In my two previous pregnancies, I didn’t flaunt any quality maternity and postpartum gear. And honestly, I should. My bras were ruined, but I couldn’t stop myself from spending the money on decent ones. I definitely wasn’t doing that this time (they were so low and awful), and told myself I deserved some nice nursing bras after all that hard work! I also have a few other maternity and postpartum essentials on my list that I thought I’d share with you today!
Rosie Pope Nursing Bras: I NEVER invested in good nursing bras with my last 2 pregnancies, and honestly the bras went to crap. I plan to invest in at least 2 of these better ones, and found these Rosie Pope ones because the price point is SUPER reasonable. You can shop them here!
Ingrid and Isabel Nursing Bra: These Ingrid and Isabel nursing bras looks great, as well, with an equally good price point. I’m especially interested in the seamless versions, as I try to avoid underwires while breastfeeding (I feel like that can cause clogged ducts!) If any of you have tried these or the Rosie Pope bras, I’d love to hear what you think Reviews in the comments!
Rosie Pope Nursing Cami: I bought a couple of CHEAP nursing camisoles last time around and I absolutely hated them. You get what you pay for, right? So I plan to invest in some good things this time, and this Rosie Pope Nursing Camis is reasonably priced!
Ingrid and Isabel Nursing Cami: Another nursing cami option I’m looking at is it’s Ingrid and Isabel! Again, I only get a few, but I usually get black and white to wear under tops!
Plush Maternity Tights, Spanx Maternity Tights: A few of you have asked about maternity tights, and I recently found this pair of Plush Maternity Tights that are lined with FLEECE and are perfect for winter! This pair might be a must-have, and they’re under $40! I found it too this pair by Spanx for only $28!
Spanx Maternity Leggings: I finally gave in and bought these babies! These Spanx Maternity Leggings My interest peaked after I bought a pair of regular Spanx leggings during the Nordstrom sale. These are insane, so I’m interested to see how well the maternity version does! They are a little higher in price, but I’m willing to spend the money on a pair of GOOD quality leggings. I’ll have to update you not the final verdict!
Ingrid and Isabel Tank Dress: I really feel that investing in a good quality black maternity dress is one of the best things you can buy during your pregnancy. I have it’s Ingrid and Isabel and this is one of my most broken pieces! I also have a longer sleeve version. I love wearing it layered with a tank or cardigan, and it lasts through the winter!
Rosie Pope Backpack: I like my Fawn Design backpack for a diaper bag, but I like it adorable backpack by Rosie Pope, too! It looks smaller than my Fawn, but I love the sleek style! There are better, chic Diaper bag options right here.
What are some essential pieces you used during pregnancy and in your postpartum days? I’d love to hear about them!
