Pregnancy is a beautiful journey filled with joy and excitement, and your wardrobe should reflect that! As a mom-to-be, you deserve to look and feel your best. But if you're like me and you ball on a budget, it's tough realizing you need dish out the cash for an ENTIRELY new wardrobe that is only temporary.

The fact of the matter is, though, that you need to. I held out for as long as I could, but eventually realized I just simply needed to spend the money on myself. I scoured all the websites and all the in-person stores as well. Here are my favorite affordable maternity basics that I found through my search. These pieces will keep you lookin' cute and feeling comfortable throughout your pregnancy, all without breaking the bank.

Maternity leggings are a maternity wardrobe essential. They provide the perfect blend of comfort and style, allowing you to move freely while keeping you looking trendy.

My favorite: Destination Maternity Leggings from Walmart ($19.63)

Why I love them: They are super supportive, breathable, and have nice, deep pockets. They have a good size range from S-3XL. I personally have one in each color. Heads up, though: they do look more athletic than "dressy". It's still possible to dress them up with an oversized sweater or long t-shirt, but there might be better options if you're looking for leggings for work specifically.

There are so many options for maternity tops. They are designed to accommodate your changing body, making them a go-to choice for any occasion. From casual outings to special events, these tops will keep you looking effortlessly chic. I recommend looking for a piece that can be dressed up or down.

My favorite short sleeve option: Destination Maternity Pocket T-Shirt from Walmart ($7.95)

Why I love them: I love that these are breathable. Most maternity clothing is TIGHT, and I liked that these look much more casual and are flowy, while still covering the bump. I have one in each color!

My favorite long sleeve option: Classic Side-Ruched Long Sleeve 3-Pack from Amazon for $38.99.

Why I love them: The price point just can't be beat, and they are super comfortable. There are several color/print combinations to choose from as well.

Every mom-to-be needs a good pair of maternity jeans. They are a stylish and practical choice that will become a staple in your maternity wardrobe.

My favorite(s): Any pair from Pink Blush, but especially this Medium Wash Straight Legged pair.

Why I love them: These are quality denim jeans. They are a little more on the costly side compared to the other products I am listing, but Pink Blush almost always has some sort of 25-40% coupon available. They are extremely comfortable and durable. I personally like over the belly pants like these, but Pink Blush has tons of options. They also have so many options regarding cut, wash, and style.

Maternity dresses are a must-have for every expectant mother. Whether you prefer maxi dresses for a feminine look or bodycon dresses for a sleek style, there are endless options to suit your taste. Embrace your bump in a stylish maternity dress that will make you feel beautiful and confident.

My favorite: Destination Maternity Ruched Bodycon with Short Sleeves from Walmart ($17.98)

Why I love them: There are several color options available. I like that they have string-tied ruches so you can adjust the length of the dress. These dresses have also grown with me and have made my bump look so cute, no matter what size it was.

Maternity biker shorts are also a necessity if you're going to be bumping in those warmer months. I personally just tried using my pre-pregnancy biker shorts, but they were way too suffocating.

My favorite: Over The Belly Maternity Shorts from Amazon - 3 Pack from Amazon ($32.99)

Why I love them: I think the price point is great, but they also are SOOO comfy! These are buttery soft and I could wear them all day, every day. There are tons of color combinations available as well.

In conclusion, finding the perfect maternity clothes is essential for feeling confident and comfortable during your pregnancy, and it doesn't have to empty your wallet. I hope you enjoy these affordable finds as much as I do!
