A Work at Home Mom’s Blog

There were lots of things I didn’t like about being pregnant when I was expecting Pumpkin. My feet swelled terribly. I was pregnant during the summer with no air conditioning. And I broke out in this itchy rash that my doctor simply called a pregnancy rash, and I couldn’t take anything to alleviate it. And need I mention those awful maternity clothes?

I was pretty lucky because I didn’t have to buy any maternity clothes. There was a huge plastic tub of maternity clothes that was being passed around in my family at the time, and I got use of them. They were pretty decent looking for maternity clothes, but they were nothing like the stylish clothes that I was accustomed to wearing.

I wish I could have had some of the hip & cool b-buckles that are available now when I was pregnant. They’re these neat little things that you can put on your pre-pregnancy jeans that allow you to wear them for the whole nine months. It’s said that celebrity moms like Gwyneth Paltrow and Julia Roberts are big fans of them. They come in some really cool designs- I particularly love the Mom tattoo one.

Pregnancy is a beautiful and miraculous thing, but there are some things about it that are tough. With b-buckles, at least you won’t have to give up your sense of style any more when you’re expecting.
