This weekend just gone was lovely! My husband (totally amazing and wonderful might i add...)celebrated his birthday on Sunday, and on Saturday we spent the afternoon underwear shopping for my ever expanding frame..Thongs never looked so big with extra material for the ol bump and bras sans the wired for mums to be, it spurred research into plus size/pregnant underwear...
I cannot stress the importance of good support when u have a fuller figure and especially pregnant-the extra weight can take its toll so be prepared!
There are a few golden rules one must observe when underwear shopping. Firstly is as obvious as it may seem, be sure to know your size, get measured to avoid long term back/shoulder problems! Also getting the right size will avoid skin spilling over look which can be unsightly and ruin the overall look of your outfit...
support and comfort rolled into 1...
Don’t think u have to compromise on style just because you are pregnant....I came across a lingerie company that specialises in underwear for pregnant women called "Cake" and I hope these images inspire u….its not all functional and frumpy when you are expecting a baby...
...I’ve now reached the stage of pregnancy where its pretty obvious...I’m heavy tired hot (apparently I am emotionally unbalanced lately. cough cough husband) and missed the memo concerning the burst of energy and enthusiasm you get once you pass the first trimester.....i have that pregnancy look...where my nose has expanded...and i just don’t look like me anymore...oh my! yikes I’m just embracing it and thinking of the day i see Lil Kicker...aka my baby!
On a more positive note...lucky for me the biggest part of my pregnancy is being spent in the summer months, which means I can really utilise on the maxi dress trend
I’m wearing loose clothes and am trying to combine comfort support and style... I’ve also looked at a number of women during their pregnancies to see how they managed to remain fashion savvy and chic. Here are some of my favourite looks..
Motherhood is a blessing indeed ....
On the food front, I’ve discovered that you can actually get tailor made food menus per trimester, so apparently as I’m now in my third trimester I should b upping my vitamin K content...My cravings for scramble eggs and brown bread have been replaced for pineapples and grapes...but i can allow more greens too...nb i still have two birthday cakes from Sunday that couldnt go to waste!..there is so much info out there its really interesting how there is a whole "pregnant" world of info and forums waiting to be discovered...! x Teiko & Co
