Is it ok to wear shapewear while pregnant?
Some people may think that wearing shapewear while pregnant could affect your pregnancy and the comfort you will be in.
The truth is, shapewear (such as shapewear dresses) is a fantastic wardrobe addition which can make you feel more confident, as well as comfortable during your pregnancy. If anything feels uncomfortable or doesn't sit right, try sizing up for a better fit around your belly.
What clothing should I avoid during my pregnancy?
You should avoid anything that is too tight during your pregnancy that will feel uncomfortable. This includes tight belts, wired bras and knee socks, as these potentially cause problems and won't be convenient during maternity.
