Fashion is not limited when a woman falls pregnant. Being pregnant is not an excuse to look frumpy and out of shape because your body has taken a new shape. It is not also a call to clear your wardrobe for preggy wear or big size clothes because you are only pregnant for 9 months and will most likely go back to your normal weight after baby has come into the physical world.
For me being pregnant had been a challenge for me baecause I have become a weight and size I have never been before. From 48kg to 65kg and size 30 to a size 34 in just 6months. I look at my jeans and tight drresses now and they look like they belong to my 10 years old niece. Well my advantage is that I my bump only started showing in Spring as I am expecting a summer baby so I can get away with summer dresses like Maxi dresses, empire waist dresses and leggings. Being pregnant is also not an excuse to wear extra small tops that show your belly button and tight fitting shorts or pants. Dress to be comfortable.
Put your high heels on a break if you are a heel funutic like me and swap them for pumps or low rise wedges. Here a 10 other garments to have for pregnancy and post baby.
10 things to wear before, during, and after pregnancy (taken from www.babycenter.com)
1.
Leggings
You
can never go wrong with a good pair (or four) of dark, stretchy
leggings. Comfortable on your most bloated days, they can also give a
streamlined look when tucked into boots. While there are special
"maternity" leggings on the market, many moms say there's really no
need. You can size up regular leggings for a bit more give, and you'll
be able to get more use out of them for those post-baby days when your
pooch may still be in effect. When your bump is big, just slouch the
waistband below for more comfort.
2.
Tunic
It's hard to say enough fabulous things
about these oversize tops that hit below the hip. (Many stop at
mid-thigh, but it depends on your height.) They hide
and
flatter a multitude of body issues and bumps, but often have lovely,
slimming details like bracelet-length sleeves, vented sides, and deep
V-necklines. Before pregnancy, you may be able to wear one as a dress;
as you go through your pregnancy, pair it with leggings or wear it over
skinny jeans. After baby, you'll appreciate the extra room – plus, the
added fabric can provide a discreet cover while nursing.
3.
Maxi dress
They
have become oh so trendy with women of all ages – and with good
reasons. To start: Empire waists, flowing skirts, a focus on your
collarbone, shoulders, and décolletage! Choose a soft jersey fabric that
can drape easily over your changing body. This is another item you
probably don't need to buy in the maternity department, say experts. So
long as you find one in a forgiving fabric, these supersize dresses will
take you through every stage.
4.
Long tank top
You
can never have enough of these staples, but when seeking a tank with
staying power and the ability to make the most of your figure, do
consider investing in the best one you can find. Look for stretchy
microfiber blends, ruching on the sides, and thick straps that can hide a
bra (regular or nursing) and accommodate the ebb and flow of your
chest. Subtle ruching will give you shape during the first trimester,
then whittle your middle after delivery. Wear under everything or alone.
The longer length will accommodate a belly and give some coverage to
your rear – especially helpful if you're pairing the tank with leggings
or skinny jeans.
5.
Unstructured, chunky cardigan
While the
classic cardigan will never go out of style, a more unstructured option
gives you more flexibility when you're expecting. No buttons to fuss
with or strain against, no tissue-thin material revealing more ripples
than you'd like. Instead, an unstructured cardigan – perhaps one with an
asymmetrical front and a simple one-button or toggle closure near the
neckline – allows you to wear it open or loosely closed. You're left
with a slouchy, casual elegance that can work season after season. A
thicker knit can do double duty as a light coat in fall or spring.
6.
Shift dress
A classic shift dress with a
slight A-line (meaning body skimming around the upper body and then
flared out just a smidge at the bottom) has a youthful, deconstructed
silhouette that's flattering on nearly everyone, and especially so for
new or expectant moms. When you're not pregnant, a shift will lightly
skim your curves but have plenty of sass and swing. As you grow, there's
still space for your belly to burgeon and your legs to take center
stage. A dress with a scoop neck or even spaghetti straps is a
particularly great option. Once you've had the baby, you'll be able to
shimmy back into a shift right away!
7.
A great scarf
Sure, they aren't necessarily items of
clothing,
per se, but experts are united in their love for this most versatile
accessory to amp up a variety of looks, add flair to an otherwise
monochromatic outfit, or simply stretch a wardrobe you may be quickly
growing tired of! It's accessories like silky, patterned scarves – as
well as long, chunky necklaces or statement earrings or whatever you
love – that help you make each outfit extraordinary. Plus, draping a
long necklace over a slightly billowy blouse or tunic before you're
pregnant helps rein in the fabric for a leaner look. Another scarf
bonus: Once the baby comes, a scarf can morph into an impromptu nursing
cover, a blanket for a quick rest in the park, or a makeshift shade for
your stroller.
8.
Wrap dress
When
baby is not yet on board, a classic wrap dress is elegant and easy.
Once your body starts to change, readjust the fit by securing the
dress's ties a bit higher (right under your bust) to play up the
smallest part of your slowly disappearing waistline. Look for jersey and
other stretchy, blended fabrics that will grow with you but snap right
back into shape. If dresses aren't your thing, wrap-style tops are a
great choice for any stage.
9.
Fold-over yoga pants
A
pair of black boot-cut yoga pants will be another workhorse of your
wardrobe. Wear them from the gym to the store, to a casual lunch with
friends, or even to see a midday movie. Find a pair with a wide
fold-over waistband, which allows you to either fold it down beneath
your belly or extend it up over the bump, when the extra cradling of
your belly might feel nice. If you have a c-section, you'll probably
live in these pants after delivery, since they won't irritate the
incision while it's healing.
10.
Dark, stretchy "skinny jeans"
First things first: The term "skinny jeans" has little to do with how, um, skinny
you actually are. Rather, it has become a shorthand that manufacturers
use to describe a range of jeans that have one major thing in common – a
slim, curve- hugging fit that gives a smooth, elongated look. Go for a
dark denim, which is universally flattering, and you can dress it up or
down with flats, heels, or knee-high boots. Look for a pair with at
least 2 percent Lycra or other stretchy material so it can withstand the
growth spurt ahead, as well as spring back once you're in the "fourth
trimester" and beyond. A well-sized pair can last you well into your
second (and for some women, third) trimester, if you push the waistband
beneath your bump, leave the top button undone, and top it with a long
stretchy tank.
The easiest baby clothes are button down rompers and pull up pants for newborns. I know it gets better as they grow to maybe 4months or when they can sit up. Anyway, despite the stressful pull outs and pull ons for babies I love how creative designers/ parents have become with baby clothes. 
Below you will see mostly baby boys than baby girls. I tried finding interesting and cute bay girls clothes and found them to be more of the same things which arer frills and tutus. I love the flower shoes though. Their headbands are also cute but can sometimes look too tight. Mummies should not leave those things on for their pretty princesses for too long.
