Fourth Trimester Faves – Skin to Skin, Nursing, Babywearing & More

Nothing compares to those precious fourth trimester days with your new baby – getting to know each other, learning to pick up on their cues and falling head over heels in love!

Here are our top must-haves for that special post-pregnancy phase…

1. Skin to Skin Top

Skin to skin top - fourth trimester must-have

The benefits of bonding skin to skin with your new baby simply can’t be overstated. From the moment they arrive, a simple skin to skin snuggle has the power to soothe, regulate their temperature & even boost your milk supply!

3 in 1 babywearing coats - perfect from the first to the fourth trimester & beyond

Getting out & about with your new little one during the fourth trimester is so important, and babywearing is the perfect way to do it. A stroll around the park with your baby strapped on will help to boost your mood & ease you back into your active lifestyle.

Featuring an innovative zip-off pouch at the front, our 3 in 1 coats & hoodies are designed to provide a flexible fit through pregnancy, and then zip up over a baby carrier after baby is born.

Our Post Pregnancy Shaping Leggings provide the perfect level of 360° compression, optimised for the fourth trimester. And for when you want to feel a little more put together, our Post Pregnancy Shaping Jeans do the same job!

4. Nursing Clothes

Fourth trimester nursing clothes

If you plan to breastfeed, then a good collection of nursing clothes & nursing bras is a must.

Many of our maternity dresses & tops are made with discreet built-in nursing features, so you may find that you can keep wearing many of the pieces you bought for pregnancy!

5. Nursing Shawl

And last but not least, there’s nothing quite like being snuggled up with your little one in a knitted nursing shawl while you feed.

Our soft shawls are designed to keep you covered up in public & cosy at home.

Most importantly, enjoy this special time mama – the fourth trimester flies by & they grow so fast!

How to Find your Perfect Maternity Wedding Dress – 5 Top Tips

Planning a wedding while pregnant may seem like a daunting task, but finding the perfect maternity wedding dress doesn’t have to be!

Check out our top 5 tips for bridal shopping with a growing bump, then browse our collection of stunning maternity wedding dresses.

 

1. When to Shop for your Maternity Wedding Dress

Get the Look: Lace V Neck Maternity Bridal Gown

Ordering a custom-made bridal gown from a traditional boutique takes time – sometimes up to 9 months! In the case of a maternity dress, this is time that you most likely don’t have.

The good news is, at Seraphine, our dresses are expertly tailored to grow with your changing curves and are ready to go as soon as you need them.

So whether you choose to invest in advance or are looking at the last minute, a Seraphine dress guarantees a flexible, flattering fit through every stage of pregnancy.

 

2. Where to Find the Perfect Dress

Get the Look: Embellished Grecian Maternity Gown

You may be able to find something suitable at a traditional bridal shop, but to avoid any uncertainty, we recommend opting for a specialist maternity brand.

Here at Seraphine, we offer the full bridal appointment experience in some of our Flagship stores.

At our stores in Kensington & Leeds, we will open our boutique out of hours so that you can enjoy a one to one session with one of our expert maternity stylists. Call in advance to make your appointment & prepare to meet the dress of your dreams!

 

3. How to Hide the Bump

Get the Look: Ivory Silk & Eyelash Lace Maternity Dress with Ivory Cropped Peplum Maternity Jacket 

If you’re looking to downplay your pregnancy, a flattering A-line silhouette can work wonders.

Fitted at the top, this style flares out from the empire waist, highlighting your slimmest point while allowing plenty of room for your budding bump. Anything with lots of volume through the skirt or a lace overlay is guaranteed to help disguise your midriff.

And don’t forget to use accessories! A well-placed veil, jacket or a statement neckline will help to draw attention up towards your face & away from your bump.

 

4. How to Show Off the Bump

Get the Look: Ivory Lace & Silk Maternity Gown

If you’re out & proud with your pregnancy & looking for a wedding dress that will show it off & celebrate your growing bump, we’re here to help!

Why not try a sexy fitted style like one of our chic knee-length dresses in stretch lace. Or else draw attention to the bump with some embellished beaded detailing at the empire waist.

 

5. Don’t Forget the Wide Fit Wedding Shoes

Designed with a wider fit, padded insole & arch support, these beautiful wide fit wedding shoes offer incredible comfort without compromising on style.

Your feet will feel fantastic from those first steps down the aisle to the last dance of the night!

Blogger Lily Pebbles Shares her Top Maternity Fashion Picks & Tips

London-based blogger Lily Pebbles is expecting her first baby this spring, and she has been rocking some seriously stylish maternity looks so far.

Here are a few of her favourites…

 

The Parka

Lily Pebbles wears a Seraphine maternity parka

Shop Lily’s Coat: 3 in 1 Winter Maternity Parka

 

Lily dropped into our Kensington store during her second trimester & treated herself to our 3 in 1 Parka. It’s already a firm favourite of hers.

“This coat is a really good investment because it’s going to fit me this winter and then also next winter and even when I’m not pregnant.”

She discovered early on that its’ worth investing in properly tailored maternity clothes, rather than relying on oversized baggy styles.

“The investment isn’t just in the clothes, it’s an investment in your happiness and in feeling good throughout your pregnancy which is so important.”

 

The Jeans

Lily Pebbles wears Seraphine black maternity jeans

Shop Lily’s Jeans: Over Bump Black Skinny Maternity Jeans

 

The perfect pair of maternity jeans is a great place to start when building up your new maternity wardrobe. Lily tried several styles before settling on a favourite fit.

“Finding the right maternity jeans made all the difference to me.

At the beginning I wore jeans with just a stretchy side panel, I then moved to under the bump and now I’m a fully converted over the bump-er.”

 

The Knit

Lily Pebbles loves Seraphine maternity & nursing knitwear

Shop Lily’s Jumper: Star Maternity & Nursing Jumper

 

Lily has been a big fan of our maternity jumpers, especially the ones designed to adapt for breastfeeding after baby is born.

 

We love Lily’s style, and can’t wait to see how she develops her look through her third trimester.
