New Year’s Resolutions: New Year, New Beginnings, New You!

Making New Year’s resolutions is a great way to start the year with a positive attitude & some new goals to strive for. But with a beautiful new baby on the way, this year’s resolutions are sure to look a little different from last year’s. You’re already headed for a dry January, and you certainly won’t want to be losing any weight!

Here are a few of our favourite resolutions for mamas-to-be…

 

Resolution 1: Take More Pictures

Get the Look: Black Maternity Shift Dress

This one’s a no-brainer. Pregnancy is such a special time in your life, and it’ll be over before you know it (even if it may not always feel that way)! Organising a pregnancy photo shoot is the perfect way to make some memories. Treat yourself to some beautiful new maternity clothes, get dressed up, do your hair & makeup, and capture your gorgeous new curves on camera. Of course once your little bundle of joy arrives , you won’t be needing any encouragement to get the camera out!

 

Resolution 2: Get Active

Staying active through pregnancy is a great way to help prepare your body for the physical demands of labour & caring for a newborn. Whether you decide to hit the gym, join a pregnancy yoga class or get out for a gentle jog, a little exercise is guaranteed to boost your mood and your energy levels. Check out our selection of stylish maternity sportswear & yoga gear.

 

Resolution 3: Eat Well

You’re eating for two now – and with a baby on board, it’s more important than ever to make sure you’re getting your 5 a day along with plenty of pregnancy-friendly vitamins, minerals & nutrients.

For more info, check out our post on healthy pregnancy eating habits

 

Resolution 4: Get Nesting

Babies come with plenty of stuff, so now is the time to harness those nesting instincts and have a good spring clean before he or she arrives. Take the opportunity to de-clutter, tidy and organise your home – you’ll have plenty on your plate once baby is born, so seize the moment & do it now while you have the time.

 

More Me-Time

Last but certainly not least, make sure that you take some time out for yourself to relax, recharge & indulge in things that make you happy.  Whether it’s a trip to the spa, a lazy weekend brunch or even just a  quiet afternoon to yourself, that brief moment will work wonders for your mood & your energy levels.

 

Whatever your resolutions, we wish you a healthy, happy New Year mamas!

Babymoon Ideas: Seraphine’s 5 Top Tips for a Relaxing Getaway

By now, everyone from your doctor to your mother will be telling you that the most important thing for you and your baby is to keep calm while expecting.

So as it turns out, a relaxing babymoon is practically prescribed!

Take a look at our top 5 babymoon ideas for a romantic trip for two before baby makes three…

 

1) When to Book Your Babymoon

Timing is everything! Be sure to slot in your babymoon some time through your second trimester. Morning sickness should be a distant memory, and you’ll have plenty of energy to travel.

Not to mention that this is the time when your pregnancy curves are at their cutest and will look adorable in a stylish maternity bikini!

 

 

2) The Dream Babymoon Destination

Shop Maternity Maxi Dresses

Choose your destination carefully. Pick a place you’ve always wanted to go, but maybe save the serious sight-seeing for another time – if there was ever an excuse to lie on the beach for a week, this is it!

Think carefully about your travel times as anything over 4 hours may be a struggle, and it’s also smart to steer clear of any potential for tropical diseases or deli belly. This could be the perfect opportunity to spend that beautiful week on the French Riviera.

 

 

3) Stay in Luxury

Shop Julia’s stunning Ivory Maternity Kaftan – perfect for the beach!

Indulge in a luxury hotel! This is your last big blow out before baby takes over for a while, so make sure to take full advantage.

A huge comfy bed, en-suite, 24-hour room service and a spa are all prerequisites. It’s also a great idea to call ahead & let them know you are babymoon-ing… you never know who might offer an upgrade!

 

 

4) Summer Maternity Clothes

Check out our stunning babymoon wardrobe selection for more beautiful babymoon ideas.

 

 

5) Romantic Getaway

Above all, your babymoon is the perfect opportunity for you and your partner to reconnect and strengthen your bond before this major life transition.

Now is the time to go out for a romantic meal, indulge in couples’ spa treatments and generally enjoy each other’s company. Because let’s face it, once your little addition arrives he or she is bound to steal the limelight for a while.

