Pregnancy and the postpartum period is a special time for any woman, which 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 given birth woman.
Features
The choice of pajamas is at first glance quite simple, but in order to get the right and most convenient model for a future mother, you should pay attention to the following features:
- natural fabrics - it is extremely important for pregnant women and recently given birth that the skin comes into contact exclusively with natural, "breathing" materials that will not cause discomfort, will not provoke allergies, and will generally make you feel more comfortable;
- style - The nightgown should not hamper movement while walking, sleeping or feeding the baby. It is necessary to choose models of loose fit with a margin, since if you buy a nightie in the first months of pregnancy, then by the end of the period you 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 baby in the hospital and at home, hiding the chest from prying eyes. In addition, in the cold season, the slot will allow not to expose once again the back, stomach, shoulders and arms;
- supporting effect - Besides the fact that home clothes for pregnant women should be comfortable, it is imperative that the pockets for feeding have a supportive effect for the breast. So it will be possible to further protect such a delicate part of the body from sagging.
Maternity pajamas
In stores you can find a wide range of different models for expectant mothers.
In general, it is possible to divide all the options into several categories:
- night shirts;
- nightgowns with a bathrobe;
- shirt or shirt with pants;
- sets with a bathrobe.
Nightgowns are the easiest option, which can vary in length and cut. It does not constrain movement, however, in such pajamas you are unlikely to 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 - a home outfit, can be presented in both summer and winter versions, depending on the materials used. It is very convenient, since you can walk around the house in it, day or night. Pockets on the pants allow you to constantly keep the most necessary small things with you.
Complete sets with a dressing gown - an outfit matched to the tone, suitable for those especially cold, as well as for those who do not want to take a long shirt to the hospital.
Fabric and color
When choosing a home kit, it is important to pay attention to the fabric and shade of the purchased product. It should be borne in mind that during and after pregnancy, various body functions are slightly impaired: sweating increases, thermoregulation worsens, the skin becomes more sensitive.
It is because of this that the basic requirements for the material:
- hygroscopicity;
- lack of electrification;
- 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: such a fabric does not stretch, therefore, it can hamper movements.
How to choose maternity pajamas
Quite a lot depends on the right choice of pajamas. First of all, pajamas should fulfill their functions, insulate, hide unnecessary, and also should not create discomfort. Expectant mothers should especially carefully pay attention to the requirements that are presented by the hospital.
Some institutions put forward their own parameters for pajamas and overall appearance, although in general, both those who have already given birth and those who are expecting, need to rely on the following when choosing:
1. Size - it is worthwhile to understand that choosing pajamas for a pregnant woman and just for a girl are two different things. Size plays a huge role, especially after the birth of a baby, when breastfeeding increases and any tightness can cause pain, discomfort and even a decrease in milk. Therefore, it is advisable to choose options from stretching materials, or at least one size larger.
2. Quality - in no case save on pajamas. Moms spend quite a lot of time in it. Make your choice exclusively on hypoallergenic materials that are comfortable for you.
3. The presence of slots for feeding is an extremely important factor. For the most part, this is what distinguishes regular pajamas from pregnant pajamas.
4. The presence of supporting inserts - especially necessary for girls who have a predisposition to stretch marks.
In order to facilitate the choice and generally combine all of the above, we will present the three most successful options for pajamas.
