changing shape

Your shape is going to change during your pregnancy, but for first-time mums especially, it is hard to know what to expect.

That’s why Blooming Marvellous maternity wear is the key to still looking good: you can choose clothes that will flatter your bump without being baggy elsewhere.

changes you can expect include:

  • Your overall weight will increase as your body will lay down fat stores, preparing for breastfeeding, whether you plan to breastfeed or not, so look for your thighs and bottom to increase in size too.
  • Your breasts will also become larger so make sure you wear an appropriate bra. We can help you find the right size bra, just check our handy size guide for measuring tips, or visit one of our shops and take advantage of our professional bra fitting service.
  • Your shape changes over the nine months too, from a neat, small bump when you first start to show, to a bump about level with your belly button by 24 weeks and midway between your belly button and ribs by about 30 weeks. After that, it is onwards and outwards!

When looking for maternity wear, buy your pre-pregnant size, as we have made sure these have been cut for a woman of your size who is pregnant.

At Blooming Marvellous we offer different lengths for many skirts, trousers and dresses, look for shorter if you are under 5ft 3, standard if you are between 5ft 3 and 5ft 7 and longer if you are over 5ft 7.
