How can I avoid buying maternity jeans?

Maternity clothing can be expensive as they are designed to fit your changing body. If you want to make the most of your wardrobe and avoid maternity jeans, consider buying a few pairs of non-maternity skinny or straight leg jeans in dark denim that will go with everything. Do this before trying on any other pants because once you find something that fits, it’s likely going to be a staple in your wardrobe.

In what ways can I save money during my pregnancy?

There are many things pregnant women spend money on throughout their pregnancies – from prenatal vitamins and supplements for mommy and baby, stretch mark cream if necessary, maternity wear such as bras/underwear/pyjamas etc., and prenatal doctor visits.

 

What is normal maternity pay?

Maternity pay is typically anywhere from 50 to 100% of an employee’s salary. The average maternity leave in the US lasts 16 weeks, but some companies offer more time off than others. It all depends on what your company policies are and whether or not you qualify for FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act).

 

What happens if you don’t come back after maternity leave?

If you or your partner don’t come back after maternity leave, it’s likely that you will not be able to return to the same job. But before this happens, make sure that you understand what benefits are available upon returning from maternity leave.

 

What is a breast pump?

A hand-operated or electric device, consisting of tubes and collection bottles is used to express milk from the breasts. Breast pumps are available in different styles including manual, battery-operated/electric double and single pumps. Pumps can also be rented from lactation consultants or medical equipment companies if you have insurance coverage for it! Deciding between using an electric vs a manual pump often comes down to personal preference since both types work equally well at removing milk.

Electric breast pumps tend to be more expensive upfront but allow women with larger amounts of milk production (like working moms) who may need to empty their breasts quickly before going back into the office. Manual options are great for shorter times away from baby where mom.

 

What should I do if my employer does not have a maternity policy?

If this occurs, try writing up a simple proposal that includes how many months/weeks pregnant you currently are, how long you plan on taking off when the baby arrives and any other pertinent information such as doctor visits etc., with several potential dates for returning to work pencilled in. Give it to your boss and see what he or she says. If they do not like the terms, ask them what changes you could make to accommodate their needs.

 

What is pumping at work?

Pumping means expressing milk with a breast pump while either sitting in front of your computer or while on the go (such as during lunch). It also refers to storing and transporting expressed milk for later use by mommy and baby! Pumping at work can help increase supply if done regularly throughout the day/week. This is a great option for working moms who want their little ones to get breastmilk even when they aren’t around all day long.

 

What should I wear during pregnancy?

The first trimester can be particularly difficult when it comes to dressing up — many women find themselves feeling nauseated around weeks two through four which makes finding outfits that don’t smell bad nearly impossible! It helps tremendously to dress in layers during this time, allowing you to peel off clothes when nausea passes.

Nobody wants to spend an arm and a leg on maternity clothing at every stage of pregnancy! To save money while still looking cute (and not like you got dressed in the dark), focus on basics for your wardrobe. Whether it’s long sleeve t-shirts or stretchy pants, make sure that these staples are comfortable enough for everyday use throughout all three trimesters.

The same goes for shoes — keep them simple so they can go with everything from day one until delivery day!
