I sent you to her to say, “I love you.” And you come back and say, “She wants a castle.”

I dispatched you to my love to say, “I dream of you.” And you return and say, “She needs a flower garden.”

Go, tell her I own no castles or flower gardens. But I can write poems of those. Don’t tell me, “She reads no poems.” For castles and gardens perish. But love never dies. And poetry is love!

The sizing of maternity wear is fairly straight forward; it is generally same size as pre-pregnancy clothing. So if you were a size 14 prior to falling pregnant then this is size you should choose. Of course as with all things there are exceptions to rules.

1. If you are pregnant with multiples then it is advised that you go up a size.

2. If you have a tendency in your non-pregnant life to fluctuate between sizes then it would also be advisable to go up a size for later in your pregnancy.

Various styles are on offer in skirts, pants and shorts that cover a wide range of preferences, you will see commonly used terms to describe maternity styles which are as follows:

Under tummy - Obviously as name suggest this style sits just under your tummy, normally recommended for 2-7 months although many wear them to term with comfort.

Advantages - Your bump can grow with out any restriction, no pressure to be felt on your stomach which can upset some women later in pregnancy.

Disadvantage - No feeling of support, some women feel they need extra support in front as their tummy expands.

Mid and Over tummy - These styles sit either midway over your abdomen or completely over it. These styles are generally recommended for 2-9 months. There are 3 different designs to this type.
