Learning the news that there's a bun in the oven is a good enough reason for you to want to go out and purchase all the maternity clothes you've been fancying about- but is it the best idea? A lot of women are unsure of the right time to begin searching and purchasing maternity apparel. The book pregnancy miracle is also the best guideline for this.

However, we do know that it is time to begin purchasing maternity clothing when:

Your "Regular" clothing becomes uncomfortable. During pregnancy, the average healthy woman gains between 25 to 35 pounds; which means, at some point her pre-pregnancy clothing will no longer fit as it should. When your favorite jeans have begun to fit a bit too snuggly in the abdominal area, it is time to set them aside and shop for a new favorite pair!

Maternity clothing has come a long way in recent years. Designer maternity clothing lines have recreated your wardrobe staples into comfortable Mommy-to-be pieces. Pregnant women can easily find camper shorts, bermuda shorts, capri's, leggings, flowing skirts, dress pants, khakis, linen pants and dresses. They have been designed with stretch waistbands, to fit comfortably as your midsection grows.

During the beginning months of your first pregnancy, I recommend that you only purchase a few pieces to comfortably accommodate your slight curves. As your body begins to change shape, you will need to expand your wardrobe. If you have already given birth then you will probably have a better idea of how your body will develop with baby, and may be able to purchase pregnancy pieces, accordingly. A good technique generally in buying maternity clothes is to do so in phases, meaning choosing wears according to body development. This helps to avoid wasting money on dresses you will not be able to wear.

When shopping for maternity, many women are drawn toward the latest trends. These women should be considering three major things: luxury, security, and fashion. Luxurious clothing is stylish and comfortable. This will allow mommy-to-be to feel good about herself and her new curves, and most importantly good in her clothes. Securely fitting clothing reassures mommy-to-be that she is well covered, and they enable her to move and do confidently. Fashion allows you to express your personal style in her clothing while showing off baby bump.

So when shopping for maternity in phases, remember your checklist: luxury, security, and fashion! Have fun showing off your new clothes in style!
