You are pregnant! Congratulations! Now what? Before you rush off to the maternity boutique to stock up on clothes, here is a checklist of what you will need for each trimester.

Trimester One: Starting to show…
Belly Band: This is great when you are in the too-small-for-maternity clothes, yet too-big-for-your-regular clothes stage.
Maternity Bra: Most women notice increased fullness around 8 weeks of pregnancy, so buy a supportive bra for comfort.
Jeans: Because a great pair of jeans can be expensive, buy a pair that will grow with you to get the most bang for you buck.

Trimester Two: Finally! You are showing…
Maternity Pants: Look for a pair that will grow with you through the next trimester
Dresses: Buy a couple of sundresses and flattering wrap dresses
Empire-waist shirts and fitted tees to show off your bump
Skirts/shorts with stretchy waistband

Trimester Three: Is it time, yet?
Nursing Bra: Your maternity bra you bought in trimester one may be getting tight; now is a good time to buy a nursing bra.
Clothes without waistlines: Wear dresses, tunic tops with leggings or pants with an underbelly cut to stay comfortable.
