The Brilliant Maternity-Clothes Policy Every Company Should Offer

Getting dressed when you're pregnant isn't exactly easy. Your body's constantly changing, leading you to try to find innovative ways to #StyleTheBump and take advantage of a few fashion hacks. But one thing most moms-to-be rely on throughout those nine months? Maternity clothes, which allow them to dress comfortably and stylishly as their baby bellies grow.

So when a start-up named Domo realized it couldn't offer the same leave benefits larger companies can (Netflix has unlimited leave for both moms and dads for the first year after birth or adoption), it decided to offer a different something extra: a $2,000 clothing stipend, which expectant women can use to buy a wardrobe's worth of maternity clothes. The money comes in the form of gift cards to popular stores like Nordstrom, A Pea in the Pod, and ASOS and most likely eases the worry about spending dough on items you might not wear after the baby's born.

According to Fortune, five or six people have already used the clothing benefit, and one employee said the perk was "life changing." Here's hoping more companies soon follow suit.
