When to start wearing maternity clothes

Most women can wear their normal clothes for most of the first trimester (3 months).

But you might need to consider a larger bra or looser fitting clothes for comfort during this time.

When you are around 4 or 5 months pregnant, you may have to start wearing larger clothes. Most women switch to maternity wear when they are about 6 months pregnant.

What you need

There are plenty of fashionable maternity clothes available. But it is not essential to invest large sums on money in a full wardrobe.

It is best to buy a few key items of clothing that you can mix and match. Consider the weather and changing seasons during your pregnancy. Remember that you will still be wearing some of your maternity clothes for a while after the birth.

Key items of clothing you may want to consider include:

• maternity bra
• comfortable cotton underwear
• two pairs of well-cut maternity trousers, such as maternity leggings or jeans
• a plain skirt or dress, such as a stretch jersey wrap dress
• a maxi dress
• a jacket
• two maternity tops (empire line tops are more flattering)
• one smart outfit
• comfortable, flat shoes
