If you’re still hunting for the perfect comfort bra, today you can call off the search. Whether you’re after a nursing bra, sleep bra or just a really comfy wire-free bra for everyday wear, I swear I have finally found the holy grail of comfort bras that’s […]
If pregnancy doesn’t come with enough reasons to worry the whole nine months long, it turns out there’s another one to add to the list. Your midwife has probably never mentioned it, the NHS doesn’t routinely test you for it, but it’s one of the […]
Bralettes have surged in popularity in recent times and it’s interesting to wonder why. With fashion magazines declaring that cleavage is dead, could it mean that no one cares for the push up and plunge effect anymore? Perhaps it’s the eradication of confining under-wiring that’s becoming more acceptable, […]
Maternity lingerie can be too beige. Don’t get me wrong, beige has its place, it’s fantastic when you want a neutral colour that won’t show through your clothes. But sometimes neutral, basic colours don’t cut it, and maternity underwear can be guilty of being so niche, […]
Preparing the birth plan for my fast approaching due date, I’ve decided a water birth sounds ideal for me. I don’t cope with pain particularly well and have a long suffering history of painful periods and chronic pain, so all the positive stories I keep reading about water births […]

This week marks a new milestone in my pregnancy – I’m 28 weeks and officially into the 3rd trimester! Although I’m struggling with pre-exisiting health conditions coming back to haunt me and pelvic pain forcing me onto crutches, I am lucky enough to be otherwise enjoying […]
I’m continually amazed by how breast change in pregnancy falls in line with bump development. It took me until the start of the 2nd trimester for my tummy to really start growing, by which time my bras also started to feel less comfortable. While it didn’t […]
Good maternity clothing isn’t the easiest to find. While many of the highstreet fashion stores carry maternity lines, they’re typically quite limited, and I’ll admit I’ve not had the best of luck finding exactly what I want. Being a winter mummy-to-be means that I not only […]
