gender-neutral single-word-requests political-correctness sexual-minorities

Solution 1:

The clear and obvious choice would be to call it pregnancy wear (worn while pregnant) or nursing clothes (worn to easily facilitate breastfeeding), as in these examples:

  • Maternity Clothes & Pregnancy Wear | JoJo Maman Bébé

    • Beautiful maternity and nursing clothes and practical maternity products from JoJo Maman Bébé.

  • Maternity Clothes & Pregnancy Clothes | Motherhood Maternity
  • Maternity Clothes | Pregnancy Clothing | boohoo
  • View All Nursing Wear - Milk & Baby

  • See all of our breastfeeding tops, shirts, tanks, sweaters, and dresses made for breastfeeding.

(It's interesting to note that maternity is used as a keyword on many of these pages.)

In the case of “maternity leave”, the common term is “new parent leave”, which is a bit broader as it can cover anyone who is getting a child, such as the non-pregnant spouse or anyone adopting a child.
