Leggings are a new-mom must; I resisted leggings for pregnancy since I don't normally wear them, but I absolutely needed them for postpartum and regretted I didn't buy them sooner. Kindred Bravely's Louisa Ultra High-Waisted Maternity & Pregnancy Leggings ($90) are good for both phases, but it's really about wearing them post-baby. With these, you can skip wearing a belly binder, which you need after a C-section, though the thick material will support you no matter how you gave birth.
