Remember, the right maternity clothes are designed to keep your baby safe from harm and to fit right for your growing bump. Tight or restrictive clothing can lead to poor blood circulation, so wearing relaxed fitting clothes during pregnancy is essential for physical relief, movement, support, confidence, and safety.
Materials that are stretchy without feeling too tight will help you feel more comfortable and confident, and the right material will keep you cosied up and less sweaty.
