The 10 Best Maternity Robes That You'll Want to Wear Your Entire Pregnancy

The Kindred Bravely Emmaline robe is a popular option that is both fashionable and functional. Made of a mix of modal and spandex, the robe has a satin collar and trim, both of which elevate the look just enough so you feel a little luxe while wearing it. The robe also features two “waist” options where you can tie the belt: the empire waist is perfect for pregnancy since the belt will easily sit on top of your belly, while the traditional waist makes this more comfortable after giving birth. Moms appreciate this versatility, and that it extends the wear of this moderately priced robe.

At first glance, the three-quarter sleeves might seem like they’re not that cozy, but they’re actually great for labor and delivery: The higher sleeves means you can wear the robe in the hospital even if you have an IV line. The sleeve length also ensures they won’t get in the way when performing new mom tasks like washing bottles or bathing your baby. But the real selling point is the deep — and we do mean deep — pockets; you can easily stash a bottle in one and your cell phone in another.

Made of 100% organic cotton, Monica + Andy Organic Lounge Robe has a waffle knit design that adds texture and comfort. The shawl collar adds to the cozy vibes, while also elevating the look. For an even more luxe look, you can pay extra to customize the robe with your initial. 

This is a particularly great option for spring and summer: The cotton is lightweight enough that it never feels too heavy, but still provides a little extra warmth. 

In addition to a soft, comfortable feel, Monica + Andy’s rove has deep pockets that can hold essentials you might need close by, and an attached belt that sits a little higher so it can tie above your belly. It’s also pretty long and falls to about mid-calf, which means it should easily fit over your baby bump, even in the last month of pregnancy. 

The Caden Lane robe is made of bamboo, a lightweight, breathable fabric that has plenty of stretch to grow with your body. That said, it won’t stretch out so much that it’s not wearable after birth. The adjustable ties also make it easy to customize the fit as your body grows.

I bought a Caden Lane robe (and matching newborn pajamas and hat) when I was pregnant with my second daughter, and don’t regret it. The material is super soft and the ties made it easy to adjust the robe, especially when I was nursing. I did, however, find the robe to be a bit low cut when tied, so I often wore a tank top or nursing bra underneath.

It’s also worth noting that this robe is only available in one size, which the brand says works for women who wear sizes small-large. But reviews suggests it has a larger size range: One reviewer said they usually wear XL and XXL and found the robe to fit well. I generally wear a size 6, and I found the robe to be a bit big, but was able to adjust it for a better fit.

This Milkmaid Goods robe is a favorite among What to Expect community members, with moms raving about the soft, organic bamboo fabric that is so lightweight it almost cools you. Some moms found the three-quarter sleeves especially helpful for nursing, as longer sleeves have a tendency of getting in the way when you’re trying to position your breasts and hold a baby. 

It’s super easy to move the top to the side for nursing, thanks to the cross over design. And you can do so with the robe securely fastened to your body: The belt goes through a hole before you tie it for extra security. 

But what we, and other moms, appreciate most is the inclusive sizing, with the robe available up to 5X. And, as an added bonus, you can order a matching swaddle for your little one. 

While not a maternity robe, the Skims Soft Lounge Robe is a great option for those looking for extended sizing. Available up to size 4X, the robe is made of a modal and spandex mix that makes it light, but cozy. In fact, most reviewers rave about the fabric of this one, which has a slightly ribbed texture, is super soft, and provides the right amount of stretch.

Full sleeves keep your arms covered up and the adjustable tie makes it easy to wear this through every trimester. This one also has a side pocket if needed. That said, it does run on the shorter side, so it’s not a full-length option. 

If you want to match your little one in the hospital or at home, you can’t get much better than this Baby Be Mine Maternity Mommy and Me set. It comes with a delivery robe, as well as a matching swaddle and hat, all for under $70. Made of mostly cotton with just a bit of spandex for some nice stretch, this robe feels lightweight but appropriate for most weather.

This one features three-quarter sleeves that are especially great if you plan on wearing it at the hospital and have to deal with an IV line. The length hits at about the knee, and we love that the tie is attached so you don’t have to worry about it falling off. It can also easily be tied over your belly while you’re pregnant, or at your traditional waist line after giving birth. 

Bonus: Hidden side pockets give you a place to store small necessities without making the robe look wider or bulky.

This Old Navy set comes with a soft robe and matching cami nightgown. Made of breathable cotton, the robe is especially great for the hospital, where temperatures can easily fluctuate during labor and delivery. It’s lightweight enough to keep you cool, but full-length sleeves provide warmth. 

Though you won’t be able to wear the nightgown during labor and delivery, it’s perfect for nursing or pumping: The straps are detachable and there is a built-in shelf bra for a little extra support. The robe has side pockets and the belt is removable if you want more of a cardigan and nightgown sort of feel to the look. 

If you’re pregnant in the colder months, you may want to wrap yourself in something thick, like this Brooklinen Super Plush Robe. Made of luxurious Turkish cotton, this robe is essentially a giant blanket that happens to have sleeves. It also hits well below the knees, so it really covers almost every inch of you. 

“I got this one when I had a winter baby and it was amazing for postpartum and staying warm while making nursing easy,” says Robin Hilmantel, Senior Director and Editorial Strategy & Growth at What to Expect and mom of three. 

The shawl-like collar on this robe makes you feel like you’re at a spa, even if you’re just at home with your feet up. The sleeves have adjustable cuffs so you can make them as long or short as you want, and the tie is adjustable as well.

The length of this Barefoot Dreams robe is ideal for those who don’t want a full-length robe. It hits at the knees, so it offers plenty of coverage without feeling overwhelming. It should also still be long enough to accommodate a pregnant belly. 

On top of that, it’s incredibly plush. Made of a perfectly stretchy fabric that works well over a baby bump, it feels like putting on the best blanket you own. It’s warm, cozy, and exactly the type of thing you want to relax in when you’re pregnant (or postpartum). The shawl collar has a luxe look and can be folded back if you want or wrapped around you for extra coverage. We love the center back channel, which keeps the belt in place no matter what. 

For a robe with a little more length that provides extra coverage, the Mori Mama Robe hits below the knees and is designed with plenty of stretch to comfortably cover your growing bump. 

The special lyocell fabric, a synthetic material that feels similar to silk, is incredibly soft with a somewhat cooling feel to it while remaining warm and cozy. I’ve worn several Mori items and the luxurious fabric is hard to match. In addition to the comforting feel and full coverage, this robe also has convenient pockets for storing small items.

“This is my number one for pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond,” says Robin, who also wore this robe while pregnant. “It’s just the absolute softest. Plus, it's fairly lightweight, and it's a good length as it goes past your knees.”
