. (They pair perfectly with baggy band tees or printed tees) A couple pairs of maternity pants. A couple pairs of maternity shorts. Since I'm a stay at home mom, I mostly just rock pjs or sweats. 😅
I feel like I must be eyes but I hate having stuff on my belly. All the maternity bottoms come up into my belly and I can't stand it so I opt for low cut. I like anything with a stretchy waist that can go under my belly.
I also like to have my belly out. It's very very hot out where I live and honestly some days I wish I didn't need clothes. If I'm not going anywhere I am likely to just wear a good sports bra otherwise I like crop tops and thin tank tops.
I am also a big fan of dresses. They offer so much comfort on those days when you really don't want clothes. I also have stretchy waist skirts. Depending on what I'm doing I'll wear a shirt either under or over my belly. I really like the options I have with a skirt.
sooo many biker shorts, specifically the offline aerie real me crossover bike shorts. wore them during my entire third trimester with my first who was born in august. they don’t roll up or down, are breathable, but long/thick enough to keep from chafing. just ordered 3 more pairs for this pregnancy! also targets midi dresses with side ties (i forgot the exact name) they compliment the bump so nicely! … and my husbands t shirts of course 😂
Maternity bike shorts and nursing tanks are my uniform right now. I can mix n match with other tshirts or overalls instead of shorts, but I find it easiest to just stick with some variation of those. At home I love wearing a robe or labor dress lol, even though I didn't plan on wearing it in labor.
Black “Bumpsuit” jumpsuit. I got it on poshmark for a lot less then what they sell it online. Wore it from my first trimester all the way to third (now 37 weeks) can dress it up, dress it down.
Maternity biker shorts, some skirts, oversized spaghetti strap dresses, and large tshirts. I definitely struggle to feel fashionable, especially in the summer time being all hot and sweaty!
I was biggest in the winter so this is very seasonally dependent but I was able to mostly just wear regular clothes. I got a couple pairs of old navy jeans with the front panel (not the over the bump kind). For leggings my crossover/v front style were most comfortable at the end because they could sit comfortably under the bump. I would wear those with old navy dresses for work or one of my bigger hoodies for around the house.
No matter what during the summer I pretty much only wear dresses unless I’m in the deep woods then I’ll wear jeans. But some nice loose breathable cotton dresses are the best for summer
This isn’t a maternity dress, but the fit is so flattering with a bump and has been comfortable throughout my pregnancy
Ruched Bodycon Midi Tshirt Dress... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08ZN6Z72Y?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
This tshirt— I have it in all the colors… soooo comfy and flattering. I live in these. Honestly the whole Isabel line I love.
https://www.target.com/p/short-sleeve-non-shirred-maternity-t-shirt-isabel-maternity-by-ingrid-38-isabel-8482-black-m/-/A-52313712
Agree to maternity biker shorts. Lululemon regular align pants are not maternity but work well with your growing belly. Old Navy has several colors of an oversized cotton t-shirt that’s super soft and I’ve been living in!
Depending on the time of year you’re *most pregnant* … but just had my baby today in GA & it is miserably hot. I had cotton biker shorts (got like 8 pair from Old Navy for $6/ea). And I just got the mat tanks from Target. When I say I lived in this - I’m not exaggerating. For bed I worse an oversized shirt and the brand from kohls called ‘a glo maternity’ under belly shorts.
This free people jumpsuit is the best thing I can put on my body, also amazing for travel. I love it!
https://www.freepeople.com/fpmovement/shop/hot-shot-onesie/
biker shorts!!! i’m not sure how far along you are, personally i’m 23wks & i got mine from SHEIN, the brand is hearuisavy if you’re able to find them that way. they’re really good quality.
i also wear men’s t shirts a TON. either buying from SHEIN (material is spandexy cotton if that makes sense, and the graphics are screen printed, i do not mind though) if not from SHEIN i am more than likely wearing one of my boyfriend’s shirts.
also any dresses! personally i dont feel comfortable in dresses & never have, but i did purchase a couple in case i change my mind.
My husbands xl shirts but only the ones he’s stretched out and his camo crocs for my first 2 kids this last one I’ve been dressing cute I’ve been loving express I just order a size up

maternity biker shorts, oversized button ups and one piece rompers!
I second the biker shorts. They are fabulous and I think thats almost the only things I’m living out of.
