Maternity Intimates Provide Comfort and Functionality

Pregnancy is an exciting time for most new parents. However, while a new mom might welcome the experiences that accompany pregnancy, that does not mean that the symptoms and physical changes are always pleasant. Pregnant women, above all, want to be as comfortable as possible. Because intimate apparel provides the foundation for overall comfort, as well as the fit of other clothing, maternity intimates are an important part of any pregnancy wardrobe.

Because most of the changes a pregnant woman experiences happen in her torso area, bras and panties are the most important pieces of maternity intimate apparel. A pregnant belly goes from completely normal to the size of a large watermelon over the course of an average pregnancy and normal panties may not adequately accommodate this growth as the pregnancy progresses. Maternity underwear is designed specifically to offer coverage and support to the pregnant mom. The maternity and nursing bra is also an important part of keeping pregnant women covered. Most women gain several breast sizes over the course of pregnancy. If the mom plans to breastfeed, select one of the many maternity nursing bras that Sears offers; this allows mom to easily transition to breastfeeding once the baby arrives. Otherwise, a supportive bra that is a size or two bigger than your pre-pregnancy size is appropriate.

While bras and panties provide the intimate foundation for your pregnant shape, there are other intimates that can make your life easier as pregnancy progresses. At some point in a pregnant mom's life, it is likely that she will need to dress up a bit. Any pregnant mom that has tried to wear regular pantyhose will tell you that there is nothing so annoying as having the belly panel roll down at an inconvenient moment. Maternity pantyhose are designed much like maternity panties, providing a full-coverage front panel that stretches with you and keeps up with your growing belly. Maternity pantyhose also provide a bit of extra support, which is especially appreciated for moms who are at the end of their pregnancy. Maternity pantyhose will not ride down or create an uncomfortable experience for the mom.

Every pregnant mom wears bras, panties and pantyhose. However, many women overlook the one piece of maternity intimate-wear that can make their lives easier and more comfortable. As a pregnant woman's stomach swells, it introduces an enormous amount of weight onto her pelvic area. This can create pain and discomfort, as well as contribute to some minor pregnancy complications. Having a quality maternity support belt is a lifesaver to many moms. These belts evenly distribute pregnancy weight and remove stress from the pelvic floor. Once the baby is born, they can also be adapted to provide support for the still-awkward belly while it shrinks back to a more normal size.
