The update is a result of <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">from <\/span>feedback from maternity focus groups, questionnaires and fit evaluations, she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Richeson could not specify if the changes apply to both the dress uniform and Airman Battle Uniform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maternity uniforms vary by mess dress, service dress, and semi-formal dress, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.afpc.af.mil\/shared\/media\/document\/AFD-140814-096.pdf\" title=\"http:\/\/www.afpc.af.mil\/shared\/media\/document\/AFD-140814-096.pdf\">Air Force Instruction 36-2903<\/a>. Enlisted members wear the maternity semi-formal dress uniform for social occasions, but can wear the maternity mess dress uniform that officers wear for formal or official occasions. This includes the dark blue jumper over the white maternity blouse, and a tie tab. Jumper medals and ribbons vary for enlisted airmen and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nametags and the blue maternity blouse \u2014 long or short sleeve \u2014 are only worn with service dress. Women can also wear a long sleeve blouse and tie tab with their slacks or skirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the Airman Battle Uniform, the maternity ABU coat may be worn if medically necessary, determined by competent medical authorities and approved by the commander, the AFI states. A tan t-shirt \u2014 interchangeable with the tan turtleneck \u2014 may be worn untucked while wearing the maternity ABU<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">, but must be tucked in otherwise<\/span>. Belts are not required with the maternity trousers, and tucking the ABU trouser into the boot is optional, but must be evenly gathered enough over the combat boot for a &#8221;bloused&#8221; appearance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"rte rte-comment\">The AFI also states that m<\/span>Maternity uniforms may be worn for up to six months after delivery, according to <a
