Pregnancy Lifesavers: Products that Every Mom-To-Be Should Know About

 

Every month has an average of 30 days, except for the last month of pregnancy which has about 1,330 days. 

Sounds familiar? We feel you. Pregnancy is a blessing although it comes with its set of discomforts. As a mom, I gravitate to the products that make life's moments more comfortable. And pregnancy is no exception.

This comprehensive product guide will hopefully lessen those aches and pains!

 

Firstly, let's talk bras. After all, we are the bra experts :)

As your body embraces pregnancy, hormones will affect your breast size.  Most women experience a growth in cup size (and later on in pregnancy, band size) until the end of the 4th, early 5th month. At that point, the size stabilizes. As your rib cage begins to expand to make room for your growing belly, the band will get tight. Sometimes, all you need is a bra extender to give you more wiggle room. You might feel the need to get fitted for comfortable, soft, wire free bras in your 7th or 8th month if the extender solution isn't working and discomfort is becoming your daily companion.

We recommend getting fitted for comfy wire free nursing bras towards the end of the 8th/early 9th month.

 

Maternity Panties

Comfy panties are key in pregnancy. We have a nice selection of maternity briefs.

If you prefer to have a lower cut panty that will hit right under your belly, consider a bikini.
