When should I start buying maternity clothing?
As soon as you feel uncomfortable or find your wardrobe choices are dwindling! Don’t settle for tracksuit pants or your husbands shirts! Try starting with a couple of basic items such as a pair of pants or jeans, and work it back with some tops in this season’s fashion colours. You can build up your maternity wardrobe as you keep growing. The pea in a pod collection covers every occasion from work, rest to play, so there is no need to sacrifice your comfort or style!

I don’t look pregnant yet, but my
clothes feel tight! Can I just buy a
bigger size where I normally shop?
It is a misconception and huge “NO NO” to purchase regular clothing two sizes larger! Maternity clothing is carefully designed to flatter women throughout their pregnancies and beyond.
Additional room is allowed for where
you need it – not where you don’t! Thanks to the versatility of clever designs you will notice your maternity clothes stretch and shrink as your body does, making it possible to maintain a flattering and fitted silhouette.

I live in Jeans! Can I wear regular denim while pregnant?
Probably Not! As your baby grows your jeans will start to feel extremely restricting! We have designed comfortable fitting jeans and cargos with adjustable waists and stretch bands.The elastic or drawstring waistband fits around, or sits above your tummy, expanding and contracting to fit you now and beyond pregnancy. With different washes and leg styles to choose from there is a jean for everyone!

Pre-Pregnancy I was a size 12. What size maternity clothing do I need?
Pea in a Pod sizing generally correlates with your regular size. It is normal to increase 1 – 2 cup sizes in the bust and ribs, and to put on weight in the hip and thigh areas. All Garments are especially designed to accommodate for this growth so you will most likely remain the same size. But during your pregnancy, don’t worry about the sizing on the tag. Wear what looks good and feels comfortable.
*For specific measurements please refer to our sizing guide.

I have maternity clothing from an earlier pregnancy; can I make do
with that?
Each pregnancy is different, but if the basics fit you a second time around, just refresh what you already have with some new season items. It’s important you have all areas of you wardrobe covered so you’re not stuck at the last minute! Again, comfort, quality and style are essential.

I have a function coming up and I want to look glamorous! Can I still wear an evening dress when I am pregnant?
