New Look Maternity: From Winter to Spring

26 March 2015

New Look Maternity Clothes for Winter and SpringNew Look Maternity Clothes - Mamalicious Khaki Contrast Sleeve Hooded Padded Coat

I’ve had the opportunity to pick a few of my favourite items from the New Look Maternity clothes range and these are the pieces I chose to take my growing bump from Winter to Spring. Before I got pregnant, I always imagined what I would look like once my bump started growing and if I would ever find flattering maternity clothes to suit my body type and shape. I can’t say shopping for maternity clothes has been a walk in the park, but I’ve managed to find a handful of pieces that fit me nicely, without breaking the bank.

For my first outfit I chose a stripy blue top with a pair of under-the-bump denim shorts, which I think will be perfect to wear on my upcoming Easter holiday – the weather is meant to be quite a bit warmer in the UK! The top is stretchy around the bump, so I’ve got plenty of room to grow these last 8 weeks of my pregnancy, and the shorts are quite comfortable with a soft elastic band at the front.

The second outfit features this super cute ‘Best Dressed Bump’ white t-shirt and these over-the-bump green check leggings – quite casual and comfy, which is exactly what I need right now! I’m obsessed with this top and I really need to get enough wear out of it whilst it fits – I can just about get it over and under the bump. The leggings are plenty big enough and will suit me fine until the end of my pregnancy.

For warmth, I chose this khaki green padded coat with a faux fur hood and contrasting black sleeves. The coat has a detachable panel at the front and fastening toggles on the inside, so it can easily accommodate a growing bump; you can also detach the fur trim and the hood if you wish. I’m quite petite (5 ft), so even the size small was a bit too big and long on me, so bear that in mind if you’re thinking of buying this coat.

I’m very pleased with the items I got from New Look Maternity and I can’t wait to wear them on my Easter holiday next weekend; hopefully the weather will be nice! If you’re looking for some affordable maternity basics – leggings, jeans, shorts, t-shirts, jumpers, nursing bras, dresses – definitely check out New Look.

What do you think of my New Look Maternity clothes choices? Where do you shop for maternity-wear?

I’ve stopped losing weight! 🙏🏻 It feels so I’ve stopped losing weight! 🙏🏻 It feels so good to step on the scales and not see those numbers going down anymore! I worried every single day for weeks, especially when my weight loss was so quick. So today, I put shorts on for the first time in a month (took it off right after the photo, as I feel so uncomfortable with anything around my hips or waist), pushed my belly out and registered that milestone. Hyperemesis is not in my past yet, but my new meds are at least helping me keep some food down. That’s a lot of progress from a week ago! ❤️

Not the pregnancy announcement I had in mind, but… we’re expecting baby number 3! ❤️🙏🏻 I’m 11 weeks pregnant today and this is probably the most fitting photo to describe my first trimester so far: hyperemesis gravidarum.

I was going to wait until I was feeling better, until I had a bump to show, until I could put some makeup on… but who knows when that will be? I’ve lost over 15lbs, been admitted to hospital twice on IV fluids for dehydration, spent my birthday (and weeks on end!) in bed and have been put on so many meds I’ve lost count.

Today, as I was leaving the hospital on new meds and after a bag of fluids - feeling like a human being for the first time in over a month - I decided that writing this post, although cathartic for me, may be just what another HG sufferer needs to read to make them feel a little bit less alone.

This is not the beautiful “surprise” pregnancy announcement we’re used to seeing, but for the 1-3% of women who suffer with HG, it may be the only one you can manage.

So, this is where I’ve been hiding. Baby is doing well, mama not so well. But I’m hanging in there and taking one day at a time!

Baby is due September 2021! ❤️

Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited childre Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited children and a puppy, ready some snow fun today! Might as well make the most of it, because this is probably all we’re going to get. Oh I do love snow! 😍❄️
“Anxiety is also feeling like you have no contro “Anxiety is also feeling like you have no control over your life and there’s a knot if your stomach. You feel like your world is crashing down around you and you’re expected to sit there and act like you’re fine.”

Yesterday was a right old day - I wasn’t myself. I needed silence to reset... but didn’t get it. So I carried on not sounding like myself, being curt, snappy, sometimes a bit hurtful.

Do you know when you just can’t snap out of it? You take a deep breath and promise you will react differently to a stressful situation, but a minute later you catch yourself spilling over before you even realise the pan was boiling.

I took some time to reflect in the evening and exposed everything that was causing me frustration, stress, anxiety and worry.  Guess what the common denominator was?

A feeling of not being in control.

I’ve always needed some sort of order and control to feel like myself and right now we’re positivity not in control of anything really, are we?

I’m glad I can recognise the triggers for my anxiety and today I made sure I established some form of control first thing in the morning to give my day the best chance to be a good one.

So I cleaned the house, I made sure the puppy had plenty of naps, I scheduled 1-2-1 time with both kids and that made me feel so much better.

I know I only tackled the consequences, not the causes of my anxiety and my need to feel in control, but that was enough for me today.

There’s - always - more work to be done, but accepting the small wins is part of it.

How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind right now? It’s so important to check in with ourselves instead of ignoring how we feel and burying our heads in housework, jobs, kids and life admin.

💫 What do I need?

That’s a good way to start. I’ll list a few things I need right now. They don’t all have to be grand things, sometimes I only need the smallest things.

1. I need to wash my hair.
2. I need silence.
3. I need to rearrange some rooms in the house (don’t know why I need this, but I really do).
4. I need to zero my inbox.
5. I need uninterrupted sleep.
6. I need a good hearty meal.
7. I need to exercise.
8. I need to smile.
9. I need to see my mum.
10. I need to put my needs first.

If I were to pick just one need right this second, I’d say number 2. I’m normally really sensitive to loud noises, but today... dear me! Even a slightly louder whisper was annoying me! 🙈
