Maternity Clothes for Twin Pregnancy: What Should You Wear?
Expecting twins or triplets? Finding maternity clothes can be very challenging, not to mention that you have to do it earlier than other pregnant women. You will need to buy a lot of clothes to accommodate your growing body. Discussed here are some pointers in choosing maternity clothes for twin pregnancy that are practical and worth your money.
The Must-Haves
As soon as you have discovered that you’re pregnant, start collecting all the essential clothes for mothers who are expecting twins or triplets.
* Maternity pants or pajamas
* Leggings or tights
* Stretch jeans (You can also wear it after giving birth.)
* Maternity tops
* Drop-down bras (Go up at least two cup sizes to allow some space for growth.)
* Two maternity dresses
Buy Only the Basics
You use maternity clothes for only a short time, nine months at most to be exact. So invest in a few comfortable basic clothes that you can mix and match. Jazz up your outfits with fun accessories as well.
First Three Months
One characteristic of twin pregnancy is early weight gain. You will need to adjust your wardrobe accordingly. Wear slightly bigger clothes that can make room for your growing body. Your other option is to use a belly belt that can make your regular clothes fit you for a longer time during the first trimester of your pregnancy.
Mid-Pregnancy
In your second trimester of pregnancy, maternity clothes will probably fit well. Buy maternity clothes that are one size bigger than your size prior to pregnancy. In doing so, you make your maternity clothes fit you for a longer time during your pregnancy. A great accessory item is a belt or waistband that can be worn below your belly rather than stretching across the belly. To avoid exposing your thighs, don’t wear dresses or skirts with above-the-knee hemlines, which will go up as your belly becomes bigger. When it comes to your undergarment, choose a bra that can adequately support your breasts.
The Last Three Months
Any clothing is good when you reach the last trimester of your twin pregnancy. Wear anything that keeps you comfortable. If standard maternity sizes don’t fit you at this point, go for plus size maternity clothes that are available in discount shops. Choose plus size maternity outfits made of soft and flexible fabrics to ensure maximum comfort.
