Whether you've just found out you're pregnant or your growing bump is making itself firmly at home (and letting you know about it) in your belly, there's one non-negotiable that's always up there at the top of any pregnancy essentials list: maternity sleepwear.
Because - and let's be real here for a second - you're probably going to be living in it for the next nine months. Seriously, growing a mini human is no joke, and if that means comfort = PJs for the foreseeable (count us in pregnant or not tbf), it's not rocket science to know that you're more than likely going to need some new fits as your body changes.
That is, unless you're planning on taking a leaf out of Rihanna's book and redefining the words ‘pregnancy fashion’ as your goal. In that case, we obviously salute you, but you're still gonna need some comfies to sling on at the end of the day. Realistically, you're not going to be wearing skin-tight red bodysuits or see-through mesh maxi dresses to binge Schitt's Creek on your sofa for the 17th time, are you?
With that, we've rounded up some of the best maternity pyjamas on the market right now. From slinky numbers so you can still feel très chic to more comfy vibes for when it's a Netflix (and literally) chill kinda day, there's a PJ for all pregnancy occasions...
It's giving Kourtney Kardashian would approve vibes. Not only will you ooze hot mama-to-be feels, but we guarantee you'll also be *incredibly* comfy due to the set's under-the-bump design and wide-leg fit.
Simple and sultry, you can't go wrong with this maternity pyjama top offering from River Island. While you have to purchase the matching trousers separately, it's deffo worth it, because it's definitely a strong maternity lewk.
Keep it chic with this black lace nightdress. Perfect for lounging in style, it's also designed to fit you perfectly post-pregnancy, too.
Fun, quirky, and all the 90s vibes, this dino and lobster set from ASOS will also keep you cosy in the evenings. Design-wise, the bodycon-fit leggings have an elasticated waist and the oversized fit T-shirt will provide you with plenty of room while your bump grows.
Um, can we get a hell yeah for this sultry green fit, puh-lease? Honestly, we'd be wearing these around the house all day if we had them. As per the pyjama description, they're "designed to fit you from bump to baby."
LaRedoute coming through with slinky and sustainable maternity sleepwear. According to the description, it's made from reusing raw materials like bra cups and lace. Oh, and it also looks stun.
Comfy? Check. Practical? Check? Easy nursing access? Check. If you want a fit that you'll be able to wear during and post-pregnancy, this set is ideal.
This a perfect set for summer/to take on your holidays. Light and breezy, the pink and white pinstripe design is also simple and classy. Oh, and you can also reuse them once you've had your baby, so there's no waste!
We're also loving the full-length blue version of this PJ set - again - that can be worn during and after the baby has arrived!
Oversized Waffle-Jersey Lounge Pyjama Set
While they're not necessarily labelled 'maternity,' who's stopping you from chilling out in this oversized waffle-jersey lounge set? We're not! The White Company is known for its high quality and luxurious garms, which means you know you'll get longevity and ultimate comfort out of these babies.
Sleep, lounge, grab a coffee - do whatever - because these hareem maternity joggers are multi-purpose city.
Erm, who doesn't love a bit of a tie-dye moment? This nursing nightie is perfect for lounging on the sofa while either nursing your bump in your belly or after your little one has arrived!
We're loving this traditional monochrome fit from Topshop at ASOS. Plus, it's always great when you can combine style with comfort, and that's exactly what this maternity set offers.
Nope, we absolutely can't deal with this. This pug maternity shorts and short-sleeved set from ASOS is hitting our hormones hard.
Could this be any more extra? For all you guys looking to channel your inner RiRi (even when lounging) we think we've found the perfect set for you. Not only is it giving *pure* OTT vibes, but we think you'll find it v v comfortable too. Mainly because of the elasticated waistband.
