Yes, if saw you my instagram post a few weeks ago, it’s official – we are due with Baby #2! We’re very excited to welcome a new little bundle of joy this November, and I cannot wait to see Aidan as a big brother. As of now, I am just entering my second trimester, and this pregnancy feels very similar to my pregnancy with Aidan…but at the same time sooo different!
I’ll chat more about my pregnancy another time, but for now I want to talk about maternity clothes. One thing that I struggled with in my pregnancy with Aidan, as well as right after having him, was dressing my constantly changing body. I was not prepared for all of the challenges that I would face; I struggled finding maternity and nursing clothes that I liked, were comfortable, and made me FEEL good (with the option of easy boob access, naturally). I lived in nursing camis with odd-fitting button-ups or sweaters just thrown over them.
When you’re pregnant, or you’ve just had a baby, the last thing you want to do is worry about what you’re wearing, and in the end not having comfortable, proper fitting clothing did nothing for my self esteem. I wish when I was pregnant with Aidan, that a brand like The Mum Collective had been around. They create luxury maternity and nursing essentials that will see you through your entire pregnancy, fourth trimester and beyond.
The Mum Collective was created by lovely new mama, Sophie; she had the same struggles that many of us mums-to-be and new mums had when looking for quality maternity clothing that fit throughout pregnancy AND after. It turns out that there has been quite a gap in the market when it comes to this, but thanks to The Mum Collective, it has definitely been filled I’d say!
Made from the softest, sustainable materials, The Mum Collective includes three gorgeous essential pieces:
The Amelia Tee
The Luca Hoodie Dress
The Olivia Sweater
All pieces are incredibly chic looking, and super comfortable, with easy to use zips for nursing as well. You can choose from two colors for each item – Oat Latte and Ash (which is a harder choice than you think it is, because both colors are lovely!). These three items alone will definitely see you throughout your pregnancy journey and after!
Sophie very kindly sent me the Amelia Tee and the Luca Hoodie Dress, and I am honestly in love with them. I’ve been living in the Amelia Tee all the time lately, especially since the weather has been getting nicer. The fit is absolutely spot on with both pieces – super flattering, but will continue to fit my (very quickly!) growing bump as the months go on. I’ll be having yet another winter baby, so I know the Luca Hoodie Dress will be perfect! I will definitely be wearing both pieces post-baby as well; the zips will make breastfeeding so much easier this time around.
If you’re a mum-to-be, new mum, or know one, this maternity line is a must. They are high quality, comfortable and sustainable pieces that look and feel good. Even more exciting, is that they have announced that a new loungewear collection is available for pre-order as well. It is so nice to find a brand that just gets what new mums want – to shop these absolutely gorgeous pieces, click here!