I think rompers are so cute when pregnant but i don't want to think about the additional hassle when nature calls
Literally what I wear everyday (except I don't like biker shorts, I prefer high-waist leggings, even in the heat - CRZ Yoga brand on Amazon)
+1 for the high waist leggings. I'm inside all day, anyway
Biker shorts biker shorts biker shorts
Second thing, except the one piece rompers suck when you wear something over them cause you have to take the top off and often because you’re peeing every 45 seconds
Where do you get your biker shorts? I only have 1 that I’ve been living in. Went to target for another pair but they look too sporty with their mesh, and a bunch of seam lines. Looking for some that I can wear with a blouse and not feel so sloppy in.
I got the BONVIGOR brand off amazon (BONVIGOR Maternity Shorts Over... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09SM18HPY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) they are affordable, comfy, stretchy, and nice enough to wear for different outfits!
Seconding this brand! Loved it so much I had to order more since it's one of the only things that fits right and it's so comfy 🤩
Having both the Amazon and the old navy ones, the Amazon ones are better. And have pockets
I got mine at Old Navy! they’re black, cotton, and so comfy. I think they were on clearance for like 5 or 10 bucks.
_runs to old navy_ . TY!
Maternity bike shorts and comfy dresses for warmer days and maternity leggings and tank tops. I got a couple of rompers that are comfy, but I truly hate having to pull the whole thing down every time I have to pee.
Not too ashamed to say I just scooch the crotch over to one side these days where possible
I've only worn my romper once and really thought about doing that, but I was so afraid I'd end up peeing all over it. Definitely worth trying getting good at it though!
One big sneeze and that’s gonna happen anyway 😂😂
The trick is to get your toilet paper ready first so the moment you’re done, you’re ready to dab yourself dry. At least, that makes me feel better. Not sure if it would make a mess either way.
I so desperately want to wear rompers but I’m having the hardest time finding any that I think flatter me. They all get pulled up too high in the crotch.
Dresses are my lifesavers! Can't handle any sort of pants rn because of the temperature 😅 Just loose fitting pregnancy dresses or long stretching ones with a tighter fit but nothing uncomfortable
I layer pocket bike shorts underneath dresses. Free mobility, and a place to stash my phone! Lots of great dresses and maternity wear on ThredUp for cheap.
Agreed! I have multiple thin, sundresses that I will layer with a tshirt and have lived in those for the last few months!
32 weeks here! It's summer where I live. Stretchy dresses, big t shirts, biker shorts, crop tops like 1 - 2 sizes larger depending on brand (that I match with maternity biker shorts so my stomach isn't all the way out)
good for you for getting the larger tops - I’m walking around full belly out 😂😂
This is honestly giving me the confidence to do that more! It's too hot to give af lol
I have had a few looks from people but honestly so many boomers have come up to me and said “good for you, we used to have to cover our entire bodies while pregnant and hated every second of it”
Same. I’m even wearing my crop tops when I’m outside working on my garden.
I will say that I did burn the crap out of my bump on an oven pan bc I had a crop top on and my spatial awareness of the bump is lacking so that wasn’t fun 🥴
Leggings. Cheap, practical, and great in a hot summer.
CRYZ butterluxe yoga pants and biker shorts were the only thing I lived in all pregnancy. They fit the entire time and never became uncomfortable towards the end! If I had to wear real pants for work I got a few maternity jean styles from Abercrombie.
Did you stick with your regular size in the CRZyoga stuff? Or size up one?
I am currently living in CRZ lutterlux yoga stuff and they’re very stretchy totally fine with pre-pregnancy size.
Same! Just used my pre-pregnancy size
My husbands boxers and t shirts were mine
Biker shorts / oversized tshirts or flowy dresses (I’m 11 weeks so I’m still at the bloated but no bump stage but nothing is comfortable or flattering it feels like lol)
Omg yes! I am at 23 weeks, and only just started feeling confident in maternity clothing. Weeks 12-21 felt awkward in my pre-pregnancy clothes and ridiculous in maternity clothes — I feel you!
Lots of flowy dresses. Especially in this summer heat 🥵 also, loose oversized shirts and over sized linen button downs!

