Are maternity clothes necessary in order to look good during pregnancy?
Marsha Maung
I remember my mother telling me about the times when she was
pregnant. She was wearing nothing more than my father's jeans
and his working shirts throughout her pregnancy. No maternity
clothes for her because she was too poor to buy them at that
time. Remember, in her time, which was about 30 years back,
maternity clothes used to cost a bomb.
And yet, if you walk along any shopping center these days,
you'll notice at least three or four maternity clothes fashion
houses catering to the specifically 'large' needs of a pregnant
mother. And since the web and the Internet is such a magnanimous
thing these days, what about online maternity stores? I'd safely
say there are just about half a million legitimate maternity
stores right now flailing around the Internet wires for
business.
And the amazing thing is that...YES, they make money! And why, I
was wondering.
Because of one simple thing....even though my mother (like your
mother) and my grandmother (and your grandmother) didn't need
maternity clothes when they were pregnant, the modern generation
of pregnant women really, truly DO need maternity clothes. We're
living in an era that is completely different from their time
and we cannot compare our pregnancy needs with their needs. The
same rules no longer apply.
If you're pregnant right now and am sitting around here
wondering if you should get yourself a whole new wardrobe of
maternity clothes, you're in luck. I have some tips about buying
maternity clothes for you.
Buy good-looking maternity clothes that can last at least 3
pregnancies
Like I said, maternity clothes are not cheap these days and
maternity clothes are only wearable for the nine months that
you're pregnant and maybe another month or two after that. And
when you get back in shape, you're going to have to shelve those
expensive maternity clothes or put the maternity clothes in sad
boxes with the edges stuck together with cellophane tape.
So, buy only maternity clothes that are classy and of
exceptional quality. You wear maternity clothes only when you
plan to go out. For casual outings and at home, stick to your
extra large clothes or perhaps, you can buy some large sweaters,
t-shirts, overalls, or raglan to wear when you're not required
to look all-that-presentable. It works!
You won't need CASUAL maternity clothes. In my books, that's an
oxymoron.
Maternity clothes that can double up as breastfeeding clothes
later on would be good too
If you intend to breastfeed your baby after the whole pregnancy
is over, you would have to think about buying MORE
clothes...breastfeeding/nursing clothes. Now, as with maternity
clothes, nursing clothes don't come cheap either. And do we NEED
nursing clothes as much as we need maternity clothes? Yes,
sometimes we do. I have quite a few fashionable looking nursing
clothes that I wear whenever I go out shopping or meeting up
with friends. Other times, I wear my t-shirts with holes cut out
for easy access to the breast! Yeah, it's funny, but at home,
who's going to care?
And if you can get your hands on some good maternity clothes
that can double up as nursing clothes later on, GO FOR IT! You
will get your money's worth that way.
Style of maternity clothes Many maternity clothes designers are
asleep when they're designing maternity clothes - the selection
is bad. Most of them are nothing but flower after flower, spiral
after spiral, safety pins or perhaps some form of teddy bear or
another. Forget about them! If you were to buy maternity
clothes, invest one that makes you look good. If the maternity
clothes are plain, that's fine, it's better than making you look
like Bozo - most of them do, by the way.
The point is that you want to look CLASSY and DIGNIFIED even
though you're sort of....BIG. and wearing maternity clothes with
large orange and yellow flower prints is NOT going to help you
do that!
That's just my opinion, of course, and you're entitled to have
your own opinion about maternity clothes that looks good.
Good luck!
