I’ve come to discover that being pregnant is an interesting season— emphasis on “interesting”.
What’s
interesting during those 40 weeks can be so out of the ordinary — it's nice to do things so you still feel like yourself throughout the season. For me, that meant holding onto my
personal style, even though I couldn’t wear most of my clothes anymore.
Maternity Clothes Without Spending Can you wear regular clothes when
Pregnant? — and the answer is absolutely YES! In fact, I make it a point to wear non-maternity clothes while pregnant. Not only is it totally possible to wear non-maternity clothes while pregnant, but it is also flattering. You can find regular non-maternity clothes that will accommodate a bump to be just as comfy and supportive as maternity clothes, and that you can continue to wear postpartum.
Judging by my imposed sedentary lifestyle, I spent a lot of my pregnancy in my birthday suit. When I was clothed, my go-to pregnancy looks were the same clothes I have always had in my
wardrobe: I actually wanted to buy new clothes that would grow with my belly but I find most maternity clothes are pretty expensive and not that cute. So buying too many pieces I probably won’t wear again just didn’t make any sense to me. I decided to explore
creative ways to wear non-maternity clothes as a mum-to-be.
It was challenging at times, but it turned out to be the same kind of strategy I used
to repeat my clothes without anyone knowing.
