What are the requirements for pregnant women to wear clothes? How should pregnant women wear clothes better?

We all know that after a woman becomes pregnant, her body will undergo various changes, especially changes in body shape, so many pregnant mothers will feel troubled about how to dress well and comfortably. There are many kinds of clothes and shoes for pregnant mothers on the market, so is there anything particular about what to wear during pregnancy? Let's take a closer look!

How to dress better for pregnant women

1. Material

Maternity wear made of pure cotton fabric should be the first choice for pregnant mothers, because it is a natural material, absorbs sweat well, is breathable, and is not prone to causing skin allergies.

Of course, others, such as chiffon and velvet, are also good choices.

2. Style

When choosing a style, it is best to choose something simple and generous, not too exaggerated, and not too many decorations. It is also not recommended to buy tight clothes that fit close to the body.

Suspender styles not only make you look younger, but also look cute and can relieve pressure on the abdomen.

3. Color

Choose soft and elegant colors. Don't choose bright colors, such as bright red and orange, because in the late pregnancy, pregnant mothers are prone to tension and anxiety, and too bright colors will increase the stimulation. Elegant colors can reduce the sense of depression.

4. Underwear

When buying bras, in addition to looking at the material and choosing pure cotton that is breathable and comfortable, you also need to look at the style. Try to choose ones with wider shoulder straps to reduce the burden on the back and chest. In addition, the cup should be as large as possible to avoid compressing the nipples. Choose ones with steel supports to better support the weight of the entire breast.

The fabric is the main thing to look at when choosing underwear. Because the vaginal secretions of pregnant mothers will increase during pregnancy, the fabric of the underwear should be soft, breathable, and sweat-absorbent, preferably pure cotton.

The size should also be chosen appropriately. Don’t buy one that is too small, otherwise it will tighten the skin, which will not only make you uncomfortable but will also cause poor blood flow.

5. Shoes

The main principles for pregnant mothers to choose shoes are comfort and safety.

Pregnant mothers' shoes should have a 2-3CM heel. Many people think that flat shoes are the best choice, but in fact, they are not. Flat shoes cannot maintain the arch of the foot to absorb shock and can easily cause muscle and ligament fatigue and muscle damage.

The soles need to be made of non-slip material and have anti-slip patterns to ensure walking safety.

What are the requirements for pregnant women to wear clothes

Regarding underwear and bras , because the breasts will change during pregnancy, you should pay attention to adjusting the bra size. Don't make it too tight to avoid chest tightness and shortness of breath; of course, don't make it too loose either, as it will not support the breasts.

As for underwear , as the belly grows day by day, there are two types of underwear suitable for pregnant women: low-waist and high-waist belly-supporting types. You can choose the one that you are comfortable wearing. It is best to choose pure cotton.

Some pregnant women feel chest tightness when wearing high-waisted belly-supporting underwear, so they choose low-waisted underwear;

Some pregnant women will feel that the area from the navel to the chest is very cold when wearing low-waist underwear, which makes them prone to diarrhea, so they choose high-waisted underwear that supports the abdomen.

Regarding underwear , the skin is more sensitive during pregnancy, especially when stretch marks are about to appear. If the material of the underwear is rough, it may aggravate the itching of the abdomen or cause severe pain in the abdomen.

Especially when your belly button protrudes, it will be very uncomfortable if your clothes rub against your belly button.

For outerwear , choose loose-fitting styles that are easy to put on and take off without too many small accessories.

For outerwear , you can choose ones that support your belly, have adjustment straps, and don’t require a belt.

As for socks , don't wear them too tight to avoid making your feet swollen. During my pregnancy, I almost never wore socks at home except when I went out.

As for shoes , it is best to wear flat heels, elasticity, comfort for walking, and that can be put on and taken off without bending over.

It is best not to wear shoes that require laces. After the late pregnancy, bending over becomes a difficult task. If the shoelaces are loose and your family is not around, it will be difficult to tie the shoelaces.

Whether it is underwear or outerwear, in terms of material, it is best to choose comfortable ones that will not cause allergies, will not shed hair, and have no odor.

It is best to choose underwear and sweaters that have breastfeeding functions when buying during pregnancy so that you can continue to wear them while breastfeeding.

Wash all the clothes you buy before wearing them, especially underwear.

In short, if you are willing to be particular about what you wear during pregnancy, you can choose carefully from head to toe. Generally speaking, comfort should be the main consideration. If you want to take aesthetics into consideration, you will need to spend more time choosing. Of course, custom-made clothes are also possible.

Points to note when dressing for pregnant women

Loose clothes, not ostentatious, showing generosity, decency and stability

Before 3 months of pregnancy, the pregnant mother's abdomen is not yet visible, so it is okay to wear ordinary clothes at this time. After 3 months of pregnancy, the abdomen will gradually become larger, the pregnant mother's waist will become thicker and thicker, and the overall body shape will appear very strong. At the same time, pregnancy will cause the breasts to develop again, and the pregnant mother will feel that the breasts are fuller. So, at this time, it is best to wear loose-fitting maternity dresses, simple and versatile two-piece suits with belly-supporting effects; light colors are preferred; the style is mainly generous, comfortable, and loose. If it is summer, then choose clothes with good sweat absorption and coolness; if it is winter, choose to keep warm.

Stay away from chemical fiber clothing

After a pregnant mother becomes pregnant, her skin will become very sensitive, and most pregnant mothers will be allergic to chemical fiber clothing. For example, close-fitting chemical fiber clothing can easily cause allergies in sensitive areas such as the armpits, back, and arms, often in the form of small red granular rashes. In addition, medication cannot be used at will during pregnancy. If a pregnant mother is allergic and needs medication, it may affect the baby's development and increase the probability of the baby's deformity.

The choice of underwear is very important

After the second trimester, you need to change to suitable underwear, and you need to change it frequently and sterilize it at high temperature (that is, expose it to the sun). It is best to choose high-waisted underwear and belly-supporting underwear during pregnancy. After the second trimester, the abdomen will become larger and heavier, which will slowly compress the bladder. Some pregnant mothers may experience pubic pain. Wearing this kind of high-waisted and belly-supporting underwear can prevent pubic pain during pregnancy and also reduce the feeling of abdominal sinking in pregnant mothers.

Use flat shoes instead of high heels to reduce accidents

After pregnancy, it is not recommended to wear high heels, even if they are slightly high. As the pregnancy weeks increase, the pregnant mother's abdomen will slowly lean forward, and the weight of the whole body will also lean forward. Wearing high heels will make the pregnant mother lose her sense of balance and more likely to fall, which can easily lead to abdominal pain or miscarriage. Therefore, after pregnancy, you should put away your high heels and replace them with flat shoes. Flat shoes can also relieve the pressure on the pregnant mother's feet and prevent falls.
