Welcoming a baby calls for a very specific selection of wardrobe necessities, accessories, and resources. As a newly-minted mother of three, Arielle is taking us inside her fourth trimester, featuring her must-have essentials from A Pea in the Pod.
A Pea in the Pod is Arielle's go-to destination for thoughtfully designed items made to be worn during every stage of the pregnancy journey. The retailer is a longtime SN fave thanks to their chic and comfortable styles that help mothers-to-be and moms look and feel their best.
Take a peek inside Arielle's fourth trimester style diary and discover the A Pea in the Pod essentials she's been living in below.
Arielle's postpartum style mantra has been all about choosing comfortable pieces she can easily wear while tending to baby Navy. During the fourth trimester, there's no outfit combination as essential as a cozy, nursing-friendly set.
Arielle loves A Pea in the Pod’s Nursing 3 Piece Sleep Set, which includes a soft tank, pants, and a robe that ties in the front. This functional three-piece combo was designed to make breastfeeding a breeze–the tank has a handy clip-down feature to maximize accessibility. This sleep set is the perfect pick for any new mom searching for something soft and cozy to wear 24/7.
Lounge sets are one foolproof option for new mamas, but the unofficial fourth trimester uniform also includes pajamas. The first few weeks of having a little one at home means a lot of interrupted sleep, so new moms need pajamas that are functional, efficient, and even cute for those inevitable middle-of-the-night moments.
A Pea in the Pod designed the Button Front Nursing Pajama Set, one of Arielle's most frequently worn styles, just for those up-all-night scenarios. The soft jersey knit fabric keeps mom comfortable no matter how many hours of sleep she’s running on, while the button front makes nursing easy. The chic black and white polka dot print adds a pretty detail to this postpartum mainstay.
For everyday dressing, Arielle's fourth trimester favorites also include leggings, bras, and shapewear created just to support a postpartum body. Arielle lived in A Pea in the Pod’s amazing leggings during her pregnancy, and since welcoming Navy, she has worn the brand's Post Pregnancy Leggings on repeat. The high-waisted style is designed with a power mesh shaping fabric and compression on the waist for added support and to aid post-delivery recovery.
No postpartum wardrobe is complete with nursing-friendly bras, underwear, and belly wraps–they're the true MVPs of the fourth trimester. A Pea in the Pod's Belly Bandit Post Pregnancy Belly Wrap is another one of Arielle's hero products. The supportive elastic helps her diastasis and supports her core muscle structure by providing a comfortable level of compression.
Beyond this belly wrap, A Pea in the Pod has every new mom must-have covered. The retailer has everything from bras made for pumping to the Upspring C-Panty Recovery & Slimming Panty, which has medical-grade silicon to help moms recover after a c-section delivery.
