My first born son was a November baby and my second born daughter was an October baby, so I feel like I have a pretty good understanding of the clothing requirements for mamas due in the fall and winter months!
What to wear this fall?
The toughest part about being in the third trimester during the chilly fall and winter months, is that all the maternity clothing you’ve purchased and worn so far have been dresses, tank tops, and other light weight pieces to keep you cool through the crazy summer heat. Now that the weather is cooling off, squeezing into those pre-baby sweaters and hoodies just is not going to work well (unless you have a closet full of Prairie Sweater Co. sweatshirts – then you would be set!).
I think that many women are hesitant to spend much money on their maternity clothing during the third trimester, because they realize that they are finally coming to the end of pregnancy! Baby’s due date is coming closer every day, and the need for specialty clothing through this pregnancy will be over soon. But it creates a dilemma, do you have enough cool weather wear to get through?
Not just for maternity!
I managed to survive through both of my pregnancies purchasing only a couple of maternity/nursing tank tops, and comfortably made it through the entire second pregnancy in my regular Prairie Sweater Co. sweatshirts! Something about the soft and stretchy fabrics makes them fit perfectly over a baby bump, while being completely useful pre and post baby. Plus if you are planning on breastfeeding baby, you can wear one of the discreet breastfeeding hoodies all through the pregnancy, then use it postpartum as well – mom win!
Without further ado, here are the 3 absolute best of the Prairie Sweater Co. sweatshirts for a new mama:
These sweatshirts are the perfect transition from maternity to postpartum style. Super flattering and comfortable, plus totally discreet and easy to breastfeed baby.
A best selling sweatshirt, the breastfeeding hoodie is a popular choice among mamas! With the same silhouette as the Signature Breastfeeding Sweatshirt, she will love the look and feel of this cozy hoodie.
A great piece for the mama who loves babywearing, the outdoors, or camping; this sweater can be worn over a carrier to keep mom and baby cozy through the chilly months. It also works great while breastfeeding!
Know a new mama who would love these? Send her the link to check them out! Or you can even purchase one with your girlfriends and gift it for her shower – who says the gifts have to be just for baby! Don’t know her size? Another great option is to purchase a electronic gift card! Contact me at hello@prairiesweaterco.com to buy one in any value.
Much love,