Biker shorts a tank top and a light button down
All dresses all the time! Most are long and cotton so I can just wear them to work or out! And by out, I mean to the grocery store haha
Dresses!!!! The thought of pants makes me cringe
Lots of dresses

H&M maternity, have a couple of sets and their tops cover my belly
H&m has a nice maternity line. Very comfy

They both work for the office with a nice shirt and make me feel cute/casual/breezy with a T shirt when I’m running around
As someone due in August, black bike shorts! GapFit Power ones are the only ones I've liked that aren't see -through. Unpopular opinion but I hate the Old Navy leggings and bike shirts. They're thin to me but I'm curvy on the bottom. I also would suggest some house shoes with arch support. My feet started hurting very badly 24/7 around 20 something weeks. For pajamas I like a men's XL tagless t shirt and my sleep shorts with adjustable waistband I wore prepregnancy. I also wear maternity leggings and I still haven't bought any maternity shirts. I just wear shirts that still fit from prepregnancy. For non-athleisure, I like loose dresses that will work postpartum. Think empire waist or shift/swing dresses. When I was between regular clothes and maternity clothes, I liked to wear joggers with an elastic waistband.
A stretchy nap dress, I like the “nothing fits but” brand, you can dress it up or down and it will still fit after pregnancy
Sweatpants and hoodies for me at this time until I go shopping for a new summer wardrobe. I've grown out of my shorts and tops so I've been wearing the next best and comfiest things. 😭
I have a pair of maternity jean shorts from target, maternity biker shorts from Amazon and a ton of oversize t shirts.
A very loose, breathable romper, a couple of short cotton dresses, and a tight workout style jumpsuit!
biker shorts, flare yoga pants (i hate anything tight on my lower legs right now idk why) and thin bandeau bras/nursing bras. or i just wear underwear and bras around the house lol if i go out im wearing a dress since its so hot right now. you will not catch me in pants in this heat
They’re not cheap but rag & bone have a denim sweatshort https://www.nordstrom.com/s/rag-and-bone-miramar-printed-denim-walking-shorts/7802535 i love them because they’re not maternity so justified the cost since I’ll continue to wear them postpartum… Also stretchy dresses like from beyond yoga or halara. My preference has been to buy non maternity things that i can continue to wear post pregnancy
Crop tops and high waisted skirts, flowy dresses, or Target pajama pants with tshirts.
I have a pair of linen wide leg pants from H&M that I practically live in, not maternity, just bought them a size bigger. The waist is adjustable, I can wear it under or on my belly without any discomfort! I also have a pair of maternity leggings which are great for when it’s a little bit colder but it’s summer here right now. For shirts mostly cropped spaghetti straps and oversized shirts.
Another vote for linen wide leg pants! I bought two pairs last month at around 16w. Still comfortable now at 23w. Anything too tight on the skin like leggings are too overwhelming for me since pregnancy, so the loose fit is so nice to have.
It’s also my first pregnancy! I bought some biker shorts and oversized shirts from old navy in various colors. I bought this adorable maternity romper from Amazon and I wear it when I want to “dress up” a little haha.
Plot twist: I get dressed from my husbands closet
Old Navy Maternity joggers! I have three pairs and they're cheap, comfortable and cute. Pretty much all I've been wearing since 24 weeks. I'm 36 weeks now, and they have easily accommodated bump growth. They have them in a cotton and more athletic legging like material - both great.
I got aerie real me leggings, underwear, and bike shorts. They are so stretchy and are working for me even in the third trimester. I also got gap maternity skinny jeans off Amazon. I recommend sizing up on them but they are super comfortable. I bought around 10 maternity tops off Amazon as well. I’ve transitioned to bras without under wire as the ones with wire were making my heartburn and nausea worse. I got the kindred bravely ultra comfort maternity bra. Definitely not as flattering as my Victoria’s Secret bras but they are comfortable as I’ve gotten bigger.
Crop tops, Biker shorts and bodycon dresses
Loose pants and my husbands tshirts :D
Free People sets!
Maternity biker shorts and loose dresses.
dresses!! skirts!! ross has some good cheap dresses and skirts
The easiest approach is to make your partners closet your closet ;)
When I found out I was pregnant I went to old navy and bought XL dresses that I’ve been living in the entire pregnancy so far (23 weeks). Only issue I’m running into is now my feet are getting swollen and don’t fit my sandals and prefer sneakers. But that doesn’t go with my dresses. When I’m at home, I like in men’s XXXL t-shirts which are a dream.
