What to Wear After Giving Birth: Your Fourth Trimester Wardrobe

The fourth trimester is one of the most intense, emotional, and beautiful stages of motherhood—and yet, it’s often the most overlooked when it comes to clothing. While everyone prepares for the pregnancy phase, few talk about what to wear after giving birth. At Story of Mom, we believe this stage deserves softness, comfort, and design that meets you where you are.

After birth, your body is recovering. Whether you’ve had a natural delivery or a C-section, comfort becomes a necessity—not a luxury. Loose, breathable fabrics that are gentle on your skin are essential. That’s why our entire collection is made from double gauze cotton. It’s soft, naturally crinkled (so no ironing!), lightweight, and perfect for sensitive skin.

Postpartum bodies also fluctuate—some days you’ll feel bloated, others you’ll be sweating through feeds or holding your baby skin-to-skin. Our pieces like the robe or front-open shirt sets give you room to move, nurse, lounge, and feel beautiful doing it.

One of our top recommendations? A soft robe for layering during hospital stays and at-home recovery. It’s ideal for breastfeeding and nighttime changes, while also making you feel just a bit more polished when guests arrive.

Another hero piece: our front-open shirt and pant set. Designed for gentle access, it works whether you’re nursing or simply need breathable comfort that doesn’t look like loungewear.

Our approach to postpartum clothing is rooted in a single idea: comfort without compromise. You don’t need 15 new outfits—you need a few thoughtful ones that feel like an extension of your skin.

As your baby transitions into the world, your wardrobe should help you feel held, comforted, and seen. That’s why we create fourth trimester pieces made in India, designed for Indian climates, and built with the kind of care only another mom would understand.
