4 Cheeky Choices for Ultimate Pregnancy Comfort

The shops are full of stylish maternity clothes, with no shortage of office wear, skinny jeans and bodycon dresses. But for those nights when you just want to chill out, get the comfort you crave with these cheeky choices.

1. 1. Joggers – Even if you have never worn a pair of jogging bottoms in your life, you will find yourself longing to being able to take off your tight denim jeans and slip into a pair of soft cosy joggers. Follow Jessica Simpson’s example when heavily pregnant with her second child, and leave the drawstring waistband nice and loose for ultimate comfort.If it’s relaxation with easy care you’re after, you’ll find it with a polyester and cotton blend. The more polyester they contain, the less ironing you’ll have to do!
   2. Sleep bras – If you’ve had a long day and need to curl up on the sofa, don’t wait until bedtime to embrace the unbeatable comfort of a maternity sleep bra. Daytime maternity bras are usually pretty comfortable but most expectant mums agree – sleep bras are in a league of their own.The most comfortable sleep bras are cotton with a little elastane or spandex, and can be pulled on easily. There is a time and a place for lace and underwiring but this isn’t it!
   3.  A pregnancy pillow – There are several pregnancy pillows on the market now, each designed to provide body-length support. These giant curly sausages of pillows come in a variety of shapes but, whichever one you like the look of, it should offer you new levels of comfort for your back, tummy and hips.Pregnancy pillows remain useful after the birth of your baby, as they can double up as supportive nursing pillows and later as a baby nest and plaything. You can also roll them around to form a cosy little chair for a toddler, so you can enjoy the sublime comfort they provide during pregnancy knowing they will later be enjoyed by your little one, too.
   4. Onesies – It’s not only children who can enjoy the comfort and joy of a good onesie. Since last December, when fashion giant New Look reported selling one every three seconds, sales of onesies for adults have continued to boom. Wearing one is said to be like ‘being inside a teddy bear’s womb’, and, for pregnant women, the onesie offers a level of comfort that no other item of clothing can offer. In warmer weather, opt for a light cotton or cotton and polyester blend, while winter pregnancies call for warm and cuddly soft fleece.

Remember, being pregnant is one of the few times in your life you have total permission to take it easy. So hire or download a chick flick, fix yourself a non-alcoholic cocktail and some snacks, get in your onesie or joggers with your pregnancy pillow and enjoy!