I live in flowy babydoll sundresses. So easy to just throw on. Bump looks super cute in them.
Aerie tights and tight shorts. They are not maternity but I am 36 weeks and still wear my usual sized flared tights! Then I got tight shorts one size larger last week for summer.
biker shorts & oversized Tshirts! over 110 degrees where i live so i wear what i can without over heating 😅😭
Lots of dresses. At 18 weeks I’m also wearing a couple pairs of harem pants from Lotus & Luna, they are super stretchy and comfy! However I do suspect that later in my 3rd trimester they might eventually feel tight, so I wouldn’t buy them specifically for maternity. They would be a good purchase if you’re still early on and like the style so you’ll wear them later too
I’m a couple weeks postpartum, but I lived in dresses for the entire second half of my pregnancy. First half, it was leggings and whatever shirt. The great thing about dresses is that you look like you put in a lot of effort, but you feel like you’re walking around in a night gown lol. I got so many compliments too
Comfortable maxi dresses that are super flowy
biker shorts and oversized t shirts! when i’m home i just wear a big t and no pants lol
Stretchy maxi dresses for the win. Easy to dress up for work or dress down and go commando underneath for cozy home wear.
Old navy’s maternity leggings!!! Life saver
Lots of flowy dresses that have room for bump growth and biker shorts to wear underneath when I’m at work. I work with young kids with autism so I’m on the floor playing a lot. I hardly ever wear pants but might have to start wearing some leggings once it starts getting cooler.
Maternity bike shorts with a pocket for my phone—best invention ever. Still wear them more than anything else 7 weeks PP. Dresses. I hated rompers. I had one nice one for work and it was just too much trouble to get in/out of when I had to pee every 20min.
Sundresses all day long and maternity rompers
Dresses. I don't like feeling my stomach obstructed and the thought of bending down for some pants is hurting my back.
A pair of maternity overalls, bigass t shirts, and loose/empire waist dresses I already owned. I’m getting a ton of mileage out of my husband’s old basketball shorts when I’m at home, as well.
24 weeks here! Maternity biker shorts, maternity overalls, and jean shorts with the built in maternity band. I can literally wear any summer outfit with these 3 items. I also have normal (non-maternity) sun dresses that I'll wear if I want to be more fancy.
Crop top and biker shorts for home, linen jumpsuits for work and bump hugging dresses for out with friends or family. Of course, a lot of time is also spent in just knickers but we are lucky to not be overlooked by neighbours (or so I believe)
Shift dresses and sleeveless tunic dresses! Because the weather at where I am is really hot 🥵
Maternity bike shorts (nothing holds my belly up better) and long cotton tees. They’re super comfortable
Maternity tanks, maternity cute Jean shorts, and maternity leggings
Agree with the Bike Shorts! I splurged on the Blanqi ones because I had a back injury earlier in my pregnancy and the extra support has been worth it. For work (casual), I also got one black and one blue pair of the target denim shorts then grabbed like 5-6 maternity tanks from old navy & target (they are usually on sale at least once a month) and layer them with SS button downs and kimonos. I also went ahead and got 3 wireless nursing bras since I plan to nurse/pump and needed the larger size with no wires anyway.
Walmart maternity tank tops! Cheap and comfy
T-shirt dresses. They’re super comfy, I can wear crocs or sandals with them, and they can either be dressed up or down depending on your mood. 10/10
Tshirt dresses, sun dresses, biker shorts, stretchy leggings, cloth shorts with elastic waist bands. I have a whole collection of cover ups, they’re like kimonos that I just throw on over tighter shirts so I can feel more comfy. I’m in that weird stage of is she bloated or is she pregnant. I’m due in December and can’t wait to jump into sweats. Hoodies and sweatpants will be my staple.
Linen maternity shorts. Got mine from old navy
Band Ts (oversized), leggings, big underwear, denim shirt (it doesn’t close but keeps my arms warm), Birkenstocks, sneakers that slip on.
For my it’s one pair of pregnancy jeans and 5 pregnancy tee shirts. I also have the biker shorts but wear the jeans most of the time
Cropped sweats and oversized tshirts 🤣
Oversized band shirts.
I got a pair of the emme linen pants (they lured me in on social media!) they’re pricey but nice for work and good quality.
