Pregnancy is a time in a women’s life that is full of ups and downs. Your body changes more than usual over the 9 month period and then it carries on being different for the next few years (unless you are one of the lucky women who snap back to the size 10 an hour after giving birth!).

A lot of clothing catalogues that show underwear for pregnant women is a pretty dull beige coloured supportive looking thick fabric. Not the sexiest of garments for certain. You may not be feeling sexy, which is fine – you certainly don’t want to wear those knitted undergarments though!!

As your body changes, you will need to ensure that it is supported correctly, and properly designed (and fitted) lingerie can help here too.  If done right you will find that the pregnancy underwear that you choose can stop you feeling as tired or strained as it will provide support in just the right places.

Below you will find some great stores that sell maternity lingerie that is sexy, comfortable and supportive – not an extravagance, a necessity.

p.s.Can you imagine, above everything else you have to go through whilst pregnant, wearing itchy knitted supportive (or not!)  under garments – simply because that’s what one does when one is pregnant!
