Maternity Clothes – Fall Winter Top 3

Maternity Clothes – Fall Winter Top 3

We came across this amazing maternity fashion brand, Happymum, and loved it instantly. From their beautiful collection, we picked our 3 favorites for this fall and winter season.

Maternity Clothes - Happymum
Maternity Clothes – Happymum – Shirt Style Monaco Melange Top

Our Favorites

1.Shirt Style Monaco Melange Top

A bit of nonchalance and a bit of charm, meaning a marriage of a shirt and tracksuit fabric. It slenderises the body shape, emphasizes the waist and guarantees a sophisticated chic look. Instead of a collar and cuffs we chose some soft pleats. Can be worn to look ultra elegant as well as so called “sporty style”. The trendy shade of grey melange matches great to jeans or an elegant “bottom”. The zipper at the back is not only decorative but also makes dressing easy. The half-hip length helps to hide excess kilograms.

Fabric composition: 70% cotton, 22% polyester, 8% elastane

2.Marshmallow 3D Jersey Maternity Smart Dress

Maternity Clothes - Happymum
Marshmallow 3D Jersey Maternity Smart Dress

A glamourous, empire waist maternity dress is an excellent style for mums-to-be. It highlights the waistline and makes the silhouette look light by hiding excess kilograms. The tulip shape skirt balances the proportions and provides space for the growing belly. The top of the dress is made of trendy, 3D jersey of a subtle pattern of powder pink flowers on grey background. The neckline with a slight V-cut adds up a feminine and subtle look. Marshmallow maternity dress is perfect for any occasion, with a cute pair of platforms and a hat during the day or accessorized with heels and some well chosen jewellery for the evening. Perfect for maternity, yet stylish even after birth.

Fabric composition: 70% cotton, 22% polyester, 8% elastane

Maternity Clothes - Happymum
Keep Me Warm Jacket – Happymum Keep Me Warm Jacket

3.Keep Me Warm Jacket

An extremely comfortable and warm jacket. When your baby is born, tie up the drawstring and keep it wearing.

 

Fabric composition:35% cotton, 65% polyester

Maternity ClothesQueen Mum & Keep Calm – Fun Pregnancy T-Shirts

Keep Calm and Carry on – a British propaganda poster of II World War time inspired a countless amount of slogans. Happymum’s KEEP CALM I’M PREGNANT T-shirt was designed by a Happy-mum-to-be in course of a “Design your own T-shirt” competition. Wear it and be sure other people will smile to you.

2. Medical Details

  • take (copies) of medical records in your bag
  • know your blood type
  • get a list of hospitals from the tourist board and keep a list of emergency contacts

3. Comfortable Footwear

Enjoy pregnancy without foot pain. When you’re planning to stroll through romantic cities on your babymoon, make sure you pack the right choice of shoes.

Are sore feet a symptom you must deal with during pregnancy? According to the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS) the answer is “no.” There are many remedies available to help alleviate foot pain.

According to Marybeth Crane, DPM, FACFAS, a Dallas-area foot and ankle surgeon, women often experience foot pain during pregnancy because of increased weight, foot instability and swelling.  “In the last five years, I’ve seen an increase in pregnant women with foot pain because more women than ever before are active, even running marathons, during their pregnancies,” Dr Crane says. ACFAS recommends the following guidelines to help reduce foot pain during pregnancy.

Read full article here Enjoy Pregnancy without Foot Pain – FootHealthFacts.org

What To Pack For A Babymoon

 

  • Painful and swollen feet: wear wide comfortable shoes and don’t cross legs when sitting
  • Arch Pain: stretch daily in the morning and before and after any exercise, don’t go barefoot and wear supportive low-heeled shoes
  • Ingrown Toenails: wear wider shoes during the last trimester of pregnancy to avoid ingrown toenails.

It is also not uncommon for women to experience a change in their foot size during pregnancy. “A  permanent growth in a women’s foot, up to half a size, can occur from the release of the relaxin hormone, that allows the pelvis to open to deliver the baby. It makes the ligaments in your feet more flexible, causing feet to spread wider and longer,” Dr Crane adds.

Pedicure Spa Treatments are often offered at almost all hotels on our BabyMoon Website. And some have it included in their babymoon offers.What better way to start your babymoon than with a foot massage…….

4. Sunscreen

According to FitPregnancy.com there are six sunscreen rules to follow when you’re pregnant. Read full article here Six Sunscreen Rules To Follow When You’re Pregnant

Know that your body’s pigment-producing cells (called melanocytes) kick into overdrive during pregnancy, making your skin more susceptible to UV-induced discolouration.

  • Know your Numbers – at least SPF30, reapply every 2 hours
  • Use a Broad Spectrum Sunscreen, protection against UVA & UVB rays
  • Rub, don’t Spray
  • Kick This Chemical: Oxybenzone
  • Use Oil-Free Sunscreen

What To Pack For A Babymoon - Pregnancy Books

5. Pregnancy Magazines & Books

Ideal for on the plane, train or in your hotel room. Some hotels even offer pregnancy magazines in the hotel room on arrival. And now that you’re away and have all the time in the world, a book with Baby Names is also a handy start to dream about the name of your baby boy or girl. Or take time to read the fun book “Margarita Mama: Mocktails for Moms-to-Be”  with delicious “mocktails” designed specifically for moms-to-be. Or “My Pregnancy 2015” the only annually updated pregnancy guide by Dr Jo Girling, the must-have for all new moms.
