I like this shirt as a maternity version of the crisp white button-down. (As I was writing that, it occurred to me that since having a child, I could not describe anything I currently wear as either “crisp” OR white.) I like how the buttons are on the top half as if it were a … Read More about Maternity Monday: Tie-Waist Tunic Shirt

For me, the hardest time to dress while pregnant was during the first trimester. I still mostly fit into my clothes, but some of my pre-pregnancy wear gave the impression that I just might be bloated and/or wearing something unflattering. I also found that maternity clothes were made for the late second to third trimesters … Read More about Maternity Monday: ‘Everyday’ Bella Band

If I were pregnant right now, I would probably be wearing these all weekend long. As my currently non-pregnant self, I don’t think I could get away with wearing them (I would look like Miranda Hobbes), but they look so damn adorable on pregnant women. So cute in fact, that The New York Times had an … Read More about Family Friday: Maternity Denim Overalls

There are a few things I really like about this maternity dress from H&M. My favorite is the sheer sleeves, which work in both a cold office and in transition to fall. Although fall seems a long ways away, there is something autumnal about the colors, and I can picture it with nice brown boots. … Read More about Maternity Monday: MAMA Viscose Dress

My favorite maternity dress I bought myself was by Seraphine, and when I was recently browsing their site, I came across this dress and knew I had to recommend it. I think this is a great maternity work dress, but it can even be worn to a more casual wedding. I like the well-placed zippers … Read More about Maternity Monday: Black Zip Detail Maternity Dress

I like this dress because it does double duty. You can wear it as a maternity dress while pregnant, and then postpartum it’s also a nursing dress. I actually did wear a lot of my maternity clothes while I was on maternity leave for a few reasons. They were comfortable and they accommodated my waistline … Read More about Maternity Monday: Scallop Dress with Short Sleeves

When I was pregnant, my mother-in-law generously took me shopping for a few nice maternity pieces. Luckily, most of my maternity wardrobe came in the form of several black garbage bags stuffed to the brim with clothes that were passed around to a few different friends. For work though, I definitely needed some quality pieces, … Read More about Maternity Monday: Secret Fit Belly Straight Leg Suiting Pants 

I inherited a few of these tank tops from my sister-in-law when she passed along her maternity clothing stash, and I highly recommend grabbing a few during the sale at Gap. They’re soft and long and come in all the basic colors. When I started showing, I used them underneath my non-maternity tops to extend … Read More about Maternity Monday: Pure Body Tank

I had two weddings to attend while I was pregnant and I bought this dress to wear to both of them. My pregnant friend saw me in the dress and bought it herself as well. The neckline and the lace sleeves are very flattering, you can wear a regular bra with it, and it’s obviously … Read More about Maternity Monday: Lace A-Line Dress

Luckily, in my first trimester I didn’t get morning sickness too badly — but I was definitely queasy on more mornings than not. Unluckily, I had to commute every morning in very crowded conditions. The smells, the heat, the crowds, the swaying … it’s enough to make me nauseated on a regular, non-pregnant day. I … Read More about Maternity Monday: Preggie Pop Drops
