When you’re pregnant, comfort is of the utmost importance. Sure, you want to look great, but when you’re pregnant, your skin already glows! You need to worry about how you’re going to make it through the day without your comfy sweatpants.

Here are some tips for building a comfortable maternity wardrobe on a budget, so you can spend more money on your bundle of joy and reuse the clothing again, even when you’re not pregnant.

Nursing Tanks

Nursing tanks are some of the most versatile items you can have while pregnant. In a variety of colors, they give you great, coordinated support under other shirts like button ups. They are comfortable and stretchy, so they grow with you.

They pull double duty because you can wear them for nursing after you have the baby. As your body returns to normal, they are forgiving of your new shape, and they still look great under your regular clothes.

Other Nursing Shirts

Typically, nursing shirts are stretchy, soft, and comfortable, so they make great maternity shirts. Pass over the maternity shirts and go for something that will be useful even after you have the baby. Some are even stylish enough to fit into your regular wardrobe when you’re done nursing.

Button-Ups

Button up shirts look so cute over a bright colored cami. Pair a variety of button ups with your nursing tanks, and you’ll have outfits for days. Mix and match to make a new outfit every time. It’s dressy enough for work and sporty enough for weekend errands.

Plus, when you get to the point where you can’t button them over your growing belly, they look adorable unbuttoned, so you won’t need to buy a bigger size.

Maternity Bottoms

Maternity bottoms come in all shapes and sizes. From jeans to yoga pants and skirts to shorts, there’s something that you’ll find comfortable. Comfortable maternity pants are an investment you’ll want to make.

When your body returns to its normal size, they probably won’t be useful anymore, but they are definitely something you’ll want as you recover and lose weight because they will give you the room and flexibility you need.

Buy maternity clothes to suit your pregnancy, recovery, and new routine, and you’ll find that you are much more comfortable and the money you spend is worth it.