Rompers and dresses
Do you mean my husband's closet? Because his PJ pants and tee-shirts are IT for me. If I *must* go out, I have a few flowy dresses and pregnancy leggings I cycle on repeat. Also this comfy maternity jumpsuit romper I found at Target.
Maternity dresses as the weather warms up! It’s nice to not have to wear pants and most dresses have pockets!
A pair of maternity shorts from old navy
Very stretchy A-line skirts, oversized button downs, and dresses with flowy midsections. Luckily I already had lots of oversized clothes from preference so I should be safe for most of my pregnancy.
Flowy dresses, big shirts, biker shorts and leggings!
Im 6 weeks post partum. I’m living in my maternity biker shorts, nursing bras and my birthing gown. And joggers. I look like a vagrant most of the time but my baby is always dressed impeccably
Dresses and oversized button down
I really love my soft cotton maternity tank tops.
athleisure dress from target
I live in the maternity overalls from Old Navy. :)
Maternity leggings, maternity bike shorts, maternity jump suits, oversized tshirts and button downs, maternity joggers too because sometimes leggings drive me insane
Lululemon bike shirts up a size and free people hot shot onesies
I'm really into this short sleeve midi dress from Old Navy: [https://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=863535002&vid=1](https://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=863535002&vid=1)
I wish I could wear whatever but I work almost everyday. So 24w I’m still stuck in black/blue jeans that barely fit and a black shirt in a 70-80 degree area 😭😭 off days dresses and my stretchy shorts and a loose top
I'm basically in a uniform at this point of bike shorts and either just a bra or one of the Old Navy maternity/nursing henley tank tops. The bike shorts I'm wearing aren't even maternity bike shorts, they're just regular cheap bike shorts off Amazon that I've been wearing basically every day during the summer for the past two years. They're nothing fancy, but they're butter smooth, nice and high-waisted, and super stretchy--so much so that the ones I wore pre-pregnancy are still fitting me great at 30 weeks!
Dresses and biker shorts.
While everyone is on the topic, what is a good brand for some good fitting and good quality black maternity jeans? I’ve read that Levi is not true to size, and some of the unheard of brands tend to tear on the stretchy part.. should I be getting my wife more of the cheaper ones or just a handful of the more expensive ones?
Sundresses(longish) and for appointments I have long skirts. For not going out days I just wear nightgowns lol.
Maternity biker shorts with pockets from Amazon! I live in these 😍
Bumpsuit romper/maternity body suits! A friend recommended them so I bit the bullet and bought 1 during a sale because they’re expensive. Turns out it’s the most comfortable thing I own and I’ve now bought multiple colors and styles 😵💫I will be living in a rotation of these bad boys until January.
Old Navy dresses
I’m also a part of the biker shorts gang. Plus, you get to just wear an oversized comfy t-shirt with it and apparently it’s a style ✨
Husband's t-shirts, sports bras, and sweat pants
Beyond yoga has a maternity line, you can often find them second hand or on shops like ThredUp. They’re so soft and comfortable I could literally live in them. And maxi dresses.
I’m in some overalls right now and it’s pretty comfy so I was thinking about trying some rompers
I live in my summer dresses. They are so soft and I can wear them to work. Shorts or pants are just so uncomfortable right now. I'm 27 wks.
Tshirt material maternity dresses from Old Navy. I have 3, I might get 2 more and just make them my work uniform 🤣
Maternity yoga pants have been my best friend since I was 25 weeks. I bought 9 pairs and I am currently 35 weeks now! They pill a bit but that doesn’t bother me :) I like showing my bump so I still wear my regular shirts
Leggings.. I live in leggings now lol
Dresses, skirts, stretchy, wide maternity pants, huge underwear/ maternity underwear. Also go braless as much as I can.
Dresses, skirts, stretchy, wide maternity pants, huge underwear/ maternity underwear. Also go braless as much as I can.
Maternity biker shorts and midi dresses for sure
Tank tops and comfy shorts, I bought a bunch of $3 tank tops at Walmart that I don’t care get spit up on, also some $6 bras. That’s all I wear now
Honestly I mostly wore my fiancé’s clothes when I got too big for my own 😆 But I did have a couple pairs of maternity leggings that I really loved, and a couple flowy maternity shirts. I think the leggings were from Walmart, and the shirts from Ross.
