Maternity Clothes You Still Wear

Maternity Fashion· Mom Issues· Pregnant Professional Style

Here’s a fun question: Is anyone else occasionally still wearing maternity clothes, many moons after your pregnancy ended?  I’ve graduated from my maternity jeans but I still find myself pulling out maternity t-shirts for sleeping or working out. After my recent ACL surgery I wound up wearing my maternity yoga pants because all my newer workout pants were … Read More about Maternity Clothes You Still Wear

Informed Consent Questions for Prenatal Emergencies

Pregnant | doctors· emergencies· hospitals· labor· Lamaze· ob/gyn· posts

When I was pregnant with my first, we took a Lamaze class — and I got a great list of “informed consent” questions. The idea is that, particularly with labor and delivery, a lot of things happen quickly, and frequently you’re only half giving informed consent because you’re so exhausted, in pain, and more. I didn’t end … Read More about Informed Consent Questions for Prenatal Emergencies

A friend somehow stumbled on Jack’s birth story a week or so ago and remarked how births are surprisingly traumatic for a lot of mothers, and how we should discuss it here — particularly how to deal when your labor experience leaves you angry. I agree — as I noted in that (extraordinarily long) post, Jack and … Read More about When Your Labor Experience Leaves You Angry (and Other Birth Trauma Stories)

Dealing with SPD Pain During Pregnancy

Pregnant | pelvic girdle pain· pregnancy pain· spd pain

When I was pregnant with my first child, I began experiencing pelvic pain at 28 weeks that seemed to defy Googling, so I thought I’d write up a bit about the pelvic pain (sometimes called PGP pain or SPD pain or even PPGP pain) I experienced, in case it’s of help to other women pregnant … Read More about Dealing with SPD Pain During Pregnancy

Maternity Monday: Jersey Wrap Dress

Machine-Washable Work Clothes· Maternity· Maternity Fashion· Pump-friendly· Recent Recs

I never splurged on Rosie Pope dresses during my pregnancies, but this wrap dress looks like a great basic for work, and I like that “wash cold” laundering instruction. It even looks like it could be a great option for pumping and for the postpartum period (when you may or may not fit into your regular clothes). It’s … Read More about Maternity Monday: Jersey Wrap Dress
