    Black Tie Maternity: Not as Scary as it Sounds!

    Posted August 11, 2008 by la stylist mom
    Found in: Maternity, Fashion

    Not only have I experienced this conundrum firsthand, my readers often write in asking what they can wear to a wedding or other black tie function while 8 months pregnant (or in the notorious “4th Tri-mester”).  I recently discovered Isabella Oliver Maternity Wear, and while she doesn’t come cheap, her things are quite beautiful.  Described as being “For Women Who Love Clothes,” I couldn’t agree more. In addition to numerous chic looks, this comprehensive site provides styling tips for each piece, trend reports and my personal fave, the invaluable “Maternity No No’s” list. In the mean time, if you want to splurge a bit to look gorgeous at that black tie affair…

                                                            

    …then this is the dress for you.  You’re actually getting several different dresses for the price of one. The Wrap Column Dress is versatile and can be wrapped and tied in a number of ways creating a different look every time. There’s even a how-to “wrap” video right on the site! No matter how you tie it, Isabella Oliver is proving that pregnancy and glamour don’t have to be mutually exclusive.

    Kush: Some Relief for Your Aching Pregnant Body

    Posted June 26, 2008 by evette
    Found in: Maternity, Health

    This would be great for a baby shower gift for the new mommy-to-be!  Many discomforts come along with being pregnant:  aching back, nausea, bloating, heartburn, swollen feet…swollen BODY!  A women needs all the relief from theses “side effects” she can get, while she patiently waits nine months for her precious new bundle of joy to arrive. 

    KushThe “Kush” is a “Natural Rest for the Breasts” because it fits perfectly between so you can rest comfortably on your side.  It will also help relieve breast discomfort while you nurse your baby.

    If you aren’t pregnant the Kush might be great for breast pain during your menstrual cycle, or for proper spine alignment if you have back problems.

    The Kush company knows that all breasts are not created equal, so there are instructions on how you should order your Kush.  For example, if you have breast implants you should order a B Cup Kush regardless of your actually bra cup size.

    Caffeine May Increase Chances of a Miscarriage

                                  Coffee

    This study I read about on ACNews.com makes me wonder why Britney Spears didn’t have a miscarriage with both her pregnancies.  She was/is always seen at Starbucks!

    According to researchers at the Kaiser Permanente Research Division in Oakland, California: “The latest research to examine the risk of caffeine consumption during pregnancy reveals that women who said they drank more than two cups of coffee per day had nearly double the risk of miscarriage compared with women who consumed no caffeine.”
