What do I need to know about buying maternity clothes and what should I buy first?

Depending on where you buy your clothes and from whom, you can probably get away with buying clothes twice during your pregnancy. Try to buy from knowledgeable sales staff who’ve had children and understand about fit. If you find yourself stranded in a store without much help, look for the following: make sure the clothes fit you with room to spare in the hips and thighs, or upper arms and bust.

Some Must Haves:

- a wrap sweater

- classic t-shirt

- black stretch pants

- men’s style button-down shirt
