During pregnancy, the most important thing for a woman is comfortable clothing. Things should not pull on your stomach; in addition, practicality is important. Most pregnant women want to purchase one set of clothes so as not to spend too much money.
Popular among expectant mothers are jeans and overalls with elastic inserts and side buttons, which help expand the clothing and wear it until childbirth. What is better, overalls or jeans? Let's look at all the details.
Most maternity stores offer a wide selection of jeans. All models have a loose fit, are made of high-quality fabric, good denim. The abdomen is supported by a special elastic band, which can support the abdomen from below or completely cover it. Some models have a low waist, and the tight insert only supports the lower tummy. This is convenient only in the early stages of pregnancy, when the fetus is small.
Only a wide band can hold a huge belly.When choosing jeans, pay attention to the elastane content. Models with an elastane percentage of at least 30 are easy to remove. In addition, jeans with an elastic insert can be worn after childbirth, until the figure regains its previous shape. In warmer months, jeans can be worn with light T-shirts or loose T-shirts. In winter, they go well with thick turtlenecks, woolen sweaters and cardigans.
IMPORTANT! During the cold season, wearing clothes that reveal the stomach is not allowed, so all sweaters must be long.
Overalls for pregnant women
Overalls for pregnant women are made from natural fabrics. Thick denim is used for winter, thinner materials are used for summer. Most models are decorated with prints, interesting embroidery, and rhinestones. The length of the trousers varies from long “to the floor” to shortened ankles. Therefore, the expectant mother can choose a jumpsuit to her liking. Pros of this clothing:
- comfortable cut;
- wide range of colors;
- good combination with other clothes;
- elastic inserts that support the abdomen;
- wide straps that prevent the overalls from sliding down;
- dense material protects the stomach and back from drafts.
Despite the fact that the jumpsuit is comfortable and practical, there is a significant disadvantage that you should be aware of before purchasing this clothing. In the last stages of pregnancy, a woman often goes to the toilet. This is due to the fact that the fetus puts pressure on the bladder and urination occurs several times more often.
Taking off your overalls in the restroom, especially a public one, is inconvenient. In addition, if late pregnancy occurs during the hot season, wearing thick clothes at temperatures of 20–30 degrees is not advisable.Any denim fabric does not allow the skin to breathe, and in overalls not only the legs are covered, but also the stomach, sides and back.
IMPORTANT! If you still decide to buy overalls, choose cotton models for the summer.
What is more comfortable for a pregnant woman in overalls or jeans?
In late pregnancy, it is more comfortable to wear jeans. Are there several reasons for this:
- the cut allows you to feel comfortable and free;
- elastic threads added to the material make it easy to remove jeans if necessary;
- a wide, dense band supports a large belly;
- loose trouser legs do not tighten the legs during swelling;
- Jeans are comfortable to wear with any wide jacket.
Overalls, unlike jeans, are inconvenient to take off. Also, it is not suitable for hot weather. Even the lightest jeans cover most of the body, so there is a chance that you will be hot and uncomfortable. It is difficult to combine a jumpsuit with long flared blouses or sweaters, since the material will have to be tucked inside. Jeans go with any outfit.
Tips for choosing jeans and overalls for pregnant women
When choosing jeans, pay attention that the lower abdomen should not be compressed. Put on your pants and sit on a chair, and you should feel comfortable and comfortable. In late pregnancy, most girls are prone to swelling, so choose loose pants, otherwise you will not be able to wear them. When choosing a jumpsuit, consider the temperature outside at the time you plan to wear it.
For winter, an insulated model, as people say, “with a fleece,” is suitable; for summer, light fabrics are relevant. The elastic insert in the belly area of jeans or overalls should have good stretch, but at the same time be strong enough to support a rounded belly well.Be sure to pay attention to the composition of the material; you will feel more comfortable in natural fabrics, so the percentage of artificial threads should be as small as possible.
