Finding a balance between functionality and looking chic is hard for any woman to pull off. Not to mention staying on trend if you're so inclined; then there's the colder seasons when looking good is trumped by staying warm.
Add pregnancy to the equation and the idea of style might be (understandably) at the very bottom of your list of priorities.
But fashion brands and outlets have seriously stepped up their maternitywear game, from those specifically geared at moms-to-be like Cherry Melon and Pregeez to those with an extra-cute maternity fashion line like Spree and H&M. Options are endless. Some, like Yummy Mummy Maternity and Me-a-Mama, even design items that you can continue to wear well after baby arrived.
The days of rocking tent-sized dresses are long over!