 

Postnatal Exercises to try with Baby | Pregnancy Yoga Video

So you’ve had your baby & are now raring to get back into your groove with some gentle postnatal exercises. It’s important to take your time with this – listen to your body and wait at least 6 weeks before you start in earnest. But once you feel ready, a little gentle exercise is a fantastic way to tone up, boost your mood and even bond with baby!

So slip into your post pregnancy leggings or Seraphine Active Kit & try these fun postnatal exercises at home with baby!

 

P.S. If you’re still expecting, scroll to the bottom to find a fabulous 25 minute pregnancy yoga video to follow at home…

 

Exercise with baby

This is just about the sweetest way we can think of to start toning your tum!

Lie flat on your back with your knees bent and feet placed firmly on the floor in a position ready to do sit ups. Sit baby half way up the slope of your thighs, holding him in place around his middle. Then simply do a set of regular sit ups, kissing baby at the top of each one! Aim for 3 sets of 12.

 

 

Front stroller squats

Who needs weights when you have a little bundle of joy to lift!

Strap baby into his front carrier, stand with your feet just over a shoulder width apart and complete a set of regular squats. Bend your knees to lower your body into an imaginary chair, keeping your weight over your heels. Aim for 3 sets of 12.

 

 

Buggy Lunges

Tone up and make baby laugh!

Put baby in the buggy facing you, then complete a set of regular lunges, stopping at the bottom to pull a funny face and make baby laugh, before slowly returning to your neutral position. This is great for toning your legs and baby will love this fun new game!

 

 

Exercise with baby

Teach baby his ABCs and tighten up your abs while you’re at it!

Lying flat on your back with baby next to you, place your arms at your sides and extend your legs straight up toward the ceiling, feet together.
Recite the alphabet slowly to baby, drawing each letter in the air with your toes. Keep the moves slow and controlled, and be sure to keep your belly button pulled in toward the floor. Aim to make it through the entire alphabet.

 

 

Exercise with baby

Lie baby down on your mat and position your hands either side of her for a set of regular press ups. This is perfect for toning up your arms, and baby will find it completely hilarious. If those delighted giggles don’t motivate you to finish the set, we don’t know what will!

 

 

Keeping Fit Through Pregnancy

If you still have a while to wait before you meet your little bundle of joy, why not try some gentle pregnancy yoga! Yoga is a fantastic way to stay active through your nine months – It’s perfect for relieving tension both physically and mentally, and can even help you to prepare for labour and speed up your recovery time. With regular practice, you’ll feel energised and more connected to both your body and your baby.

Nursing Bras & Maternity Bras: Busting the Myths Wide Open

We want to talk about bras… Specifically, maternity bras & nursing bras. Bra buying can be a challenge at the best of times; add to that the drastic fluctuations in size and the extra features you’ll need for pregnancy and nursing, and you’ve got quite an underclothing conundrum on your hands. This week on the blog we are ironing out the issues and busting the myths wide open. Mamas: Welcome to Seraphine’s Ultimate Guide to Maternity & Nursing Bras!

 

Maternity & Nursing Bras: The Basics

 

First off let’s get one thing straight: your bra is not just there to look pretty. It has a very important job to do – keeping you and your bust fully secure and supported. During pregnancy this job becomes even more vital; as the added weight of your growing bust can put pressure on the delicate ligaments at the top of your chest, causing them to stretch. So we think it’s fair to say that your maternity and nursing bras are a pretty important underwear purchase!

When fitting your bra, the recommendation is that:

80% of the weight of your breasts should be supported entirely by the under-bust, and only 20% should be carried by the straps.

Seraphine maternity and nursing bras are made with super supportive elastic instead of underwire. This helps you to keep your shape and makes for a healthier, more comfortable option.

 

Buying Maternity Bras

nursing bras basics

 

When to Buy a Maternity Bra

Generally, your cup size will grow over the first 20 or so weeks of pregnancy. Your rib cage will start to expand after that from 20 weeks onwards.

We suggest switching to a maternity bra at some point in your second trimester. Your cup size should be fairly stable by then, and all of our maternity bras are made with extra hook and eye settings at the back to allow a flexible fit to accommodate your expanding rib cage.

 

Fitting Your Maternity Bra

As a general rule of thumb: Take your usual pre-pregnancy bra size, and then go 1 cup size up and 1 back size up. So if you usually wear a 34C, you’ll want to try a 36D.

