Whether she’s wearing a swimsuit or anything else, thePretty Little Liarsalum makes sure one big checkbox is ticked nowadays: comfort.
“I have some maternity-wear pants that I absolutely love and wouldn’t be able to do without. All of my jeans are maternity and from maternity stores,” she tells PEOPLE. “I think you can also get away with wearing normal clothes you would be wearing every day just in bigger sizes. You make it work.”
“I haven’t changed my style because I’m pregnant,” Mitchell reveals. “I wear all of the same stuff. I curated this collection before I was pregnant. I feelempowered dressing my bump. When I was hiding it, it was very difficult.”
“Some people thought that I knew and I was like, ‘No, absolutely not,’ " she says. “My assistant kept [it a secret] until she told [the Power Rangers] right before they came out. We thought we were having a boy.”
The parents-to-be have bought just three outfits for their daughter on the way — but rest assured she will “have a great wardrobe” when she arrives.
“I will gohamwhen I meet her,” Mitchell admits. “Monica [Rose, Mitchell’s stylist] will style her. It’ll be amazing. It’llbe fun twinning the whole timeuntil she can tell me no.”

Mitchell, whopreviously suffered a miscarriagein 2018, celebrated her pregnancy announcement on YouTube late last month with a vlog titled “Guess Who’s Preggers.”
She wrote inthe 2-minute video’s description, “It’s exciting, nerve-racking, difficult and emotional all at the same time. Everyone waits for the right time to make the announcement and for me, it wasn’t until I couldn’t hide it anymore and was tired of wearing over sized sweatshirts.”
Now, Mitchell tells PEOPLE it was “really important to” her to reveal her pregnancy on her own terms. “I really wanted tomake sure that I announced itwhen I was ready and not before. And that’s exactly what happened,” she says. “So now, being able to shoot about my pregnancy for my channel and all of that, it feels right. It worked out perfectly.”
