As soon as you find out you're pregnant, you'll also discover the joys of nightwear that you've never realised before. Pregnancy brings with it a sense of tiredness that you probably won't have experienced, and getting as much sleep as possible - or even just resting - is vital. Because as soon as baby arrives, you might still be living in your maternity pyjamas, but you won't necessarily be getting a lot of sleep... And the word 'tired' takes on a whole new meaning.
So maternity and breastfeeding pyjamas that are comfy and practical are vital, because you'll be wearing them a lot. You'll also want to pack some in your hospital bag when thinking about what to wear in labour.
We've rounded up the most comfortable and stylish maternity nightwear to see you through those sleepless nights (and days). What's more, a lot of these are suitable for nursing, which is a must when you have a hungry newborn on your hands.
For breastfeeding, accessible nightwear is important - you need to be able to get your boobs out easily when it's 2am and you can't quite see straight.
Here are our favourite sets of maternity nightwear for mamas and mums-to-be...
