What - Underwear for maternity is often supportive, stretchy and super comfortable! With your body constantly growing and changing, you need underwear that adapts and moulds to you, whilst encouraging you to get on with day to day life. Leaky boobs on the brain? Nursing bras in pregnancy can give the option to add breast pads if desired, to allow you to soak up any little leaks you may have, in the build up to meeting your little one. Maternity underwear is designed to fit your growing bump, will stay in place better and feel more comfortable than your regular underwear. What’s more, with standard undies, you may find that the waistband feels too tight or hits in an uncomfy spot as your pregnancy progresses, unlike with maternity underwear designed to grow with you. Seraphine for sure. I still wear my maternity tops from there even though my youngest is now two.” (Vetted by Mumsnet user Alabaster1) Our verdict Being pregnant and staying comfortable doesn’t mean you have to compensate on style. Gone are the days when maternity wear was all floaty dresses and billowing blouses. Most modern maternity lines cater not just for a range of occasions, but for a range of styles too. From ripped jeans and leopard print to tunics and tea dresses, we’ve found the best maternity ranges to keep you feeling comfortable and stylish during every trimester and beyond.I bought the spandex/no show undies from Victoria’s Secret/Pink.

What is comes down to, is personal preference. Do you want an underwire maternity bra? Or are you a seam free, tag free kinda gal? The options are endless, and most maternity bras can also be used for breastfeeding too!

And even if your regular undies still fit, they’ll likely stretch out as your bump grows, so maternity underwear can help you save your good, non-preggo pairs for later down the line. Not to mention, maternity underwear isn’t just for when you're expecting — moms in the What to Expect community report that they’re great to have on hand during the postpartum period, too. Types of maternity underwear Remember that you’ll need pants that you can use maternity pads with because of the bleeding (lochia) you’ll get after birth. This bleeding can last for several weeks. Underwear for after caesareansSo, while you probably won’t need maternity underwear for the first few months, you might want to have some ready to go once you hit your third trimester. I have lived in these undies since 20wks and I’m currently 35 wks! Soo comfy and gives me some belly support too!"
