Here is a great product for us new moms who need a little extra support. The Belly Bandit is a postpartum support band that comes in an array of colors and patterns. it is doctor recommended and can help posture, relieve back pain, reduce stretch marks and help you lose inches faster. I am looking into getting one so that I will feel better about the way I look (even though my husband says I look beautiful) and hopefully relieve some of the stomach and back pain that I have had lately.

Like I mentioned they come in some really cool fabrics and patterns. So there is a Belly Bandit for everyone. If you just had a baby I highly recommend checking them out. Hopefully I will get one soon.

Noppies Maternity Tights are a super comfy alternative and are only $6.00 (2 for $9.00) at tummystyle.com. The stomach is made to grow with you to last the whole pregnancy, and they fit like a glove.

Berkshire also makes a maternity nylon that is reasonable priced at $8.06. The stomach is lace so you feel pretty even though you are wearing tights that almost meet your bra. The leg has light support and the toe is reinforced for longer wear.

Finally, Belly Basics makes both sheer and opaque maternity tights. These are great tights with a waist band to make any pregnant woman feel comfortable.

I hope these are more affordable and just as good.

This post must be given props to my two friends who turned me on to Spanx maternity tights. These are the only tights that I have found that really stay up and give stomach support under the belly. My friend’s sister-in-law just wore a pair to a wedding and said that they were so comfortable. She wore them over 8 hours and they held up. So if you need a good pair of nylons and some fabulous support check them out at http://www.spanx.com. Also check out Spanx products for all you supportive needs after pregnancy. They have a whole line of absolutely fabulous items to create smooth lines and make you forget about the last five pounds you have to lose (at least while you are wearing them). Check out all the products at www.spanx.com or click on any of the pictures below to get to stores that sell them online.

(the last one is footless)

I hope they work for you as well.

This is not an easy task, I know. So to make all your lives a little easier I have scoured the web for both fall/winter coats and spring/summer coats that are flattering, funky or just great deals. So here they are.

I hope you find one that makes you feel Fabulous.

That is why for the next 7 posts I am going to present another fabulous idea or product.

Where better to start then the beginning of motherhood…pregnancy. My first find is for all my fabulous religious (and not) pregnant followers. I know that finding skirts can be hard enough, but when you’re pregnant it’s even harder to find ones that don’t make you feel like a house. So below are a few that I have found so you won’t have to look as hard.

I lived in jean skirts when I was pregnant. The best one I have ever found is made by “Seven for all Mankind”. If you wear jean pants this is a great brand as well. They are a little pricey but truly make a pregnant woman feel like a million bucks.

The newest thing I have found is called the “secret fit belly”. It provides seamless and comfortable coverage. The belly goes higher so that your shirt covers completely and there are no extra material
lines. I especially love the secret fit belly(tm) ag pencil skirt which happens to be on sale right now.

For a less pricey, but just a fashionable and flattering, jean skirt check out the american star skirt with secret fit belly(tm). This too has the high waste band and is extremely comfortable.

If you don’t like the high belly the all-around belly 5 pocket knee length denim skirt is another inexpensive option that is not high bellied.

Below I have attached a few other skirts that are either great deals or really cute. Be sure to check out Destination Maternity – (everything you need for pregnancy)because right now are all the big sales.
