How to Build a Maternity Capsule Wardrobe with Pregnancy Clothing Essentials

Putting together this blog post was like a walk down memory lane from the last 4 years. I am a mama to two little ones and I recently wrapped up my second pregnancy. My maternity style consisted of a mix of comfort essentials, pieces from trendy maternity lines and non-maternity clothes that I was still able to wear and style with a baby bump.

Dressing for pregnancy was definitely more of a challenge than I expected. I'm not gonna lie, I definitely had days were I just felt so uncomfortable and all I wanted to wear was leggings and an oversized sweatshirt. But with some creativity and trial and error I found some staple pieces that I wore over and over again through both pregnancies.

In this blog post I get into the weeds of the challenges of maternity dressing and I explain how investing in a maternity capsule collection can help you get dressed everyday with a growing bump. I hope that you will find my story informative and relatable because let's be real, pregnancy isn't always a walk in the park.

The Postpartum Wardrobe Shopping Guide

Getting dressed after having a baby is a new kind of experience. Your big prego bump is gone but your body isn't the quite the same as it was before. You secretly hope that your pre-pregnancy clothes will still fit, but in my case they certainly did not. My daughter was born on May 25th and I am currently 7 weeks postpartum. Not only am I carrying some extra weight, but the shape of my hips and waist have changed. Needless to say, it was time to hit the mall and do some shopping.

A Guide to Self-Care During Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a time filled with so many mixed emotions. For first time mothers you’re feeling both joy and anxiety on how you’ll handle motherhood. In addition to all the emotional stresses, we also deal with physical changes and discomforts. There’s a lot going on in those 9 months!

Self-care is vital at this time of pregnancy, because when the baby is born life gets even more hectic. During postpartum with a newborn you’ll be super sleep deprived, stressed and have much less time to take care of yourself.

This blog post is filled with my personal tips and experiences from my own pregnancy with my daughter.
