Maternity clothes can be tricky.
When do you need them? Do you REALLY need them?
If you’re like me, you might need two sets! I got so big I need two sets by the time I was full term. #truestory

When do you buy maternity clothes?
Generally, the 2nd trimester is when you want to start looking at maternity clothes. It all depends on how you like your clothes to fit, and how your body is growing, and even your body type.
This can vary so widely. Its very personal.
If you like your clothes to fit tightly, then you’ll probably want a new waistline sooner than later.
If you’re on your second or third pregnancy, your body could pop into preggo mode faster than the first go around.


Hacks for maternity clothes
In the beginning you can finagle it – a rubber band through the button hole of your jeans, or just switching to leggings will do for a while.
A men’s button up with a cinched belt around the waist is also very effective.
My favorite were knit dresses that hit the knee. It got me to the third trimester when it was way too short to be appropriate.


What maternity clothes should I invest in?
You’ll wear your maternity clothes during the 4th trimester…so invest wisely! Here are the items you’ll need quality:
- Leggings
- Jeans
- Versatile dress – casual or dressy
- Light jacket
- 2-3 quality Shirts
You’ll find that every pregnancy is different and you’ll be drawn to different styles with each one. You may live in leggings then only wear dresses the next. Invest in versatile and classic pieces that can be worn over years, but also from early pregnancy through the several months post partum.


Hi, I’m Alison, your chaos coordinator.
As the ringleader of my own 4 boy circus, I know how hard getting family photos can be.
If I could dress your kids and literally hang your family photos on your walls, I would.
…but I can’t, so I do just about everything else in between.
That’s why I take the time to hold your hand from start to finish.
Because what good are family photos if your kids never see them?
