Do you ever have that dream--the one where you go to a big, magical store, and everything is shiny and pretty and on a 50% off sale? I do, and I'm usually riding a glittery pink unicorn with shopping baskets as saddle bags. That's why I'…
When I was pregnant with my first child, I went a little crazy with the maternity clothes. And although my husband raised a skeptical eyebrow and tut-tutted about me buying items that I would -- he insisted -- never wear again after preg…
For two pregnancies, my maternity wardrobe consisted of ill-fitting tees that never really covered my belly and dry clean only sweaters that I was afraid to wear. Things sure have changed. I'm smitten with Milan Maternity's line; even th…
We're always on the lookout for cool maternity wear , and we've got a good feeling about this: Celebrity favorite Chiarakruza is bringing their maternity line to Target ! Starting February 15, you can get the look of a Hollywood mom-to-b…
Since the first time I breastfed back in 2004, nursing bras have come a verrrrry long way from the boring hefty brassiere I was stuck with. Now you even can snazz things up with a little satin and lace. Perennial nursing bra fave Bravado…
Oh I know how it is. You've got a May due date (or so), and while you swore you wouldn't buy one more maternity piece, you hit January and your current wardrobe is causing actual mental anguish, you're sick of the cold, you're sick of fe…
I can say, in all honestly, that there have been times when I would not have gone out out in public had I not been wearing my Spanx . That has everything to do with the way Spanx just makes everything feel so supported, both in the lift-…
Confession: I was miserable in the last trimester of both of my pregnancies. Not because I was huge and couldn't see my feet and had a person sitting on my bladder. No, I hated that I was compelled to wear really really boring maternity …
Sure, you can spend hundreds of dollars to get maternity jeans from hip labels, but the cost is exorbitant and you end up wearing them for just a few months. (Or, hopefully just a few months.) I know there are more options around now tha…
You guyyyyys... We're so so grateful so many of those of you who rallied and voted for us as The Best Fashion Blog for Moms by The Bump . But because we want you to have more to show for it than carpal tunnel, we're turning over our priz…
Can you recommend a service that offers hospital bags with wonderful goodies for a new mom? I loved the goodies inside the one I received last year and now my daughter uses the bag as her 'overnight' bag for all our trips . -Christina We…
Maternity wear has come a long way in the nine years since I had my first baby, but for most of us, the local maternity shopping options are limited, and trolling the Internet for deals takes time away from napping -- an important part o…
These was no way in heck I could wear regular underwear when I was pregnant. Between my growing belly and bum, and my desire to have absolutely nothing grabbing or pulling on me, I had to give in and purchase the special maternity underp…
If you plan on leaving the house for any point of your 40 week pregnancy, you can't just get away with nine months of stretch-waist yoga pants and Target maternity tees. Not that I didn't try, mind you. I needed some clothes I could actu…
When I was pregnant, I was always amazed about how little I felt like myself. Yes, having babies is a beautiful, glorious thing, but darn if I didn't feel like a beached whale stuffed in some boring tenty t-shirt. Oh how I longed to feel…
We've come across a few prepacked maternity bags and I have to say the idea is generally better than the execution. The bags often have these huge ugly logos on it that say something awful like NEW MOMMY ON BOARD and they're filled with …
Contrary to what people try to tell me, breastfeeding alone does not seem to make the pregnancy pounds melt off. Looks like gym visits are in my immediate future. However, nursing in a regular old sports bra is a royal pain in the butt, …
While we love the gifts and gear for the wee ones in our lives, we're always on the lookout for services and support just for the hard-working parents out there. Here are some of our favorites that we discovered this year. Liz: This year…
Very few things make me wish I were pregnant again. Until now. Rosie Pope, former dancer and model and now a new mom, recently opened a flagship maternity store in Soho where people like Naomi, Salma and Gwen all shopped. But, thanks to …
If you had told me that I'd be wearing leggings almost every day during my pregnancies I would have laughed at you. Well, politely of course. But when I realized how great they felt and looked, I got over myself and gave in to the trend.…
Invisibelt is basically an invisible belt that every fashionista seems to be buzzing about these days. Yes, it's invisible in that magic Wonderwoman airplane sort of a way because it's clear plastic, but also invisible in that it's desig…
The way I see it, with every baby I have my boobs drop a centimeter. That's not so bad when you're wearing a super duper mama bra, but not so great when you're letting them hang free for those precious 15 minutes before going horizontal …
I'm conspicuously absent from photos taken after the birth of each of my babies. I know a lot of you mamas knows what I'm talking about. But it wasn't even my complexion and weight that were making me camera-shy; it was my lady parts--my…
Now at the tail end of my third pregnancy, I admit that I feel the total opposite of sexy. The gigunda belly coupled with the larger than life butt tucked into some pretty scary maternity underpants do not help the situation. But with a …
