Maternity Must-Haves For The Chic Mama To Be!!!
Thinking of my first pregnancy I remember many large floral prints and bright colored maternity clothes and basically deciding it would be easier to just stay home in my stretch pants and husband’s t-shirts. Boy, have times changed! Being pregnant no longer means wearing dowdy, ugly, over-sized clothes and feeling so incredibly unattractive! Baby bumps are in and being chic is easy! Here are some of our Favorite Things for the Chic Mama To Be!
Ingrid & Isabel are keeping many baby bumps around the world comfy and happy!! We LOVED the Bella Band, LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it!! Crista was so excited to report that she was able to wear her regular jeans and pants throughout her entire pregnancy!!! (You go, girl!) Not only does the Bella Band save you money by keeping you in your clothes longer, you feel great about wearing your regular worn-in jeans!!! It keeps your pants up, keeps your belly supported and keeps your bump comfy! EVERY mom to be should have one, or two, or the entire collection!! And that is completely feasible considering that the prices range from only $26 for The Everyday Bella Band and $30 for the Lace Bella Band…and all the selections come in a variety of colors!!
The Ruched Tank is super comfortable and makes you feel sooo sexy!!! Didn’t know that was possible during pregnancy, did you? It fits like a glove and really celebrates the beauty of the pregnant body. (And a steal at $48!!) The Everyday Cami is also so very comfy and supports your growing bump without feeling squished. It’s super soft, unendingly stretchy, and extra long making it perfect to wear with everything. You’ll love their cami because it will hug your growing belly, create a smooth silhouette under your cute new maternity tops, and cover your belly under your favorite pre-pregnancy tops. You’ll want at least 3 and you will get your money’s worth at $32 a piece considering you will use this after the baby is born too!!
We are also fans of their BellyLeggings ($52) and Everywear Pant ($88). They are also very comfortable and made perfectly for pregnant moms. (We did feel like they ran a little snug in the thigh area though, so consider that when buying yours!) One cute thing to point out about the Everywear Pant is that the top can double as a fold-over skirt for extra tushie coverage too! Cute and practical…we love that!
At the end of your pregnancy, pamper yourself with something special for the big day! You’ll feel like a queen on her throne while wearing your Peanut Shell Hospital Gown in your bed! You’ve made it through your pregnancy in style, so go out with a bang! You’ll feel like a million bucks and fool everyone after only paying $89!! Visit www.thepeanutshell.com for more lovely products for the mom to be as well like their Baby Sling ($64) and Nursing Cover ($38) and more beautiful products with lovely prices to boot!
The Belly Bandit…a fun name…A MUST HAVE!! This little pregnancy accessory is like a miracle!!!! Crista has rubbed it in that she is back in her pre-pregnancy jeans within LESS THAN 3 WEEKS!!! OMG, right????? (We all officially hate you, by the way) The Belly Bandit helps to compress your abdomen and uterus, helping your uterus to go down and your mid-section to go back to where it should be SO much faster. It helps c-section moms too, providing extra support where you need it most. Priced very reasonably at between $39.95 and $59.95 they’re the undeniably affordable and non-surgical post-baby tummy tuck that you’ve dreamed about! Seriously girls, a product that you can not live without!!
The C-Panty is a high-end panty for C-Section moms with a very affordable (and so worth it!) price of $55 for the Classic Incision Care & C-Panty Shaper Combo. With a silicone patch in the incision area to promote healing and reduce scarring, this is a girl’s best friend! Here is what C-Panty’s website says about their product, “Did you know that it takes 6 weeks for a uterus to return to pre-pregnancy size? Since a Cesarean entails an incision in the uterus and your clothing and intimates rest there, you have good reason to feel that your underwear and pant waistbands feel uncomfortable…even after the skin wound is closed! C-panty’s waistband is wide, non-elastic and slightly fluted to avoid pressure and address this comfort concern. (Yes moms, you can toss the mesh panties! No more digging waistbands!)” We like it, we love it, we want you to get some of your own!
We hope all of your pregnancies and deliveries are happy and healthy and oh so CHIC!!
