While it’s a miraculous time, pregnancy can also be an awkward fashion period. A changing body and no desire to drop a bucket-load of cash on clothes you’ll only wear briefly means fashionable options are hard to come by. Thankfully these stores are experts in the pregnant body so you’ll be looking your best during this amazing time.

Room For 2 Maternity & Baby

1409 Commercial Dr, Vancouver, BC V5L 3X8

The mother-daughter team behind this Commercial Drive store have between them a wealth of experience when it comes to pregnancy, birth and child-rearing. Both mothers (one a grandmother), Lorena, the daughter, is also a childbirth educator and doula. Over the years they’ve come to know what works for the pregnant body and what women want when it comes to maternity fashion. They carry a range of casual and professional clothes as well as nursing bras, breast pumps and breastfeeding accessories.

Motherhood Maternity

2146-2148 4th Ave W, Vancouver, BC V6K 1N6

Along the same strip and across the street from Thyme is Motherhood. This store carries fun and stylish pieces at reasonable prices for all occasions. They have a great selection of active wear to help you stay fit while you’re pregnant, and a cozy and casually sexy loungewear line for those times when you just don’t want to leave the couch. Workwear, swimwear, outerwear, you name it and Motherhood will outfit you in style for nine special months.

H&M

G028-609 Granville St, Vancouver, BC V7Y 1H2

Leave it to H&M, the masters of trendy, of-the-moment fashions and budget-friendly runway knock-offs, to develop a maternity line. No woman really wants to spend a bundle on clothes they won’t fit into in a few short months. But few women want to sacrifice style either. Which is why the maternity collection here is a fashionista’s best bet. All the fun design flourishes, funky cuts and on-trend colours but none of the buyer’s remorse. Treat yourself to a spree here — you deserve a little retail therapy.
