Thank you for supporting moms supporting moms!

Any time I have an opportunity to share these picks with a pregnant mother, I do. Knowing just how hard it was finding anything that I not only felt good in, but actually felt beautiful in, I feel compelled to share these picks with as many women as possible.

Don’t go through the hassle of trial and error like I did. This list is a great starting point to completely upgrading your quality of life. Pick and choose what looks good... Or just buy one of everything and thank me later! You can always return them!

Lets get comfy!

Mothers deserve the most support...

Before family and friends can support us, we need to support ourselves. Lets just say the thing... Once my breasts changed, I just dropped the bra altogether because it was too much hassle. I spent so much time not even wearing a bra because nothing fit anymore and I didn't want to deal with it. When I finally got my FIRST INLYRIC comfort bra I wondered why I didn't have this earlier in my pregnancy and immediately bought three more! Don't make my mistakes. It's not a purchase, its an investment in your pregnancy experience.

Name brand on a budget?

When my stretchiest pants didn't stretch enough for me to wear them anymore I thought two things, "My baby is getting so big!", and "I can't afford to temporarily replace my Lululemon's!" But I found the perfect pair of pregnancy leggings AND I could buy 3 pairs for the price of one Lulu replacement. Your legs will feel hugged, your baby will feel hugged, you can do your stretches, and of course... THEY HAVE POCKETS!

When your ankles need a break.

Variety is important! You don't want to worry that people think you only own one pair of leggings! During the week I would mix in all kinds of articles that felt good and looked great (stick around for even more outfits). Some days my ankles were more swollen than others. With these bootcut leggings, I felt like I could let them do their thing without having to wear shorts. And once again, my belly was supported and I was ready to take on the world (or at least Target).

For the couch and for going out

What is better than lounging on the couch in the comfiest sweatpants? I'll tell you. Having cute and comfortable sweats that work for leaving the house that you don't need to change when you're back home on the couch! These are packed away just in case we decide to go through pregnancy again!

I can't say that I ever played tennis while I was pregnant, but if I DID, I would have been so ready and so cute doing it. And in so many color options! Looking back on pregnancy pictures, I realized just how often I wore this outfit and I think I loved it even more than I realized... Which was a lot! You will feel beautiful, confident, and ready to sign up at your local tennis club in this absolutely lovely tennis dress! Did I mention it is stretchy and has pockets?

Lets turn the cute factor up a notch

Secretly comfy on date night?

Who says you have to sacrifice looking stunning on date night or a night out with the girls? There is nothing like turning heads and knowing it isn't just because you are visibly pregnant! This elegant and (once again) stretchy midi dress is just what you need to not feel like you have been living in lounge wear for 9 months straight! With a built in shelf bra, it's never been easier to just change your clothes and go right to dinner!

Okay time for bed!

Not only is this pick absolutely gorgeous, but it will carry over from pregnancy into postpartum! The material is so soft and stretches with your body, but also maintains its shape and it will accommodate you at every stage of your journey! I still wear mine almost every night. From steadily growing and just needing to feel constantly embraced, to wrapping myself up before a midnight feed. With easy access for my baby at a moment's notice, this nursing gown has been life changing and is still my bedtime go to!

A gown is always useful and definitely a must have in any woman's wardrobe, however, nothing beats good ol' fashioned pajamas! Once again, this flexible material went with me from maternity into my postpartum and is still something I wear regularly. It is the perfect blend of home lounging wear but I have also worn this to the grocery store and I am unashamed. Mix and match the top and bottoms with any combination of your other pajamas and it becomes highly versatile! Or do what I did and buy 4 different colors and mix those up! They are fun, timeless, casual, and above all else, super comfortable!

Pajama party, anyone?
