For the first few months you can secure your jeans using a rubber band hooked through the eye of your jeans and wrapped around the button. This will give you an extra inch or two of space in the months that you are too small for maternity clothes. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>Invest in a couple of comfy skirts. Long skirts with expandable waists work great in the early <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pregnanthealth.com\/pregnancy-weight-gain\/\">months of pregnancy<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Purchase just a few maternity items that you can mix and match. Consider for example a pair of jeans and a pair of slacks, and maybe a few different shirts and accessories that can go with both. If you work in an office environment that is very formal, consider one or two suits that can easily be accessorized or mixed with several different shirts.<\/li>\n<li>Invest in an item or two one size too big. Often you just need a pair of jeans one size larger than normal to get you through the first few <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pregnanthealth.com\/month-two\/\">months of pregnancy<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Maternity clothes can be expensive, and remember you will only be wearing them for nine months.
