If you are newly pregnant or have a few weeks left to go, you may already be learning — like I did — that pregnancy is not always a wonderful feeling and beautiful thing. Your body is going through countless changes and I can attest to the fact that many of those changes are downright […]
One aspect of pregnancy that you may have given very little (or maybe a lot!) of thought about is your maternity wardrobe. It doesn’t matter how your clothes fit now — early in your pregnancy. But at some point, you’ll need to make some adjustments to your wardrobe so you can dress for two without sacrificing your […]
For some expecting women, making modifications to clothing for pregnancy is a big no-no. However, you know your financial situation better than anyone else. And while it can be tempting to run out and purchase the latest fashions in maternity clothing — just keep in mind that it’s very likely you’ll only be wearing that […]
For many pregnant women, the first 2 trimesters are a breeze. With little to no morning sickness, average weight gain, and glowing skin, it may not seem like there’s much to complain about — until the third trimester arrives.

As birth approaches, excited anticipation coupled with unpleasant side effects presented by pregnancy make it a tense and frustrating time. While a full term pregnancy comes at 40 weeks, it […]
You’re not alone. It’s common to struggle with losing weight after pregnancy. Caring for a newborn baby leaves little time for exercise. As a busy mom, your time no longer belongs to you — because your little one relies on you entirely for constant care. With so little time to yourself, you may feel like it’s impossible to get back […]
If you haven’t given much thought to how you will feed your baby once they arrive, there’s no time like the present! You have to decide whether you want to feed your baby formula or breast milk. There are many reasons why some moms prefer formula right off the bat. Regardless of whether you intend […]
