Here are some tips when buying maternity clothes. They have been taken from a survey that was taken late 2014.

“The style that I find to be the best for me right now (13.5 weeks) is the ‘underbelly’ or ‘no belly’ styles.” – Jo

“The advice I’ve had from friends is that the full belly panel ends up being the best, so that’s what I’ve gone with. I don’t plan on having separate second and third trimester clothes. Roll panel is nice, because right now I can fold it over and that seems to work well.” – Susan

“I really like the roll-panel for earlier on, but I need the support of a full-panel in later pregnancy — the others feel like they dig into my stomach.” – Michelle

“I have a lot of half panel styles, but the half panel jeans constantly fall down. I tried on full panel and loved them!” – Pamela

“I have some hidden tab jeans which I love because they looked like real jeans. I can loosen them as I get bigger and I think they’ll be good after the baby is born.” – Vande