When trying on your maternity bra, make sure that you feel comfortably secure on the tightest setting, giving yourself plenty of room to adjust the fit as you grow.

 

Buying Nursing Bras

When to buy a Nursing Bra

When your milk comes in for breastfeeding you may find that you’re busting out of your bras again, so it’s a good idea to buy new nursing bras a couple of weeks before your due date. That way you’ll be prepared when baby arrives, and will have a good idea of the size you’ll need.

If you continue with breastfeeding, you may find that once you’ve established a feeding routine and your body is basically back to normal, you’ll need a smaller size. All of our maternity bras feature nursing capabilities, so at this point, you can switch back to using the maternity bras you bought in your second trimester!

 

Watch John Lewis’ tips for choosing your nursing bra

 

Fitting your Nursing Bra

Take your pregnancy bra size, and then go 1 cup size up and 1 back size down. So if you are wearing a 36D near the end of your pregnancy, you should opt for a 34DD for nursing.

When you try on your nursing bra towards the end of your pregnancy, it should feel comfortably secure on the loosest setting so that you can tighten it up over time as your body settles back to normal.

 

Looking After Your Maternity Lingerie

Remember: not all bras are machine washable!

To avoid disaster, always read the instructions on the label and if in doubt:

  • Hand wash with cold water
  • If you choose to machine wash, hook the bra together and use a wash bag, setting it to a delicate cycle.
  • Dry your bra in the shade to avoid sun damage and do not tumble dry

 

Nursing Clothes Shopping List

Nursing clothes must-haves

 

If you plan to breastfeed, it’s a good idea to have plenty of nursing clothes ready a couple of weeks before your due date. Nobody wants a situation where daddy gets sent out on an emergency clothes shopping trip – least of all him! So what will you actually need aside from nursing bras:

 

We know there’s a lot to take in here, but we hope you’ve found it helpful. For more info, make sure to check out our Maternity & Nursing Bra Advice online.

Pregnancy Announcement Planning: How to spill the beans!

Pregnancy announcements are big business these days. From telling your partner, parents, family & friends to capturing the perfect picture for your Insta feed… there’s a lot to think about!

Whether you’re planning an elaborate pregnancy announcement or keeping things simple, here are a few of our favourite tips for breaking the big news…

Pregnancy Announcement No.1: Telling your Partner

Get the look: Mother Maternity & Nursing T-Shirt

Assuming he isn’t in on the secret from the start, your partner is the obvious first port of call.

With Valentine’s Day coming up, now could be the perfect time for a romantic pregnancy announcement.

Why not slip the early scan or positive test result into his Valentine’s card, or take it one step further & write him a love letter from his baby on the way!

Or if he’s the pranking type, take the opportunity to get your own back & give him the surprise of his life!

Capture the moment!

If you can contrive a way to get him in front of a camera to capture his reaction – all the better! We love this clever mama’s photo booth ploy!

Pregnancy Announcement No.2: Telling your Family

Get the Look: Mama & Mini Tees / Mama & Mini Sweaters

Why not drop a not-so-subtle hint at your next family gathering?

Our mama & mini sets – either the tees or the sweaters are perfect for this. You could make a big entrance in the mama tee, or keep it under wraps until you’ve presented the mini one to the grandma-to-be.

Watch her face to see how quickly she catches on!

Easter is a great opportunity to get the family together & make your big announcement.

If there are older kids involved, why not organise a special easter egg hunt & let them put two & two together themselves!

And if this baby will be your parents’ first grandchild, make sure to make your announcement extra special.

We love this sneaky personalised scrabble game announcement.

Grandma-to-be’s reaction is just priceless!

Pregnancy Announcement No.3: Telling the World

And of course, if you choose to share your news on social media, you have the perfect opportunity to get creative!

You could keep it classic with a beautiful baby scan shot, like this seaside inspired one from Seraphine mama @leena_anna_m_

Or if you have older kids, you could incorporate them into the fun!

Not only does this make for a super cute image, but it helps big brothers & sisters-to-be to feel more involved in your pregnancy journey.

Or if this is your first baby, why not get your fur babies involved!

It makes for super-sweet pics!

And last but not least, this little baby-shark-inspired gem.

Apologies in advance putting that song in your head – we couldn’t resist!

However you share your news, be sure to enjoy your pregnancy announcement moment and treasure the reactions!
