Unwind in Style: Maternity Pajamas for Relaxing

By Babe

Pregnancy can be an incredibly special time — but let’s be real, it can also be exhausting AF. From dealing with morning sickness and restless legs to the million and one things you feel like you need to do before baby arrives, getting a good night’s sleep might feel more impossible than ever. 

One thing that might help you catch some ZZZ’s is a peaceful and relaxing bedtime routine. Light some candles, brew a cup of tea, and commit yourself to unwinding. And if you don’t already have some comfy maternity pajamas to throw on, it’s time to get some — PJs have a huge impact on how we sleep, and if anyone deserves to sleep soundly, it’s you.

Keep reading for a roundup of our very favorite maternity pajamas.

The Cutest Maternity Nightgown

This is the nightgown we just can’t get enough of. Made with 100% cotton in a pretty pointelle pattern, the Pointelle Nightgown comes in four colorways: Porcelain Floral, Amethyst, Black, and Antique Rose. It’s perfect for before, during, and after pregnancy, thanks to super-stretchy fabric and a front button placket that makes nursing a breeze

Style, functionality, AND comfort? Um, yes, please! It might be a nightgown, but don’t be surprised if you find yourself lounging around in it allllll day long. Now that’s a motherhood staple.

The Ultimate Pajama Set

Nothing says “I have my life together” quite like a matching PJ set. That’s why we love this Ultra Soft Jersey Set – it positively screams luxury, ease, and relaxation. You might feel chaotic and stressed during the day, but once these PJs go on? No stress allowed; thank you very much.

The buttery-soft jersey fabric comes in two colors: Hot pink and a simple shade of black (AKA our two moods). The waistband on the pants is elastic and designed to sit comfortably under, over, or above your bump. Meanwhile, the button-up top allows easy access for nursing, so you can wear these PJs as long into your postpartum days as you want. 

If you don’t have any maternity pajamas and need a few good sets to get you through pregnancy, look no further — the Ultra Soft Jersey PJ Set is the perfect starting place. 

24/7 Feeding Romper

Pregnancy can be tough. Some days it’s all you can do to get out of bed, let alone change out of your PJs and make yourself look presentable. With the 24/7 Feeding Romper, you don’t have to worry about either – this maternity wardrobe staple does all the work for you. 

While technically a romper, the ultra-soft lightweight cotton and flowy silhouette of this piece make it comfy enough to sleep in (trust us, we tried it). An adjustable drawstring waistband means that you can adjust the sizing as you please, while the button closures on the front provide easy access for nursing. 

In other words, you can wear this 24/7, before, during, and after pregnancy. Your maternity wardrobe prayers have been answered. 

Hatch-to-Hospital Box

Most PJs are designed for the everyday. These PJs are designed for the most important day of your life. 

That’s right – everything in the Hatch-to-Hospital Box has been carefully selected for maximum comfort, coziness, and pampering on your due date. The box includes our favorite Bamboo Brief, full coverage without labels or elastic; a nursing-friendly nightgown and matching robe, both made with an ultra-soft bamboo blend; and HATCH x Maria La Rosa socks, made in Italy. 

In other words, it’s all the little luxuries you need to be as comfortable and cozy as possible in the hospital. This is one of life’s biggest moments: You deserve to celebrate in style.

The Postpartum Sleep Bundle

Maternity PJs aren’t just for pregnancy. You’ll also want them during the fourth trimester while you recover from delivery (and possibly begin breastfeeding). And as far as postpartum sleepwear goes, this New Mama Sleep Bundle is the top of the line. 

This bundle includes the High Tuck Brief, over-the-belly undies that offer c-section support; the Skin-to-Skin Bra, so lightweight and comfy you can sleep in it; and the Classic Jersey PJ Set in a modal blend that feels like silk against your skin. 

We particularly love the contrast piping detail and elastic waistband on this pajama set. It’s these thoughtful details that really take this sleep bundle to the next level. Once you put it on, you may never want to take it off. You’ve been warned!

Bonus: A Bedtime Bath Soak

It might not be a set of PJs, but in our opinion, this belly and body bath soak is just as essential for unwinding before bed. Organic coconut milk and acacia fiber soothe and nourish, while Himalayan sea salt adds rich minerals to ease tired and sore muscles. 

Draw yourself a bath (or, better yet, have your partner do it) and soak for a while before stepping into your coziest PJs. Pretty soon, you’re going to be a mom — you deserve all the relaxation you can get.
