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 […]

Pregnancy makes boobs crazy, and it starts right from the first trimester. The past twelve weeks have taken a painful turn, leaving me vulnerable to sensitivities. While a few of my regular bras are still comfortably wearable, softer and more gently supportive, maternity specific bras have […]
After a tense few months of anxiety and nausea, earlier this week I was finally able to share some exciting news – I’m pregnant! If you’ve been following the blog for a while you’ll know why I’d be nervous this time around, when a year […]
I never gave maternity lingerie much of a thought before I became pregnant. I knew it existed but I couldn’t quantify from first hand experience how important and, really quite necessary, a good fitting maternity bra is. So when I found myself needing a maternity bra, […]
