What are the best shorts for pregnant women?

Shopping for pregnancy shorts can be as daunting as picking trendy maternity clothes. You want to wear something cute and comfortable that can accommodate your growing belly. Good thing there are maternity shorts that don’t compromise functionality, quality, and style. Moms-to-be who have “been there, done that” recommend the following qualities when buying pregnancy-friendly shorts:

Think of the type of shorts you want to wear. Do you want something timeless that goes with anything, like these Scarlet denim maternity shorts? Or maybe something edgier like these distressed denim shorts? Or are you looking for something with stretchy fabric for pregnancy-safe exercises, such as bike shorts?

Knowing what you want and how you want to wear them can help narrow your search for the perfect maternity shorts.

Like maternity jeans, pregnancy shorts have waistbands to accommodate your growing belly. Some styles like this Ollie Maternity Denim Shorts by Seraphine have an under-thebelly waistband, while some have partially or fully over-the-belly bands. Some shorts also feature side panels for extra support. Ultimately, your choice should depend on what you’re comfortable with.

Stretch is super important especially as you reach your third trimester. It’s best to choose maternity shorts you can wear throughout pregnancy and even postpartum, like these Philly Ultra Light Maternity Shorts and Organic Jersey Maternity Shorts.
