It may come as a
surprise that during the lockdowns and closures of companies, some temporarily,
others, permanently, there was a surge in pregnancies. People had to spend more
time together at home and, well, if you don’t have to go to work, what are you
going to do? As such there is an increased need for help and advice from
pregnant women who, some of which never even planned to fall pregnant, others
had been trying, clearly, they just needed more time;
Clothing - It’s personal
When it comes to
being pregnant, nobody can determine how they are going to feel, sure everybody
has their own personality and traits which should still ‘for the main part’
stay intact. However, there will be some rather significant changes going on
within your body which will affect various areas of your looks which may affect
how you feel, apparently clothes can help.
Is there a favourite pregnancy look?
Granted, this is
hugely subjective however, when asked, a number of mothers and pregnant women
actually said that they’d been living in dresses for the entire period of their
pregnancy whereas others said that nursing tank tops of
Australia were what did it for them! They added that they usually go for a
reserved look, something below-the-knee like a smock or a shift dress was the
general consensus. You may not normally wear dresses but, this is a little
different, you have to consider an increased number of trips to the loo and
your general comfort.
For some ladies,
wearing anything ‘fitted’ is just a bit too much, some even said that anything
other than a dress made them feel claustrophobic, sick or increased their
feeling of being bigger than usual. It’s all personal though, so you might find
that you feel a completely different way and would prefer to wear something
else.
Dressing for hot weather?
It all changes
when it gets hot, you’ll become more tired and probably a bit grouchy unless
you do something to relax like, reading a good book. A change of clothes might also be needed, some
ladies said that they found it hard to get the correct size clothes in store so
you might want to go online and check out things like crop tops, sustainable
swimsuits and, of course, more dresses.
Cotton is a good
choice because it should stick to your skin but it will allow your body to
breathe which is super important. Various other fabrics will give you different
benefits but, essentially you are going to want a material that lets your body
breath, doesn’t stick and that offers some protection.
Dressing for the cooler weather?
Most of the women
asked said that, what really saved them throughout the colder months was having
some really versatile maternity basics that they could layer if needed as
well as mix and match. They all highly recommended investing in a few
bump-friendly pieces that you really love, jumpsuits are one of the top picks.
Clothing aside
If you are
pregnant at the moment then it’s worth considering what kind of world your
child is going to be presented with when they decide to come out and say help.
Do your best to limit their exposure to handheld tech and try and help them to
grow up appreciating the value of things, far too many children these days have
been spoiled and have no idea.
