Spring maternitywear that will see you through to your Summer baby
This spring you may be due late summer or early autumn and your bump is just beginning to show. With some careful shopping you can buy essential pieces that will see you through the sometimes still chilly days of spring to the hot summer day when you will be more heavily pregnant.
Maternity Roll Top
Trousers by Ripe £48
|
1) Buy a good pair of black trousers…
that will be suitable for work and the evening. But chose a cotton or linen rather than a bengaline type fabric which will be too hot for summer. You can then wear these now with your boots and change to ballet pumps or sandals when the weather gets warmer.

Carpenter Style Cotton
Maternity Jeans £48
|
2) Invest in a pair of maternity jeans that fit you well now…
and can expand to fit later. Cheaper brands will not always stretch and if you buy them too big they will fall down. Some are available in a full length and then roll up to become cropped for the summer. 2 pairs in 1 a great buy.

Lace trim Vest by Melba Maternity £24
|
3) Maternity vests…
are longer than normal vests and usually rouch at the side so there is extra fabric to cover your growing bump. Get these now to wear under any knitwear and long sleeve tops that may be getting to short.. You can then wear them on their own in the summer, but chose styles with either a built in shelf bra or wide enough straps to cover your maternity bra straps.

Dana Dress by Mothers En Vogue £62
|
4) Treat yourself to a dress…
which can be worn now as a tunic over trousers until the weather is warmer. Towards the end of your pregnancy you may have days when you want to have nothing around your waist and dresses are the most coolest and comfortable thing you can wear.

Amoralia Bra £38 &
French Knickers £18
|
5) Get measured for your correct size maternity bra
It is very likely that your breasts and rib cage have changed and will continue to do so. Buy stretchy maternity bras and Bra extenders for the last couple of months when your rib cage will be at its fullest. Do not be frightened of maternity bras they can be just as pretty as your normal lingerie.
