For the first three months, most women do not usually require a new maternity wear wardrobe yet. All you probably need in your first trimester is to consider wearing larger bras or loose-fitting clothes for comfort during this period.

Here is a list of ideas on updating your regular clothes to pass off as maternity fashion.

1. Create your pregnancy belly brand

A pregnancy belly band is a popular maternity fashion as it is a soft, stretchy material that is worn over the waist and under the shirt to mask the appearance of unbuttoned or unzipped pants and keep unbuttoned jeans in place. A pregnancy band also supports the lower back and abdomen during pregnancy. You can make a pregnancy belly band by snipping off the top of a tight-fitting and stretchy camisole T-shirt or tank top.

2. Get bra extenders to make your bra last longer

Your breast will grow throughout the pregnancy. You should expect your bra size to change several times. Getting a bra extender will add more inches to your bra and provide more breathing room. They can also add length to your band if the band feels tight. Bra extenders come in different colors and hook options and you can get a bra extender for as low as $5 a pair, online or at your local fabric store. Until your cup size grows and you need a maternity or nursing bra, you can use bra extenders.

3. Check your wardrobe for clothes that can pass off as maternity fashion

For the first trimester, you can check your closets for regular clothes that can pass off as maternity clothes. Search your wardrobe for looser clothing such as tunics, oversized cardigans, maxis, blazers, and clothes with empire waist. This kind of outfit will make you comfortable and can also hide your belly until you are ready to take a pregnancy announcement. You should also shop in your closet for wrap dresses and tops with ties as you can easily adjust them over your belly.

4. Convert your maxi waist skirt into an empire waist maternity skirt

This suggestion is really simple. As your belly begins to bulge, you can’t wear your maxi skirt directly under your bump as it would look unappealing. Instead, style your maxi skirt nicely and turn it into an empire waist maternity skirt by merely pulling the skirt above your baby bump. You can then polish this look by pairing it with a tucked-in maternity shirt or tank top to make a cute pregnancy outfit. Top the cute outfit up with gorgeous boots or sneakers.

5. Raid your partner’s wardrobe

Suppose your partner’s clothing is bigger than yours; you can borrow clothes from your partner’s wardrobe. For instance, you might pick an oversized button-down shirt and style it differently. You can wear a pregnancy tank top, throw the button-down shirt on it and roll up the sleeves. You also have the option of wearing the oversized shirt and buttoning up, or you could belt just below the bust for a more defined look and then add a pair of maternity leggings for a lovely men-inspired outfit.
