The first few months of pregnancy often give rise to several wardrobe dilemmas.

An increase in breast size and the 'loss' of waist are a couple of the most common 'secondary effects' that mums-to-be encounter during the first few weeks.

With waistbands that have become too tight and an assortment of bras that serve no purpose whatsoever, the alterations to your body can be frustrating.

These changes can seem difficult to accommodate - but fear not, for the solutions are often easier to find than you may think. Moreover, it is an excuse to treat yourself to a lovely new wardrobe!
