So, while you probably won’t need maternity underwear for the first few months, you might want to have some ready to go once you hit your third trimester. The pretty lace band doesn’t pinch or dig in but adds a pretty touch that makes you feel a bit less ‘medical’, particularly important after a spell in hospital. The pants offer really full coverage, giving you that feeling of comfort and support, and create a slightly smoother silhouette too, with no rumpling, crumpling or sagging. The best maternity underwear will be the pair you won't know you're wearing, from first thing in the morning as you take your prenatal vitamins to relaxing on the sofa with your favourite pregnancy book at the end of the day. They'll accommodate your changing shape all through pregnancy right up to labour (trust us, the last thing you want at that time is a pair of uncomfortable pants digging in, riding up or getting in the way of your TENS machine). Being pregnant and staying comfortable doesn’t mean you have to compensate on style. Gone are the days when maternity wear was all floaty dresses and billowing blouses. Most modern maternity lines cater not just for a range of occasions, but for a range of styles too. From ripped jeans and leopard print to tunics and tea dresses, we’ve found the best maternity ranges to keep you feeling comfortable and stylish during every trimester and beyond. Maternity wear experts JoJo Maman Bébé can always be relied upon to come up with comfortable pregnancy clothing and its swimwear collection is no different.I recommend Happy Mama. The quality is fine - easily lasted me a pregnancy and a bit afterwards.” (Vetted by Mumsnet user Ellpellwood) Our verdict

Why - At the end of the day, choosing the right underwear during your pregnancy can be a real life saver! Maternity underwear will keep you comfortable during those aches and pains, and help you get through any pregnancy leaks and bleeding. The waistline is a high point mentioned by moms who like these underwear. Lisafé Carreon, Senior Product Manager at BabyCenter, says the waist was low-cut and comfy during her pregnancy, and she really liked how it sat under her belly. Some BabyCenter moms say that the fit takes some getting used to, but they're glad they gave the style a shot: "It is pretty strange at first wearing underwear that come so low in the front, but I find them super comfy and think they'll still be perfectly functional postpartum," said one BabyCenter Community member. JoJo Maman Bébé was good quality and not too expensive.” (Tried and tested by Boringnamechanging) Our verdict If you love striking prints and fun colours, finding maternity wear to reflect your style can be something of a challenge. Whilst we love a few pastel shades or a Breton stripe, sometimes it’s nice to stand out from the crowd and wear something a little different, and that's where Frugi comes in.Seraphine for sure. I still wear my maternity tops from there even though my youngest is now two.” (Vetted by Mumsnet user Alabaster1) Our verdict Maternity underwear is one of those pregnancy items you don't think you need. But once you experience the comfort it provides, you'll be thankful for this little luxury. How we chose the best maternity underwear We understand that during pregnancy, comfort is everything. However, instead of just sizing up in your usual go-to underwear, invest time into getting the best maternity bra for you. The right material can be an absolute god send as you want something irritation free, that feels like a second skin. Your body will thank you later! Leaky boobs on the brain? Nursing bras in pregnancy can give the option to add breast pads if desired, to allow you to soak up any little leaks you may have, in the build up to meeting your little one. These are awesome. I’ve worn them since 20 weeks. I’m now 35 weeks.” (Recommended by Mumsnet user PetaO) Our verdict
