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 […]
I know many of you love a high waist brief. The retro aesthetic and comfort fit can be hard to resist, and I must admit, right now I’m all about big knickers. Although normally I tend to prefer a lower cut brief, especially a high leg or […]
Pregnancy changes things, your breasts being one (or two) of them. While everything’s focussed on the little life inside you, there’s just as much going on in the bra department. In fact, even before your bump has begun surfacing, most likely your boobs are already looking different, […]
Recently I had the dilemma of needing tights, only I needed maternity hosiery and I was quickly surprised by how difficult this was to get a hold of. In the end I opted for hold ups – why I hadn’t thought of it sooner, I’ll never know! It […]
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 […]
My maternity journey is proving to be the most transformative season of my life, right after puberty. If not only for the scarily impending responsibility motherhood will soon heap onto my shoulders, but the constant daily change I’m seeing in my body as I head toward that goal. […]
Coming toward the colder weather I’ve wondered what I’d wear with having limited choices to dress my baby bump. Since my tummy has really started to grow, I’ve not been able to wear some of my usual wardrobe, and I’ve had to buy maternity versions […]
