Congratulations! You made it to the second trimester, also known as the “honeymoon phase” of pregnancy. Most women are past the morning sickness phase, actually look pregnant instead of just bloated and can really enjoy this special time in their lives. Check out our do’s and don’ts to stay stylish during this fun time.

Do wear bump-hugging clothes to show off your beautiful new curves.

Don’t try to squeeze yourself into non-maternity clothes that no longer fit. Not only will you be uncomfortable, but wearing too small clothes will actually make you look bigger.

Do maintain your natural sense of style. If you loved Boho tops and jeans before you were pregnant, you can still wear those same hip clothes (check out Gap maternity). If you wore clothes that were tailored, you can continue to wear maternity clothes that give you a polished look (check out IsabellaOliver.com for some great tailored looks).

Don’t wait to buy maternity clothes. If your regular clothes are fitting tight, now is the time to buy clothes that are designed to fit your new curves. Look for tie-backs, side-shirring — adjustable clothes — that will ensure they fit throughout your pregnancy.
