7) Under-bump trousers vs over-bump
Don’t be tempted by funky under-the bump trouser styles. They might look groovy now, but believe you me, by 30 weeks pregnant a wide, stretchy, waistband is the only thing that will keep your trousers up in comfort.

10) Be you!
Just because you’re pregnant it doesn’t mean you need to compromise on your own style. If you always liked figure hugging clothes – stick with it. If you like bold prints, you will find them. Be selective and accessorise, and feel like the yummy-mummy-to-be you are!
