Pregnancy
can be harrowing.The
ass-expanding-faster-than-the-belly-freak-out. The
estrogen-fueled anxieties. Nine months of craziness
compounded by a dearth of alcohol or meds.
Other coping mechanisms are a must. So, our guide
to getting past the bumps in your labor of love.
Bump #1
Good news: You’re supposed to eat.
Bad news: Everything makes you want to hurl. To help
ease morning, afternoon, and night sickness, try
Preggie Pops. Or drown the pain with a cup of
Morning Wellness Tea.
Bump #2
The pre-showing complex. Slogan tees may be as tired
as you are, but
Trimester Tees are actually funny.
Bella Bands will discreetly cover your
unbuttoned pants. For something you’ll use beyond
pregnancy, try the
Sweetness Pouch, a trendy sash that turns into a
newborn sling.
Bump #3
There’s no stopping those stretch marks. Or, wait,
is there some hope in a bottle of
Clarins Tonic body treatment oil? Might as well
try it. Of course, there’s always
yoga.
Bump #4
The idea of shopping sucks. But these finds
make more tempting:
Chip & Pepper jeans, an
Isabella Oliver wrap cardigan, a DVF
wrap dress, and a
Cadeau smocked frock.
Flaunt those sexy curves in
Belabumbum lingerie, tame the
derriere, and keep those monster nipples
out of view.
Bump #5
Your belly feels like a petting zoo. Add a
little wow factor with temporary
tummy tattoos.
Bump #6
The big belly discomforts. A
belly bed will let you sleep on your tummy
again. Still having trouble? Work on your
belly cast late at night.
