My experience with these lace maternity thongs has been quite positive. The durable lace material stretches comfortably to fit my changing body, and the seamless design keeps me feeling stylish and confident in my favorite outfits. I appreciate the flattering v-shaped waistband and the fact that they're made in the USA with low-impact dyes, ensuring they're safe for me to wear. While the support may not be as strong as some other options, the overall comfort and style make these thongs a great addition to my maternity wardrobe. When to Start Wearing Maternity Underwear Nothing will give you a better sense of whether something is worth buying than an honest, unbiased review from a real parent. That’s why our first port of call is always the Mumsnet forums where we trawl the Talk boards to find out what our Mumsnetters are recommending. Expert opinions I bought a pair of Love Luna from Sainsbury's... I've found them very comfy, and they stay feeling dry."(Tried and tested by Mumsnet user PolkadotsAndMoonbeams) Our verdict A bra in pregnancy is designed to cater to your growing breasts, whilst keeping you feeling supported and comfortable.

Maternity clothes can split opinion - some say they aren't necessarily, others have a wardrobe full. It's worth noting that maternity clothes have been specially designed with the changing pregnancy body in mind, and therefore will be able to accommodate a growing bump more comfortably than regular clothes. The brand is also on a mission to combat fast fashion and have made a commitment to creating quality sustainable and ethical clothing, meaning the majority of their maternity range will last you throughout your pregnancy and beyond. So, whilst you may pay a little more for pieces in this range, it might be worth it if you want clothes that are guaranteed to last. However, the world of maternity wear has come on in leaps and bounds since the days of unflattering tent-dresses, and we're confident our guide has something for everyone, whether your preference is soft, stretchy leggings, on-trend maternity jeans or sophisticated work-wear. Is 12 weeks too early for maternity clothes? As you enter your final weeks, you might prefer to wear light-colored maternity underwear. These styles let you more easily spot any discharge, including your bloody show, which is the telltale sign that baby will make his appearance into the world soon.

It’s worth having old pants on hand for after the birth that you don’t mind throwing away. (You’ll see what we mean.) You could also do this for for the end of pregnancy when your waters might break or you might have a show – the mucus plug coming away. It depends on how often you want to do laundry. A minimum of seven pairs is a good idea if you want to do a weekly wash, but since pregnant women may have more vaginal discharge and may experience urinary incontinence, you may want to get more so you're covered in case you need to change more than once a day. It really is up to you when you decide to start wearing them, but as soon as your normal underwear starts feeling uncomfortable, I definitely recommend you make the switch. As much as you want some comfort, you'll also need that extra absorbency and protection. First and foremost, choose maternity underwear that’s comfortable and feels good on your body. With extra weight and increased hormones, many moms-to-be find that cotton underwear is more breathable (read: less sweaty).
