I wore this during my pregnancy, from the stable period to just before delivery (about 2-3 months). I wore this over sweatshirts and T-shirts. It's very useful as your belly grows. ◯ It has pockets on both sides, and the shoulder straps are adjustable. ◯ You can wear it after giving birth. ◯ It has a slit in the back, making it easy to walk. It's clean with no stains, but it has been stored at home, so please understand. Thank you.
