Pieces
Dressing a pregnant you is much different than dressing a regular you. A high wasted jean and short crop top shirt just doesn't look as appealing on a baby bump. But different doesn't have to mean stressful! Stick to items that flatter and accentuate your baby bump. Whether its a peplum top or a tight dress the outfit should hug your baby bump and give you a fitted silhouette. A roomier dress also works, but add a belt or a sash. You don't want people question whether or not you are pregnant or just had a few too many burritos. So show off that baby bump!