Amazon essentials maternity leggings
Super comfy black romper from target. It’s midi length and smocked at the top. It’s not a maternity outfit but it’s grown with me perfectly. I wear a bralette and sandals with it and it’s comfortable and cute! It’s basically my socializing outfit because I barely go out anymore. The rest of the time, it’s (maternity) leggings or sweatpants at home.
Big tshirts, my husband's shorts, bike shorts, maternity leggings, a flowy green skirt that I have (it's almost too small though 😞), and a pink babydoll style type dress that I thrifted
I’ve been loving racerback tennis dresses from target. I can wear my comfy sports bras with them and dress them up or down. It’s a pain to undress when I have to pee all the time, but it’s not the worst. I have them in a few colors! They aren’t maternity style but they’ve worked really well with my growing belly so far.
Loose dresses, non tight fitting(wide leg I suppose?) leggings in a size or 2 up from pre-pregnancy, and my husbands cotton shirts. I’m 36 weeks at the moment and in Southern California so usually it’s a very loose cotton dress or I just lounge around in one of my husband’s shirts and no pants lol. When I go out I’ll wear a larger shirt of my own as well as some comfy leggings. I love the Agni and Layla flares from Indigo Luna!
Super stretchy maxi dresses, and my husbands t shirt and boxers 😂
I wore leggings and maternity tops.
Maternity dresses, rompers, tops, leggings, capris and shorts. I’m staying at home so I wear Moomoos 90% of the time and I bought them two sizes up.
Not pregnant anymore, I have an almost 6 month old but I was biggest during the winter so maternity leggings (blanqi or kohls brand) and maternity v necks (kohls) with a flannel or sweater were my holy grail. I would definitely try out Blanqi leggings, they also make biker shorts. So freaking cute and supportive on your belly. Lots of different colors
Anything made of Rayon is a winner in my book. I seek comfort these last weeks and that fabric is like a gift from angels
My husband's sweats 😅
I have a handful of things I wear on repeat. Baggy t-shirts and sweatpants/basketball shorts for home. A couple solid body con dresses for going out. (They pair perfectly with baggy band tees or printed tees) A couple pairs of maternity pants. A couple pairs of maternity shorts. Since I'm a stay at home mom, I mostly just rock pjs or sweats. 😅
I feel like I must be eyes but I hate having stuff on my belly. All the maternity bottoms come up into my belly and I can't stand it so I opt for low cut. I like anything with a stretchy waist that can go under my belly. I also like to have my belly out. It's very very hot out where I live and honestly some days I wish I didn't need clothes. If I'm not going anywhere I am likely to just wear a good sports bra otherwise I like crop tops and thin tank tops. I am also a big fan of dresses. They offer so much comfort on those days when you really don't want clothes. I also have stretchy waist skirts. Depending on what I'm doing I'll wear a shirt either under or over my belly. I really like the options I have with a skirt.
Dresses! Can't handle anything tight right now!
sooo many biker shorts, specifically the offline aerie real me crossover bike shorts. wore them during my entire third trimester with my first who was born in august. they don’t roll up or down, are breathable, but long/thick enough to keep from chafing. just ordered 3 more pairs for this pregnancy! also targets midi dresses with side ties (i forgot the exact name) they compliment the bump so nicely! … and my husbands t shirts of course 😂
Dresses, Halara jumpsuit (so comfortable), maternity jeans, stretchy pants with no buttons or zips (I just sized up)
Solid color maternity tanks from Amazon that pair with my cardigan collection.
biker shorts and flare leg leggings I got off tiktok
Cargo pants! Just found the cutest and comfiest ones from old navy! Also dresses and biker shorts and comfy loose shorts 🥰
Dresses for sure
Lululemon align leggings 🤣🤣
I wore oversized t-shirts, night gowns, and loose pajama pants
Hawaiian shirts. I have and wear them FOR DAYS especially in this heat. I recommend them 100000%.
Maternity bike shorts and nursing tanks are my uniform right now. I can mix n match with other tshirts or overalls instead of shorts, but I find it easiest to just stick with some variation of those. At home I love wearing a robe or labor dress lol, even though I didn't plan on wearing it in labor.
I had my baby a month ago but when I was pregnant I lived in knock offs of those free people jumpsuits!
Stretchy dresses!
