| Dungarees: a pregnancy cliche or a denim bump hug every woman needs? |
While there is a big choice of maternity jeans on the market, finding a pair that fits well, looks good and are comfortable is not easy. So what of dungarees? A pregnancy staple of the 80s, in recent years denim overalls have been everywhere, worn by the very-much-not-pregnant likes of Alexa Chung, Taylor Swift and Kate Bosworth.
But do they work when pregnant? Stars including Fearne Cotton and Jessica Biel think so. And now, so do I. I road-tested this Replay pair (they're non-maternity but generous in the ab-area) and haven't been so comfortable since about four months in.
The only problem is taking them off. How many times a week do you think I can legitimately wear these denim bump-huggers without it looking like I'm involved in some sort of bet?

| Never. Taking. Them. Off. |
Things to bear in mind:
Mums-to-be, go forth and dungaree.
- Either opt for a maternity style or a loose-fitting pair, these Replay overalls have two buttons at the waist that will give me a little extra bump room at the end.
- Dungarees do make you look a little wider, so if you're feeling size-conscious, they might not be the best choice for you.
- A striped top is the perfect under-denim choice, so stock up on a few stretchy Breton tees to pair with your new best wardrobe friend.
Mums-to-be, go forth and dungaree.
