Pregnancy and the postpartum period is a special time for any woman who requires some attention in all areas. As a rule, it is during this period that Mommy is most often at home, in a warm and cozy atmosphere.
To maintain comfort, it is necessary to choose the right pajamas for a pregnant or already giving birth woman.
Features
The choice of pajamas is rather simple at first glance, but in order to acquire the correct and most convenient model, the future mother should pay attention to the following features:
- natural fabrics - It is extremely important for pregnant women and those who have recently given birth that the skin comes into contact exclusively with natural, "breathing" materials that will not cause discomfort, will not provoke allergies, and generally make you feel more comfortable;
- style - nightgown should not hold down movement while walking, sleeping or feeding a child. It is necessary to choose models of free fit with a reserve, since if you buy a nightie in the first months of pregnancy, then by the end of the term you will definitely need a model several sizes larger;
- the presence of a pocket or a special slot for the chest - One of the main features of models for pregnant women. Thus, you can safely feed the child in the maternity hospital and at home, hiding the chest from prying eyes. In addition, in the cold season, the slot will allow not to bare the back, abdomen, shoulders and arms;
- supporting effect - besides the fact that homewear for pregnant women should be comfortable, it is extremely important that the feeding pockets have a supporting effect on the breast. So it will be possible to further protect such a delicate part of the body from sagging.
Pajamas for pregnant women
In stores you can find a large assortment of different models for expectant mothers.
In general, it is possible to divide all the options into several categories:
- night shirts;
- nightgowns with bathrobe;
- shirt or shirt with pants;
- sets with a bathrobe.
Night shirts - the easiest option, which can vary in length and cut. Does not constrain movement, however in such pajamas hardly you will be able to appear before strangers.
Nightgowns with a bathrobe - a more advanced model with a bathrobe. As a rule, the best choice for the hospital.
A shirt with pants is a home outfit, it can be presented both in summer and in winter, depending on the materials used. It is very convenient, as it is possible to walk around the house both day and night. Pockets on the pants will always keep the most necessary small things with them.
Complete sets with a dressing gown - an outfit matched to the tone, is suitable for especially frosty, as well as for those who do not want to take a long shirt to the hospital.
Fabric and color
When choosing a home set it is important to pay attention to the fabric and shade of the item being purchased. It should be borne in mind that during and after pregnancy various functions of the body are slightly impaired: sweating increases, thermoregulation worsens, the skin becomes more sensitive.
It is because of this, the basic requirements for the material:
- hygroscopicity;
- lack of electrified;
- the presence of air circulation;
- thermal conductivity;
- quick drying;
- easy ironing
Such requirements are best met by materials such as knitwear, cotton, silk. It is better not to choose silk models: this fabric does not stretch, therefore, it can hold down movements.
