You’re only pregnant for a short amount of time, so spending a lot of money on maternity wear seems extravagant to say the least! Especially when there’s so much to buy in preparation for baby’s arrival!
Which is perhaps why there seems to be a chronic lack of choice when it comes to style. But never fear! We’ve picked out our top maternity buys – style for every occasion, at prices that won’t break the bank! Check out our faves below…
Nightwear
My absolute favourite has to be the pink shorts nursing set! So soft and feminine – but super practical too! The reviews are all fantastic – and it’s only £10!!
The navy polka heart pj set is perfect if you prefer long legs! Super soft and comfy, with plenty of room for bump too! The adjustable straps ensure a comfortable fit, and there are clip fastenings so you can let either cup down to feed baby!
If you prefer not to have anything around your waist, the ‘Yummy Mummy’ nightdress from ASOS* is a fab option! They have a brilliant collection of maternity nightwear, with styles to suit all tastes.
In fact, the floral pj’s are also from there. I love the print, and they look so comfortable! They’d be perfect for your hospital bag!
