From a “getting dressed” perspective, the 4th trimester is a bit of a sh*t show. You’re no longer pregnant, but you look pregnant. Your boobs are leaking, your body is swollen and you may or may not be bleeding. Oh, and did we mention your in-laws are coming for lunch?
Fear not, dear mama. When it comes to 4th trimester, it’s all about keeping things comfy, chill, and hey, maybe a little cute with postpartum essentials that get the job done. Whether that job means nursing around the clock, recovering from a c-section, or actually going into an office, it’s all about easy-access nursing tops, cozy leggings that give you a little shape, a multi-functional tank that doubles as a nursing/pumping bra, and jumpsuits that make you look like you have it together. And one day, you will, we swear! But in the meantime, peep these must-have pieces.
Feel like yourself and do all the things you need to do. This nursing tank features a built-in bra, front strap adjuster, and an ultra-comfy plush backing. This one’s a postpartum essential you’ll be glad you have.
In a moisture-wicking bamboo blend that’s Oeko-Tex certified and C-section friendly (aka no rubbing) with more reassuring compression than our Ultra Soft for a wear everywhere, sculpting fit that feels so good (before, during and after). Maternity legging, found.
Meet the Seamless Belly Brief, made for the new you. Features full coverage + all-day support with light, gentle compression designed to support you through your postpartum recovery.
Two custom washes, infinite possibilities. Meet our Denim Maternity Overalls: our one-and-done solution for all four trimesters. With adjustable side buttons (and straps) this pair will grow with you throughout your entire pregnancy. We finished these off with a back waistband for extra shape, custom buttons and rivets, and our signature pink HATCH stitching at the belt loop.
Our Everyday Nursing Bra was made with AM to PM, 24/7 comfort in mind thanks to the wireless design that never digs. We believe that your nursing underpinnings should be ultra-soft and ultra-functional, which is why we crafted this bra from Pima cotton and added a one-handed clasp with four back settings to accommodate your changing size. Super adjustable, super comfy, super essential for right now.
Cut from a luxe, ultra-soft jersey fabric, this jumpsuit is a maternity and postpartum dream. We included functionality like a top layer that lifts up for easy nursing or pumping access, with side ruched detailing and a tapered-leg silhouette that was made to flatter. Dress it up, dress it down—whatever you’re feeling.
We developed our Skin To Skin Bra to feel like a second skin (AKA, it almost feels as good as being naked). A flattering ballet neckline complements the hardware-free design, making it your new feeding-friendly top drawer favorite.
With a seamless design in a finely ribbed modal blend, this is the bra crafted for you, for now. The nursing clasp, adjustable straps, + pull-down design allow for seamless feeds, plus the front fabric overlap opens to discreet slits for pumping. Even better? It’s Oeko-Tex certified (aka, free of harmful chemicals).
This second-skin essential brief is crafted from cooling fabric with a double layer at the front and an elastic waistband that stretches with you. Plus, the bamboo viscose gusset wicks away moisture (and it comes in a feminine floral print). Designed for wear through all four trimesters and beyond.
This pregnancy + postpartum best-seller features a suuuuper soft ribbed knit fabric that’s both cozy yet breathable (hello, night sweats) and a nursing-friendly snap front placket for easy, on-the-go feeding. She’s classic, she’s functional, and (most importantly during postpartum) she’s machine-washable.
Everything you want in your favorite tee, and then some. We crafted this HATCH signature in the softest, drapey jersey fabric, with a wide boat-neck, fitted sleeves, and a roomy but flattering shape. Its an everyday essential you’ll wear both during and long after pregnancy.
A nursing-friendly (and ultra-comfortable) postpartum wardrobe staple, featuring a functional snap placket front and v-neck design. And not to brag but…the ultra-soft rib knit fabric feels like a cloud.
The only thing better than a jumpsuit is a nursing-friendly one in super duper soft cotton. With a pretty pointelle pattern, easy feeding access, and front patch pockets for stashing a buncha stuff in, you’ll never want to take it off. So go ahead: feed in it, sleep in it, run errands in it…get crazy.
The 4th Tri nursing bundle: Whether it’s nursing at home or welcoming your first visitors, what you put on during those early days should be both functional and comfortable so you can settle into your new skin and new chapter.
Our classic pointelle nightgown designed in ultra soft, super breathable cotton. We included a button placket for easy feeding, but pro tip: the stretchy fabric has so much give that you probably don’t even need to unbutton to nurse. A pregnancy, postpartum, and mom-hood staple.
