What to consider when choosing?
During preparation for childbirth, women need to take into account many points, one of the most important is the acquisition of a shirt. It should be of a simple cut, made of modal, rayon or cotton. Its size is selected in such a way that nothing presses on the stomach and chest. It is best to go shopping at the eighth month of pregnancy, since at this time the breast size will be exactly the same as after the baby is born.
Other nuances are also important.
- Season. The selection of the cut and density of the fabric is influenced by how thermophilic the expectant mother is. For example, shirts with short sleeves are suitable for some women, while shirts with long sleeves are suitable for others. At the same time, it is important to remember that after giving birth, the mother must not cool and overheat her breasts.
- Easy access to the chest. It is advisable to buy models with a special system for comfortable feeding. They are very comfortable to wear and support the chest well, keeping its shape.
- Doctor's indications. If a caesarean section is to be performed, then it is necessary to choose models with easy access to the abdomen. Ideal - shirts with zippers for women in childbirth.

Besides, it is important to pay attention to the presence of comfortable fasteners, all kinds of smells and double tops. These additional details give the shirt an elegant look, make it easier to prepare for feeding your baby and hide private parts from prying eyes.
For childbirth, you need to choose a disposable shirt, as it will then have to be thrown away.
