Every pregnant mum wants to look like a
glowing yummy mummy, right? Who wouldn’t
want to look like Kate Hudson did during her ‘yummy mummy’ months with glowing
skin and hair and beautiful design of maternity work clothes to show off your oh-so-small but
perfected rounded bump?
We’ve asked our pregnant girlfriends for
the best pregnancy advice to give others:
Be prepared to invest in a smart ‘yummy mummy’ wardrobe to
include basic and stand out pieces full of colour that scream, ‘look at my
bump’. Take a cue from the
celebrity moms and bear all, showing off and accentuating your new body
shape and that cute little bump forming in your belly. Of course, we’re not suggesting that you
go out and buy maternity slogan tees that say, ‘baby under construction’
or something similar …. Instead, try to style your new body shape to
accentuate your shapely new curves with layering techniques, colour and a
various mix of textured fabrics to create interest and sex appeal.
If money is an
obstacle, use girlfriends ‘hand me downs’ to layer and accessorise, mixing new
and the not-so-new together to create your own individual look. You might be lucky enough to bag some
bargains through eBay or the clearance section on other online stores.
Consider investing
in nursing clothes that can be worn during your pregnancy too, this way getting
the most out of your investment.
Accessorise yourself!
Invest in lots of bangles, bracelets and earrings to create colour
and interest to compliment your new look.
Bags can also enhance the look of your outfit and don’t be afraid
to opt for bright colours too!
Choose your own level of comfort in shoes. These days there is so much choice
available to provide you with many flat shoe options so you’ll always be
comfortable. We all know that
killer heels look very sexy, but unfortunately, in the real world,
pregnant feet tend to swell, especially in the hotter months and keeping
cool and comfortable is a pregnancy essential!
Pamper yourself! Regular
trips to the hair salon are a must, as well as pedicure and manicure
treats to help make you look and feel like a Pregnancy Princess!
Help around the home.
This is an ideal opportunity to get hubby to help with all the
domestic chores around the house, including running baths for the Pregnant
Princess (yeah right!) …… well, we can but try!
Manage stress more effectively through better time management,
delegation or smaller workload.
Stress is something that is not very healthy for mum or baby and this
can have a huge impact on the health of the individuals, resulting in poor
energy levels and mood swings. Light but regular exercise is also a
great way to help alleviate stress levels either through lunch break
walks, or after work yoga or swimming classes and is also fantastic for
getting those endorphins flowing through the bloodstream.
Healthy eating is something that is always talked about via
health care professionals and of course, it is something that we all need
to take seriously.
Super foods and
supplements are encouraged as is the reduction of sugars and complex
carbohydrates, preferring fresh healthy options instead.
