Voluminous dressing gowns have long ceased to be relevant among women who are waiting for a baby. Fashion for pregnant women increasingly relies on pants. They are represented by a wide range of styles and are made of a variety of fabrics, while the woman in them feels comfortable and comfortable. This type of clothing is especially in demand in the cold season.
Types of trousers for pregnant women
Pants designed for pregnant women differ from the usual ones in that they have a special elastic insert at the waistline. It is made of soft tissues, pleasant to the touch, well supports the growing stomach, but does not crush it and does not violate the development of the baby.
Depending on the season, there are:
- winter pants for pregnant women, which are additionally insulated on the inside with a fleece or a bike;
- demi-season models sewn from dense fabric, designed specifically for cool weather;
- summer pants made from natural, breathable fabrics such as linen or cotton.
Pants with an elastic insert are most in demand among pregnant women. They perfectly support the stomach, even for a long time. The size of the elastic insert on the trousers is different. It can reach the middle of the abdomen (most models) or completely close it (ending under the chest). In this option, insulated maternity trousers are usually sewn. They will warm the stomach in the cold season.
In addition to trousers with an elastic insert (with a high belt), there are models with a low waist. As a rule, they are intended for the summer time of the year. The waist line in such models runs under the belly, and the pants themselves are held on the body due to the thin elastic belt. Their main advantage is the ability to wear a thing even after childbirth.
How long should I start to wear maternity pants?
More recently, pregnant women tried to buy all clothes in ordinary stores, picking up flared styles of dresses and sweaters two sizes larger. Today, fashion offers expectant mothers to dress in a special way. Dresses, skirts, coats and jackets - all this is created by designers especially for pregnant women, taking into account their changing for 9 months. Comfortable and practical trousers deserve special attention.
For the entire period of pregnancy, a woman will have to buy at least two pairs of trousers. The first need to be purchased at a period of about 16 weeks, when the tummy is just starting to grow. Which model to give preference to: with a lowered or high waist - depends on the season and the chosen style. The second trousers for pregnant women are bought already at the beginning of the 3rd trimester, for a period of about 28-30 weeks. The need to update the wardrobe is associated not only with the growth of the abdomen itself, but with the increase in the volume of the woman's hips. At this time, the old trousers will become tight and uncomfortable.
