Pregnancy: Keeping it “Cool”
Author: Jeannie Fleming-Gifford
Pregnancy brings the opportunity to check out a whole new array of products. It’s a great reason to shop, and your changing body is a wonderful reason to celebrate. Best yet, there are many cool products designed just for you.
No matter if you shop online (feet propped up and cushions all around) or want to head out to the local stores, you’re sure to easily find some of the items below.
Check out one or all.
Books:
The cool, essential books when you are pregnant:
The Girlfriend’s Guide to Pregnancy: Or Everything Your Doctor Won’t Tell You by Vicki Iovine. You want the scoop? The real scoop? This is where you get it. Check out this very cool book, a must buy (or rental from your local library).
What to Expect When You’re Expecting: 4th Edition by Heidi Murkoff and Shannon Mazel. This classic book is also a must-have for all the tidbits about pregnancy.
Clothes:
Looking for cool clothes? Although you want to look adorable and show off that bump, remember, in a few months, you won’t need these clothes for some time. If you are looking for cute clothes for the best prices, check out Target and Old Navy’s line of maternity clothes. Both will have you fashionably hip without breaking the bank. Shop online for best selections.
The BellaBand. Its tagline is “the most versatile maternity accessory you will ever need,” and they are not joking. From the time your bump appears to postpartum (and your bump is – hopefully disappearing), this little gem will keep you wearing the clothes you love, helping them fit wherever you are in the process. Even cooler, now Ingrid & Isabel - the makers of BellaBand, have launched BellaBand Organic, which means you can look good and be environmentally conscious.
Fun:
And, if you are looking for a cool experience, consider belly casting. A kit will include everything you need, from all natural belly rub lubricant to the casting material. Step by step instructions will take you (and a friend or two…this is definitely not an activity to tackle solo) through the process of preserving that baby belly via a cool cast that you will treasure for years to come.
From books to clothes to casts, you’re on your way to being one cool mama!
