Maternity designers are gearing up for Spring, and popping out all sorts of new trends. The one that seems to be getting the most (negative) attention is the one-piece maternity jumpsuit. Granted, it may be comfortable (nothing pulling around your midsection) but even the most beautiful non-pregnant gal will have a hard time looking good in a jumpsuit. And, as My hormones made me do it points out, Pregnant Girl who has to pee every 5 seconds has no time for a jumpsuit!

Cool T’s: When the weather starts to heat up, you’ll want some fun, comfy T-shirts to brighten up your outfit. The bright colors, draping, and graphics on these T’s keeps them from being boring!
T-shirts from the Gap
Eye-popping Prints: Dress your bump in flashy florals and bright geometric designs. Let your wardrobe energize you this spring season!
If you can’t wear short shorts because you feel the need to wear compression stockings for dvt or just aren’t that thrilled with your ankles, then maybe jeans are a better choice.

Hi, mom of 2 kids here 4 and almost 2 years old with another on the way due in July. My maternity wardrobe is looking like it’s been through 2 pregnancies (actually 4 if you consider many of the hand me down pieces). Anyways, looking to fill some gaps and wondering what the story is on leggings this year. Seems like they were so hot with tunics last year and now?? Could be cute or could be stuck in ’09 what do you think?

Don’t forget to feel fabulous at bedtime with the little black dress nursing gown by Amamante Nursingwear. Color conscious? Try plum, turqoise, red, or chocolate!
