Pregnancy pants
Yes, I will admit that I do actually wear pregnancy pants (and I’m not pregnant). These pants are sooooooooo comfy, I just about live in them. I have to “test” them out, of course!
You can pull up over belly, or fold over hips.

C-Section Recovery
And finally, here is another article with tips for C-Section Recovery.
I wish I had followed this! When I had my 2nd c-section, I didn’t give myself time to slow down. That ended up in my scar almost pulling apart – and my recovery taking much longer than it would have if I had just given myself time.
How did you annouce your pregnancy?
How did you announce your pregnancy news to friends and family?
here’s a few ideas to start you off…. Pregnancy Annoucements

Breastfeeding Cover
Received this lovely email…
“My name is
Recently we had a Mum come along to a group and she was using one of your nursing covers. It was the first time seeing one in action, at other times we have only seen the use of a plain wrap or blanket. Your covers are fantastic! We love the simple way they work really effectively, with the neck being rigid, what a great way for Mums ti maintain visual contact with their bub! Privacy and the confidence to breastfeed in public is a common concern for Mums and we see your wrap being a valuable way for Mums obtain both.
Empowering Mums to have the confidence to breastfeed in public is a big thing!”

There is definitely a lack of maternity stores in Tauranga so will pass it around once I start antenatal classes!

Pregnancy Body Changes - Weird Stuff
Being pregnant is certainly not without its challenges! Aside from the obvious expected body changes – a growing tummy, swollen breasts, morning sickness and slightly erratic moods – many mums-to-be also endure their fair share of unusual, but frankly quite amazing, changes as their body prepares for the exciting journey ahead. Don’t be too surprised if you find yourself experiencing some of these rather curious and sometimes downright weird body changes during pregnancy. You can read this article here:

Maternity Clothes
Maternity clothes have come along way in recent years - gone are the pinafores, smocks, and gigantic dresses. These days garments are figure hugging and flattering to show of your gorgeous belly and suit your mummy curves.
Shop for Maternity Clothes Online at our trusted store
The basics of maternity clothes include the following:
- maternity tops and tshirts. Designed with a good fit across your shoulders and stretch over your bump, generally slightly longer in length than standard pre-pregnancy tshirts, and with a curved dip at the front so there is enough fabric to cover your bump. Ruched sides to allow for shape. Many designs are also suitable to be used as nursing tops when baby is born. Look for clothing in easy care fabrics.
- Maternity tunics are very practical, as they can easily accommodate your shape. These go great with leggings and boots. Team them up with maternity tights - these are specially designed with a wider belly gusset and don't gut across the top of your bump.
- Maternity jeans and pants, and summer shorts: these are designed with either a stretchy waistband or extendable elastic. Maternity pants with stretchy waistbands are so functional! You can wear the waistband pulled up over your belly which is a great way to bridge any skin gap that might be showing below your tshirt, and it also provides gentle support. Alternatively you can fold the waistband lower and wear it over your hips. This functionality ensures that the pants can last you throughout your entire pregnancy.
- Maternity jeans with extendable elastic - these are made with elastic that you can access in the waistband and you can pull tight or loosen, and fasten through a specially placed button at the fly opening. This means that you can adjust your pants as your belly grows.
Maternity skirts are popular - wear with tights and boots in winter, or sandals in summer. These are generally also made with stretchy waistbands that you can roll up or wear down. Bright bold patterns are a great way to feel fantastic.
Maternity dresses are available online too, which are great for a special occasion like attending a summer wedding. Maternity dresses usually have a fitted effect across your belly.
Even if you are a larger plus size women - wearing fitted maternity clothing is more flattering than wearing looser garments which will tend to exaggerate your size.
The crucial piece of advice that we can give you when it comes to buying maternity clothing - DO NOT wear your partner's tshirts. They won't be flattering at all, and you need to cherish your new body shape rather than hiding under his baggy tshirts!!
