Do I need Maternity Nighties?

Well, you could wear oversized non-maternity nighties in a few sizes bigger, but chances are the sizing for the shoulders and sleeves will be off proportion and too big. 
Maternity nighties are designed to accommodate the baby bump, while keeping the proportions of the maternity sleepwear intact.


How about maternity pajamas? 

Maternity nighties win pajamas hands down for 2 good reasons:

• Firstly its much easier to use the toilet without having to pull down and pull up the pajama pants. 

• Secondly, for mums who have undergone or planning to undergo Cesarean Section birth, its best not to have any restrictive parts of clothing (such as the pajama pants elastic band) against the body near the wound area. Loose fitted clothes are recommended.

What do we look for in a maternity nightie?
a. Soft Fabric
b. Breathable Fabric ~ Cotton or cotton blends are best as they keep the body cool too
c. Comfortable ~ Loose and non restrictive
d. Practical ~ Wash and wear fabric, no ironing needed
e. Pretty ~ Nothing drab
f.  Presentable ~ Decent enough when guests visit at the hospital or at home.
g. With Nursing Openings ~ for easy breastfeeding

We love lace. It adds that X-factor to any dress. There is never a better time to wear this fabric then during the year end festivities. 

We are happy to have our new collection of lace dresses just in time for the Christmas season. These beautiful dresses are duo purpose, which means not only can you wear it during your pregnancy, but you can also enjoy wearing them while breastfeeding.

Do check our new category on our website specially for the lace collection.

The Perfect Drape

The artfully draped Aura Dress ~ hides imperfections and so wonderfully soft. In a sophisticated slate grey, you'd glow in this flattering dress. Created with a cross-over draped front, it flatters the figure for instant confidence.

To Nurse: Push aside the drape fold to access the nursing openings in the inner layer.

 

Is Maternity Wear Really Necessary?

Over the past few months, high profiles moms-to-be like Kate Upton have come out with statements that claim maternity clothes to be unnecessary, opting for choices and adaptations to their existing wardrobe that can be extended beyond pregnancy.  While I’m in favor if living on a budget, and stretching your wardrobe as much as possible, I think that turning to maternity wear can provide a great deal of benefits that you may not find at your traditional clothing stores.

Comfort or Cute?

You can look really cute in maternity clothing!  You’ll otherwise be going through the discomfort of pregnancy.  During your pregnancy, it’s best to wear the most comfortable clothing that you can find.  Maternity wear places an emphasis on your expanding baby bump while maintaining the proper proportions for the rest of your body.  Many women tend to just buy clothes a few sizes larger.  This can look sloppy.  Here at Ubermums maternity, we work hard to design maternity wear that wouldn’t look out of place in your normal wardrobe, and can be worn after you’ve had your baby!

Keep in mind that a good deal of maternity clothing is being made with very breathable fabrics, so you’ll not only look incredible, you’ll also feel great!

Rock those Curves Girl!

Mommies-to-be are flaunting their new found figures in well fitted clothing that are miles removed from dumpy maternity smocks that you may have seen in the past.  Form-fitting clothing is simply more flattering than baggy clothes.  Even with the baby bump, you may have some assets that you’d like to show off.  Many women wear tops to show off a pretty decollete and skirts and dresses to flaunt their legs.

You Don't have to Spend a Bomb

With the the costs of strollers, a crib, and things for the new addition to your family, not many of us would want to spend a small fortune on a maternity wardrobe. Ubermums maternity fulfils that by keeping the prices of our stylish maternity wear very affordable.  

Looking Good is Feeling Good

Pregnancy can be one of the most stressful experiences that a woman can go through.  Every little thing that you can do to improve upon that stress, even something as simple as looking nice, is going to benefit both you and your baby.   If you look like a million bucks, you’ll feel like a million bucks (which is good for baby too)!
