This will save your life. Whether you wear it over a full panel [you'll quickly learn this lingo when you're pregnant] to help keep your pants up, or wear it over your unzipped non-maternity jeans, this is a must.
|| long cardigan ||
Unless you're Adriana Lima or one of these VS models who are popping out kids then appearing in the Fashion Show a week later there's a good chance your hips, butt and chest will grow in addition to your baby bump. A staple cardigan is a great go-to for all 9 months, especially on days you feel "large."
|| UNDERWEAR! ||
I thought, "oh brother, who needs MATERNITY underwear - that seems like a ploy to trick me into spending money on something I really don't need." Boy was I wrong. I have never felt anything so comfortable. Believe me, you'll want maternity undies & they even make cute ones!

Yoga pants are great. Pregnant or not. I've worn mine that are non-maternity and they've worked great. I'd live in them 24/7 if I could. I purchased a pair of maternity ones too & I love 'em!
|| your husband's t-shirts ||
viaI strongly suggest you raid your husband's closets for t-shirts, sweatshirts, etc. He will understand when you tell him that it's easier & CHEAPER to just wear his clothes rather than BUY new stuff! ;]
|| wife-beaters ||
I loved these pre-pregnancy but I really love them now that I'm pregnant. These are perfect under things and they're nice and extra long since they're men's. I wear one almost everyday.

My mom got me a cute Maxi like the top one while she was in FL and it's SO comfortable & flattering. You can't go wrong with a cute maxi to compliment your baby bump.

This will be necessary in your first few months of brewin' your baby. I read about this trick and thought it was crazy. Until I tried it. It really works, and turns your non-maternity jeans into a comfy alternative until you fit into maternity pants. Wear a wife beater or bella band over & nobody will ever know. Except your husband.

I was thrilled to get these gems from Old Navy Maternity. Turns out there are a few stylish maternity pieces out there! Don't sacrifice your style for a bunch of drab pieces, get a couple [comfy] trendy things to help the 9 months pass quickly!
I LOVE these maternity ones too, but they're pretty pricey.
Most importantly, enjoy your new "body by baby!"
