Maternity Sleepwear is an absolute must-have for today's expecting mom. While there's no easy way to get a good night's sleep when you are months away from expecting a baby, high quality and comfortable clothing will help you relax a little more while offering some style to your maternity loungewear wardrobe. Most maternity sleepwear is made with nursing access for postpartum wear and makes for a very good long-term investment.

Maternity pajamas should generally be purchased in your pre-pregnancy size unless you have gained more than the average 25-35 pounds. Also, if you are carrying twins or multiples, you will need to go up a size (or two!). Many maternity nightgowns also include bra sizing as they may be more fitted in the bust and offer some bust support with nursing access. Make sure you allow room for up to one cup size larger in the bust if you buying while still expecting and plan to also wear your maternity nightie or maternity pajamas postpartum for nursing.

These sleepwear sets make for very popular baby shower gifts as they can be used at the hospital (or sooner) by the mom-to-be and soon after by baby. Many expecting moms put these on their gift list for friends and family!
