When you’ve got a bun in the oven, it’s very easy for those motherly feelings and emotions to leave you feeling overwhelmed. Not to add to that overwhelm, but you may want to consider switching to organic maternity clothes as your bump gets bigger.

See, most modern clothing is made with synthetic fabrics, leading to untold amounts of textile waste and possible chemical exposure for you and your little one—making them way more than a baby bump in the road.

These natural and non-toxic maternity brands we’ve curated—along with pregnancy-safe makeup—ensure a safer, more sustainable countdown to your due date. After all, you should be staying comfortable, chemical-free, and cozy as possible in the months leading up to when your little bundle of joy arrives.

Speaking of countdowns, we recently launched our new Brand Rating System and over the next number of months, we’ll be assessing brands using its 22 criteria, for eco-related considerations like chemical use and climate impact. Read about our methodology here.