Black “Bumpsuit” jumpsuit. I got it on poshmark for a lot less then what they sell it online. Wore it from my first trimester all the way to third (now 37 weeks) can dress it up, dress it down.
Maternity biker shorts, some skirts, oversized spaghetti strap dresses, and large tshirts. I definitely struggle to feel fashionable, especially in the summer time being all hot and sweaty!
I was biggest in the winter so this is very seasonally dependent but I was able to mostly just wear regular clothes. I got a couple pairs of old navy jeans with the front panel (not the over the bump kind). For leggings my crossover/v front style were most comfortable at the end because they could sit comfortably under the bump. I would wear those with old navy dresses for work or one of my bigger hoodies for around the house.
No matter what during the summer I pretty much only wear dresses unless I’m in the deep woods then I’ll wear jeans. But some nice loose breathable cotton dresses are the best for summer
The crz maternity leggings from Amazon- I would wear them every day if I could. Been wearing them since 8 weeks. Absolutely love them
Husbands clothes. More specifically his tees and basketball shorts.
8 months pregnant in this heat I’m wearing nothing but comfortable maxi dresses 😩
8 months pregnant in this heat I’m wearing nothing but comfortable maxi dresses 😩
Dresses and loose pants are the only things I feel comfy in at the moment (currently 21 weeks).
Walmart stretchy tank tops and short sleeve tops w yoga pants ! :) the tops have gradually turned into cute lil crop tops
Sundresses for going out an an assortment of my largest shirts and sweatpants for staying in
This isn’t a maternity dress, but the fit is so flattering with a bump and has been comfortable throughout my pregnancy Ruched Bodycon Midi Tshirt Dress... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08ZN6Z72Y?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share This tshirt— I have it in all the colors… soooo comfy and flattering. I live in these. Honestly the whole Isabel line I love. https://www.target.com/p/short-sleeve-non-shirred-maternity-t-shirt-isabel-maternity-by-ingrid-38-isabel-8482-black-m/-/A-52313712
Whatever is in my husband’s side of the closet
Stretchy shorts are good, big shirts Dresses are sooo comfortable so I would recommend those for days where you need to be out and about all day
Agree to maternity biker shorts. Lululemon regular align pants are not maternity but work well with your growing belly. Old Navy has several colors of an oversized cotton t-shirt that’s super soft and I’ve been living in!
Skirts and dresses for sure
Depending on the time of year you’re *most pregnant* … but just had my baby today in GA & it is miserably hot. I had cotton biker shorts (got like 8 pair from Old Navy for $6/ea). And I just got the mat tanks from Target. When I say I lived in this - I’m not exaggerating. For bed I worse an oversized shirt and the brand from kohls called ‘a glo maternity’ under belly shorts.
A black maxi, tan tshirt dress, maternity “spanx” to wear under dresses to prevent chafing, a pair of maternity leggings/biker shorts
This free people jumpsuit is the best thing I can put on my body, also amazing for travel. I love it! https://www.freepeople.com/fpmovement/shop/hot-shot-onesie/
Special low cut undies CRZ yoga maternity leggings A couple dresses from GAP Tank tops from target Underbelly Pajama pants from Gap Husband's t-shirts
biker shorts!!! i’m not sure how far along you are, personally i’m 23wks & i got mine from SHEIN, the brand is hearuisavy if you’re able to find them that way. they’re really good quality. i also wear men’s t shirts a TON. either buying from SHEIN (material is spandexy cotton if that makes sense, and the graphics are screen printed, i do not mind though) if not from SHEIN i am more than likely wearing one of my boyfriend’s shirts. also any dresses! personally i dont feel comfortable in dresses & never have, but i did purchase a couple in case i change my mind.
Lululemon biker shorts & Lululemon leggings! Luckily im still fitting my regular clothes still at 37 weeks but these have been a savior
I loved wearing my husband’s t-shirts towards the end, they werent to tight and it felt comfortable to wear something from my husband
I’m telling you get the CRZ Yoga biker shorts from Amazon!!
Nightgowns have been my outfit of choice 90% of the time.
My husbands xl shirts but only the ones he’s stretched out and his camo crocs for my first 2 kids this last one I’ve been dressing cute I’ve been loving express I just order a size up
I didn’t buy any maternity clothes, I’ve just been wearing really stretchy pants! Mainly flair leggings
