When it comes to dressing during pregnancy, comfort and style are the key essentials and bring up many challenges. But what feels right in week 8 may feel wrong by week 12. And what perfectly matches your curves in the beginning of your second trimester may become rather indecent by the end of your pregnancy.
Read on for tips for a great look no matter how big your bump become.
Challenge 1: Keeping your pregnancy under wraps. Many women do not want to tell their growing secret to anyone until at least the second semester. For some women, it is also considered as bad luck to announce it until after you were out of the first trimester.
What to do: Go to your closet and put everything aside that might be too tight. Look for silhouettes that flow over your belly, hips, and thighs that can cover the additional pounds you will gain in the first months. Wear soft knits, wrap shirts and dresses.

Challenge 2: Limited Budget. You feel like every few weeks you reached a new size and don't want to blow your budget on new clothes.
What to do: Invest in items that will grow with you. Look for pieces that let you adjust your clothing as your body grows and changes, such as bottons at the side or tie-backs. Fashion consultancy services are familar with these issues and can help you finding stylish clothes for a small budget.
Challenge 3: Your boobs are busting out. Most women's breasts will increase by at least two cup sizes during pregnancy.
What to do: It is time to invest in a really good bra. You should consider the comfort and expandability of maternity or nursing bras instead of buying just a bigger size of your favorite bras.

What to do: It is all about wrap dresses. You will look great for the office and be comfortable for everything that comes after office hours. As your bump grows and grows immensely, simply change where you place the tie.
