What is Maternity Wear?
Maternity clothing is worn by women as an adaptation to changes in body size during pregnancy.
The evolution of maternity clothing began during the Middle Ages and became fashionable as women became more selective about style and comfort in the types of maternity clothing they wore.

How many weeks pregnant do you start wearing maternity clothes?
Around 14 weeks is where you may feel that your abdomen has grown, but most likely you won’t be showing yet, as most women don’t start showing until around 16 weeks. By week 20, most women will have switched to maternity—or at least loose-fitting—clothes.
Does H&M have good maternity clothes?
We all know and love H&M for its trendy clothes and affordable prices, but don’t forget about its incredible maternity department.
The mega-retailer carries a wide variety of clothes called MAMA, that are great for both before and after the baby is born.
Are maternity clothes necessary?
Not only is it totally possible to wear non-maternity clothes while pregnant, but I actually prefer it.
You can find regular non-maternity clothes that will accommodate a bump, are just as comfy and supportive as maternity clothes, and that you can continue to wear postpartum.
