While the very best maternity nightwear might be designed for, well, nights, you’ll be surprised how quickly those piece make it into your daywear wardrobe – particularly when the third triester hits. And, trust me, it’ll only continue on that trajectory once the baby arrives, so there’s really no better time than now to invest in some truly great PJs.
As well as the best maternity leggings, maternity knickers and maternity loungewear, maternity pyjamas and nighties are a great thing to stock up on for your pregnancy wardrobe and beyond, carrying you through your fourth trimester when – if you’re anything like me – you probably won’t leave the house all too much. I actually still wear my maternity pyjamas over a year on because they’re so damn comfy.

As any pregnant woman can attest, the nine months you’re carrying your precious cargo isn’t always the most comfortable, what with back pain, leg cramps, abdominal cramps, headaches, heartburn, swollen feet and lightening crotch (Google it) all seemingly par for the course. So if you’re not spoiling yourself with some new ultra comfortable, loose-fitting, soft-as-butter pyjamas right now, when are you?
Ditch the itchy lace, niggling seams, and tight, unbreathable fabrics in favour of flowing, breathable cotton nightwear that feels as good as it looks. When you’re contending with a burgeoning bump, night sweats and frequent trips to the bathroom, great maternity nightwear is an investment worth making. Anything to help you feel a bit more comfortable when you cosy up to that body pillow at bedtime, right?
With stretchy waistbands that comfortably cover your bump and support it – without making you feel like you’re being squeezed – and tops that allow for breastfeeding later down the line, maternity nightwear forms the base for most pregnant women’s wardrobes, as, believe me, you’ll spend a lot of time in bed. Plus, if you’re looking for the perfect mum-to-be gift, maternity nightwear is a great contender.
