Anna’s First Trimester Workout

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.

The theme of the first Royal Foundation Forum was ‘Making a Difference Together’, which perfectly sums up the mission of the organisation.

 

 

The Royal Foundation was set up by the two Princes back in 2009. It serves as the charitable vehicle through which the young royals support their various causes – from wildlife conservation to the armed forces, young people, mental health and more.

The Duchess of Cambridge joined them after her wedding in 2011, and Meghan will officially become a patron later this spring, after her marriage to Prince Harry.

 

 

This week, the Royals brought together all the organisations they work with through their foundation to set out their visions for the future.

The Duchess in particular, highlighted her on-going commitment to tackling mental health issues through every stage of life, starting in childhood.

 

 

 

This dress is a favourite of The Duchess. She also wore it back in January to launch the Heads Together initiative, Mentally Healthy Schools.

On Sunday, BBC Radio presenter & BAFTA Council member, Clemency Burton-Hill walked the red carpet at the BAFTAs, taking a stand for #timesup in a black Seraphine maternity dress.

Clemency’s dress comes from our Luxe Collection of evening dresses. The style featured a flattering A-line skirt in silk with a feminine lace bodice & a stunning jewelled belt to highlight her empire waist.

And of course, like many other women at this year’s awards, Clemency chose to wear black in support of #timesup, combatting sexual harassment and discrimination within the entertainment industry and the wider community.

We here at Seraphine are fully behind the movement & respect the courage shown by everyone who wore black this year.

 

 

As a member of the BAFTA Council, actress, musician & author Clemency is one of the industry insiders who vote to determine the outcome of the Awards.

She is also mum to a 3-year-old son, and currently 35 weeks pregnant with her next little one.

 

 

On top of all this, Clemency has recently released a book! The Year of Wonder is a beautiful compendium of classical music, from medieval to modern day – one piece for every day of the year.

The book was inspired by her experiences with miscarriage, and the music which helped her to cope and re-discover the little everyday joys in life.

The Year of Wonder is now available to buy on Amazon.
