Many maternity styles are actually designed to transition with you throughout every stage of pregnancy and beyond. The Secret Fit Belly® panel on most Motherhood Maternity® pants and jeans offers a smoothing fit, and when worn folded down, it allows a new mom to feel comfortable and supported after baby arrives. Long tops, tunics and cardigans, like pieces from the Wendy Bellissimo collection, work well with leggings and skinny jeans even without a bump.
