Hello Dynamic folks! I hope you are all doing amazingly well?
So many women think it’s practically impossible to look great and fashionable while pregnant for so many reasons, which may or may not be true depending on their circumstances.
Any woman who has been pregnant before, once or many times will and do have the right to have a say in this because they’ve experienced it, or heard from someone. But i will be giving you tips on how to look great and fashionable while pregnant.
I know morning sickness amongst other things puts some pregnant women off really badly. Because you feel sick, tired, nauseous, bloated, angry, irritable, name it. You don’t feel like yourself with morning sickness.
That said, today’s post is about looking great and fashionable while pregnant and i have put together a few tips to help you look your best during your pregnancy.
Advice for Looking great while pregnant
Make up your mind to Look good– You have to make a decision to look great and fashionable while pregnant in order to do that, you need to overlook the weight gain, the swollen feet, the stretch marks and sometimes the occasional tiredness that comes with being pregnant and step out everyday looking your best.
Appreciate your body – Your body will normally go through changes with pregnancy, weather it bounces back to normal or not shouldn’t be your worry while pregnant. For some, these thoughts occupy their mind all through pregnancy and this rips them off the joy of actually being pregnant.
Forget about the sretch marks, use the appropriate ointments to help. I use bio oil and Mama moi
Make a conscious Effort to Look Great– As with everything in life, to make it work, a conscious, deliberate, consistent effort is required. It’s not magic, we need to work at a few things.
Put in the Effort -Putting in effort means trying, giving yourself a chance to make progress, make a headway and surely if you try hard enough, you’ll be happy you did.
Make it work – Show yourself some love, go for morning walks, a trip to the gym if you are used to doing that, a day out in the park, appreciating nature or a day out in town, a spa day with friends, sad lockdown has limited our fun options but we go what we gotta do.
Remember, looking great starts from feeling great. Cut yourself some slack, relax and chill sometimes too 😌
Achieve It – Now, get up, do you, be you, stay you and take a break when you need to.
Easy Tips on how to Look Great and fashionable
Buy your usual size- This is one mistake new mums make. All mums, i made this same mistake (i blame it on the lockdown ) too but to avoid that, try on the items in store if you can, know your size in different shops too that way you buy a good fit. As we know, maternity pieces are designed to fit the growing bump and enlarging breasts which are considered in the designs.
Buy Adaptable styles– Remember, quality over quantity is key. You only need a few good maternity pieces while pregnant. Look out for stretchy dresses, drawstring waisted pants or skirts, wrap around blouses or dresses that you could still wear while nursing or breastfeeding.

In ways that makes you love you more and in the way that elevates your confidence, your day and your new body. Do you agree? let me know in comments ☺
Wear Comfort – With pregnancy, comfort is key, specially when it comes to what you wear. While pregnant, wearing tight clothes can be uncomfortable for you and your baby, however wearing extra loose clothes isn’t an obligation, except that’s what comfort means to you. So, do you! Totally acceptable. Let me know if you agree in comments 😊
Maternity outfits are great, to fit the bump and accomodate the growing parts of the body during pregnancy. Let me know what maternity items you’re currently loving in comments? 🤔
Wear Colours– Wearing colours lift your mood and make you feel more confident and vibrant. I totally agree. Try wearing colours, even when you think your crap at wearing colours. You’ll look great.👍Tell me how this goes in the comments 😉
Step out Elegantly & Confidently– If you follow these few tips I’ve given above on how to look great while pregnant, you will have no reason not to step out in confidence. Remember, you are the star 🌟 take your place and shine..
Invest in a good blazer/coat– A good blazer or coat is perfect for throwing over what ever your wearing, that way, even if you don’t feel like making the effort to put a good look together, the blazer or coat still elevates the look, giving you a fashionably pregnant look. Jazz up your outfit with great accessories too which will serve as welcome distractions from the bump. Styling videos here here here
