When Should You Start Shopping for Maternity Clothes?

Finding out you're pregnant can be one of life's most exciting moments. As you begin this incredible journey, there's so much to plan and prepare for, including your maternity wardrobe. Knowing when to start shopping for maternity clothes can help you stay comfortable and confident throughout your pregnancy journey.
Most women begin transitioning to maternity clothes between weeks 12-18 of pregnancy, though this timeline can vary. Early pregnancy symptoms may make you want to wear comfortable clothes sooner. Some people might not need maternity wear until later in their second trimester.
We recommend shopping early so you have maternity clothes ready when you need them.
