My Maternity Essentials

I have a couple of items that I couldn’t live without during this pregnancy and I thought I’d share them…as 2 out of the 3 are actually non-maternity pieces that I had before.  And just FYI I’m in the middle of my 6th month of pregnancy.

  1. Seamless Tank Top, Kate Boggiano-I had a few of these from pre-pregnancy days and they are still working for me now.  They are long and don’t roll up.  AND they make all your tops smoother so that the line that your maternity pants leave isn’t quite as noticeable.
  2. Maternity Tank Top, Kate Boggiano-I bought one of these this pregnancy, in black, and it works just as well as the regular tank but obviously has a bit more fabric so things aren’t quite so stretched.  I figure this will come in handy at like 8 and 9 months.
  3. Cotton Spandex Jersey Yoga Pant, American Apparel-I bought two pairs of these back when I had just had my first born and wore the heck out of them in those first few months.  You can roll the waistband down or wear it up.  Right now I’m wearing it up…it’s almost like a full panel maternity pant in that way.  And the length might work well for those of you that are tall…I’m 5’4 and they are pretty long on me.  These are a mainstay when I’m at home, I probably wouldn’t wear these out of the house unless by wearing them out of the house you mean walking to get the mail…then yes I do wear them out of the house.
