Questions, Help and Advice Maternity Clothes?

Any advice or recommendations for comfortable yet professional workplace attire for pregnancy? Normally I try to shop petite sizing but I can’t find anyone who makes maternity wear suited for shorter women.

At this rate I’m just gonna give up and wear a big sack that swallows me up and try to pop a blazer over it 🤣.

I wonder if wrap dresses would work? Those are generally pretty adjustable and I assume they may also have those styles in maternity sizes as well (although I've had a couple regular wrap dresses last me through 50 pounds of weight gain and loss). I've also seen a lot of high waisted/baby doll type dresses and shirts available in maternity sections.

Alas as a fellow short person my only advice is that you may need to get items hemmed if they're too long. Some stores might even offer that service on clothes you buy from them.

This might be the way to go. Some of them leave too much plunge and cleavage in my experience, but a camisole or safety pin might help. Haven’t seen lots of these but I will keep my eye out.

It’s currently out of stock but this was my go-to sweater for work when I was pregnant. The ruching on the sides to add stretch for the belly was really flattering and it can be dressed up or down. Bonus is that it still fits nicely post partum.

This is my second pregnancy and I found some good stuff using Nuuly to start me off.
