Like most Australians, I love my favourite pair of denim jeans and didn't want to have to go without a fabulous pair of maternity jeans throughout my pregnancy and during the post pregnancy months. With so many styles of maternity jeans available from online maternity clothing stores and boutiques throughout Australia you won't have to compromise your maternity fashion style during your pregnancy. Whether you like bootcut, straight leg or slim leg maternity jeans, choosing a fabulous pair of stylish maternity jeans or two will extend your maternity clothing wardrobe so you can mix and match them with your favourite maternity tops and tunics.

Maternity jeans come in various styles - some maternity jeans are designed to be worn over your growing belly, others are designed to be worn under your belly, whilst other  maternity jeans have a belly band attatched and can be worn either way depending on your mood. Our pic when it comes to maternity jeans are those with a belly band attatched. During the first two trimesters of my pregnancy I preferred to wear my maternity jeans with the belly band over my bump whilst in the last trimester when my bump felt huge I found it really comfortable to roll the belly band down under my bump. I also wore my maternity jeans this way for approximately 5 months after the birth of my baby.

Motherland stocks slim leg, straight leg and bootleg maternity jeans at very affordable prices. Our signature maternity jeans, pictured above are available to purchase online now . They are made from a great quality denim fabric and are so flattering for all shapes and sizes. MotherLand maternity is dedicated to providing affordable maternity clothes and affordable breastfeeding clothes to pregnant girls and new mums throughout the world. We hope we can make it more affordable for you to enjoy a stylish pregnancy. xxx

Although you may be experiencing some typical pregnancy symtoms such as morning sickness during your pregnancy, there are some things that you can do to help yourself look and feel your best throughout your pregnancy. Drinking plenty of water, engaging in regular light exercise, eating a healthy diet, getting plenty of rest and pampering yourself from time to time will help. 

I loved taking walks along the beach and yoga classes throughout my pregnancy. They helped relax me and allowed me to reap the benefits of exercise. Light exercise throughout your pregnancy will also help you regain your pre pregnancy body after the birth of your baby more easily. When exercising during your pregnancy be sure to choose maternity clothes made from soft, stretchy fabrics that will move with your body and regain their shape afterwards. Maternity leggings made from cotton jersey or bamboo jersey fabrics are a great choice. You can pair them with maternity tanks suitable for exercise. A comfortable maternity hoodie is a great choice for warming up and down. Some maternity leggings have a soft elastic waist and are designed to be worn over your growing bump, whilst other maternity leggings are low cut and designed to be worn under your belly. You can then pair your maternity leggins with long maternity tops to stretch your maternity clothing budget further. Choosing maternity clothes that you can mix and match will extend your maternity fashion wardrobe further and save you money.

Morning sickness can happen to any pregnant woman. Some of the old wives’ tales tend to hint that morning sickness happens more if you’re pregnant with a girl but that isn’t always the case.

Unless you work in a fantastic and understanding environment, telling your boss that you are expecting is never easy. Rumours and notions may start flying around that you won’t be coming back after you have the baby, the question of whom will cover for you while you’re on maternity leave, and will you come back as committed to your job as you were before the baby are all concerns that sometimes run through your boss’ heads.

Here are three ways that can help you get the timing and delivery of the big news right for you.

 

I was flicking through some magazines on the weekend and came across some photos of some celebrity mums looking fantastic in bikin's just a few months after giving birth. I sat there wondering how they did it - hours a day in the gym (a bit diffcult with a newborn baby), great genes or some fancy photoshopping. Maybe I was just feeling a bit envious ..... either way, it takes most of us a while to regain our pre-pregnancy bodies after giving birth. It took me about 5 months after my first baby, about 10 months after my second baby and I am still working on it 2 years after the birth of my third baby. Although I am back to my pre-pregnancy clothing size I do have to choose clothing styles that hide my muffin top.

For this reason, the MotherLand maternity clothing range has been designed with the post pregnancy body in mind. Our maternity clothing range is designed to cater to the changing shape of your body during pregnancy and also look great after your baby is born. Our maternity wrap dresses, evening maternity dresses and maternity sleepwear all look great post pregnancy too. Our maternity pants are available in a few different designs. Some have adjustable waistbands, others have belly bands attatched that can be worn over your bump or folded down and worn underneath, whilst others have a wide elasticwaistband that sits comfortably under your belly - all of which are suitable to be worn post pregnancy. 

 

 

Being pregnant and caring for a newborn baby can be completely exhausting for any pregnant women or mother of a small baby, especially when you also have older children to care for. I think pregnant women throughout the world would agree that a comfortable nights sleep can make all the difference. This is especially important during the later stages of your pregnancy and in the first few months of your newborns life, when changes to a pregnant womens body can take its’ toll physically. Any new mum who is feeding a newborn baby every 3-4 hours would also agree that feeling comfortable whilst sleeping and breastfeeding is a high priority. I recall the feeling of complete exhilaration when I finally had six hours of uninterrupted sleep when each of my children starting sleeping longer between breastfeeds.

There is such an extensive range of maternity clothing available now and investing in some comfortable maternity sleepwear is well worth the money. Whether you prefer maternity pyjamas or a comfortable maternity nightie there is an array of styles to choose from. If you want to get the best value for your maternity sleepwear purchase the girls at motherLand recommend that you choose a pair that is also designed for breastfeeding. This will ensure that you are able to breastfeed comfortable which makes the world of difference when you are feeding late at night, early in the morning or if unexpected guest drop by. We also recommend that you choose maternity sleepwear made from great quality, stretchy fabrics that will cater perfectly to the changing shape of your body throughout your pregnancy as your belly expands and then after your baby is born. Maternity pyjamas pants vary in style – some are designed to be worn over your baby bump, some are designed to be worn under your belly whilst others are designed to worn either over your bump or folded down and worn underneath. MotherLand has recently introduced a luxurious bamboo maternity nightie (picture above) which is also designed for breastfeeding. It is made from a super soft, luxuriously comfortable fabric and would also make the perfect gift for your favourite pregnant girl to pack in her hospital bag.
