Wearing appropriate clothing during pregnancy is an important element of prenatal care that one has to look into. What you wear during pregnancy has a profound effect on your overall health. In this article Mama Maternity shares on why comfortable clothes are essential for Pregnant women!
1. Firstly, for your own peace of mind! You will be otherwise uncomfortable in a thousand ways during pregnancy. At least your pregnant apparel should make you feel at peace. During the first trimester of your pregnancy you will have bouts of morning sickness and nausea. There could be some indigestion too. In that case it is better to avoid tight trousers or dresses that are tight around the waist. This is because they will make your unsettled stomach wrestle even more.
2. Many women complain about feeling hot during pregnancy and that is because our hormones are on a roller coaster ride. You will sweat and feel exasperated by the heat more than you realise! So wearing clothes that are too tight or of a material that makes you uncomfortably hot which will only aggravate the situation.
3. You will eventually start putting on weight from the second trimester. To accommodate your expanding figure you need the best quality maternity clothes that will clothe you till the end of your third trimester, and keep you comfortable throughout! For the simple reason that maternity clothing is designed specifically to support the growing life form within you. Right from the moment you come to know that you are pregnant you become very conscious about your baby and everything revolves around protecting and nurturing the life within the perfect way. Maternity clothing helps in that respect.
4. Back pain is common in pregnancy so it makes sense to wear clothes that are breathable, flexible, and comfortable, some may even have build in support for lower back comfort. While exercising can relieve back pain during pregnancy, wearing the right type of maternity clothing can also play a vital role in minimizing it!
5. For all the working Mama’s!! Professional maternity wear for the working ladies is important because working women need much much more comfort and care during pregnancy and dealing with an annoying boss! (joking, but not really joking-haha) Whilst you are in the midst of growing a human inside of you, working a 9-5 can be stressful on your mind and body, so wearing comfortable, stylish but formal enough maternity work wear should definitely be a priority for you and the health of your pregnancy!It certainly gives you one less thing to worry about.
6. Provide you support after birth: Post maternity wear, like the nursing bra and c-section panties not only provide you the necessary support but also makes you feel at ease. Your breasts can grow as much as 3 cup sizes during your pregnancy; regular bras aren't designed to provide the support & comfort you need. But the right nursing bra will! Nursing bra with easy-to-open bra cups that can be opened with one hand for discreet, undisturbed breastfeeding. C-section panty helps in faster healing of c-section wounds by providing light compression. Nursing tops, and breast feeding blankets to ensure you are comfortable whilst providing your new child with needed nutrients.
In conclusion, maternity wear goes beyond a baggy dress, its about pregnant women having the opportunity to look and feel good during a time when their bodies are doing things they never thought possible. It is a time where beyond style, the comfort of the pregnant woman is a daily priority to ensure a peaceful pregnancy.
