Pregnant Pippa Middleton’s Top Three Seraphine Maternity Dresses

Expecting her first baby later this year, mum-to-be Pippa Middleton has been styling her bump in some gorgeous Seraphine maternity dresses.

We think perhaps Pippa has been taking recommendations from her sister The Duchess of Cambridge, who relied on Seraphine for maternity fashion throughout all three of her pregnancies.

 

1. The Black Floral Maternity Dress

Get Pippa’s Dress: Black Woven Off the Shoulder Maternity Dress

Back in July at the height of the summer heatwave, Pippa stepped out in our chic little floral number to walk the dogs near her Chelsea home.

Pippa styled the dress (currently on sale for just £39!) with sunnies & espadrilles, adding a pop of colour with a red cross-body bag – we love this look!

 

2. The Printed Maternity Shirt Dress

Earlier in the summer, she looked effortlessly stylish in our woven shirt dress – a brilliantly transitional piece which could be yours for £65.

Pippa styled it with shades, bare legs & pumps in the sun, but it looks just as chic worn with tights & boots when the weather starts to turn.

 

3. The Little White Maternity Dress


Get Pippa’s Dress: White Cotton Embroidered Maternity Sundress

She was also spotted running some errands around London in our white cotton summer dress, which is available to buy for just £55. The cute little dress showed off her tan perfectly!

 

We love Pippa Middleton’s casual chic style and can’t wait to see more of her maternity outfits as we head into the cooler season.

Exercising While Pregnant: Is it Safe?

Yes, exercising through your pregnancy is safe, healthy & 100% encouraged.

If you led an active lifestyle before becoming pregnant, you should be fine to carry on with your regular workout routine.

 

Anna’s Second Trimester Workout

Whether that’s jogging, spinning, pregnancy yoga, aerobics, Pilates, weights, swimming or something else – just be careful and don’t push too hard.

Your aim at this stage should be to maintain your current level rather than trying to reach peak fitness.

Of course, it’s best to talk it through with your doctor before beginning any new pregnancy workout routine.
