Hi guys, this is Joy Chow from Ojoe. I'm pregnant with my second baby and we're thrilled to be adding to our family. During my first pregnancy, I shared bump photos and got lots of questions about what to wear during pregnancy. So this time, I thought I'd detail a little bit more about some of the things I've learned along the way and tips for you other pregnant mamas out there. During the course of this series, I'll be sharing both some maternity essentials and ways to maximize your current closet. This week is 12 weeks. This is a stage I like to call Taco Belly. It just looks like you had a really big meal and no one will come up to you and actually ask you if you're pregnant because they don't want to be wrong. Right around this time, your jeans and pants will probably still fit, but they'll feel a little snug around the waistline, especially after a meal. Here's a little trick using a simple hair or a band looper through the buttonhole and then attach the extra loop through the button. This allows for a little bit more give in your current pair of jeans. Another key piece during the earliest ages of pregnancy is a bellaband. It's a stretchy piece of fabric that you can wear over your waist and your torso. The best part about this piece is you can wear it pretty far into pregnancy and also after baby as well when you're trying to get that into your jeans. While I'm all that embracing the bump, sometimes in this other stage of pregnancy, you might not be ready to share the news yet. There are pieces like this dress with the seam above the natural waistline and a full skirt that are really great for concealing during this early age of pregnancy. A few other pieces that I really love during this time are really stretchy, comfortable, cotton pieces. Like this dress for example, which is not even maternity, is easy to wear and will grow with me as my belly grows. A stretchy and comfy skirt, as well as a stretchy and comfy tanker tee. These pieces are great for layering over and under other items that you already have as well as wearing throughout the year. Thanks so much for joining me on this first and installment of dressing the bump. If you have any questions or want specific tips, please feel free to comment below.
