When Should I Start Wearing Maternity Leggings?
When you need to convert your wardrobe to a maternity wardrobe is very individual and specific to your pregnancy. Many pregnant women carrying twins say they feel they are beginning to show by 8 weeks and they report switching to a maternity wardrobe around that time.
Singleton pregnancies are obviously different so don’t compare your changing body to friends who are carrying only one baby. They might not need maternity leggings until their 4th month! You probably won’t be so fortunate, but take heart in knowing that leggings are one of the most comfortable options out there for you!

Is It OK to Wear Leggings While Pregnant?
Not only is it okay to wear leggings while pregnant, but you may also find it more comfortable than wearing jeans. You may want to opt for breathable materials such as cotton since we all know pregnancy tends to overheat the body, especially with summer babies.
Make sure that the waist band isn’t too tight and causing discomfort to your growing bump. Otherwise, you do you, Mama!

What Size Maternity Leggings Should I Buy?
Clothing manufacturers make maternity sizes just like regular sizes. So, if you normally wear a large, you will probably wear large maternity leggings as well. Whatever size you wear, make sure you are comfortable. You want to choose leggings that fit your body, budget, and style to survive these last months of pregnancy.
As you come up on the finish line of your twin pregnancy, comfort is probably becoming more and more important. Many women find leggings to be among the most comfortable clothing choices. If you’re one of those women, this list will definitely help you to narrow down the choices!
