Netizen Ms. Liang: I am now 4 months pregnant, and I couldn’t wear some clothes before. How to choose suitable maternity clothes during pregnancy?
The reporter visited some maternal and infant product stores. According to professionals, pregnant women are in a very special period. Choosing the right clothes is not only related to the physical health of pregnant women, but also to the normal growth and development of the fetus. During pregnancy, a woman\’s body will undergo a series of changes, and her waistline will gradually increase. Dressing principles should be loose, comfortable, soft and breathable.
clothing style
Try to choose elegant, loose and comfortable styles. Do not wear corsets or tight underwear, and do not wear leggings or tight, airtight jeans. Choose pants with laces that can be adjusted freely, but don’t tie them too tight. When buying pants in the second trimester, it is better to choose slightly longer ones to avoid shortening the pants due to protruding belly in the later stages of pregnancy. In the later stages of pregnancy, work clothes can be worn. The shoulder straps of overalls are relatively wide, and they can cover up the changing body shape when worn on the body. They are suitable for autumn and winter wear. Loose-fitting T-shirts and long-sleeved sweatshirts are also suitable for pregnant women. Generally, dresses that are wide at the top or narrow at the top and wide at the bottom can make a pregnant woman\’s body shape inconspicuous and make it easy to put on and take off.
Underwear should not stick to your body. It is best to choose loose underwear for maternity that can completely cover the belly and buttocks. If the waist has elastic, it\’s best if it can be adjusted to accommodate your growing waistline.
Clothes texture
Try to choose natural materials that are soft, breathable, warm, and hygroscopic, such as pure cotton, silk, etc. Some chemical fiber fabrics are chemically treated during processing, which may cause discomfort to the skin of pregnant women and should be used as little as possible. In particular, underwear should be made of pure cotton and fabrics that are easy to wash, washable and durable. Freshly bought clothes should be washed with water before use.
clothes color
Wear warm and bright clothes. Dark maternity clothes can easily make you look listless. Generally speaking, red, light blue and light green can make pregnant women look healthy, beautiful and energetic. And beautiful clothes can also affect the mood of pregnant women. There are some small floral patterns on the clothes, which can also divert everyone\’s attention and cover up the protruding belly.
Shoes
It is recommended to wear shoes with wedge heels, no laces, soft uppers and slightly fat shoes. Especially in the later stages of pregnancy, some pregnant women will have edema in their feet, and shoes that are too small will hinder blood circulation. Don\’t wear high heels. Wearing high heels during pregnancy will cause the body\’s center of gravity to tilt forward and lose balance. Many pregnant women think that flat shoes are the best choice, but when walking in flat shoes, the heels usually hit the ground first, which can easily cause fatigue and damage to muscles and ligaments.
