Call me crazy, but I think this would look amazing with cardigan or blazer over it for the office, or for the weekend with a fun pair of maternity ankle pants in a complementary color or pattern (a dark purple or dark green, perhaps, or a fun pattern). The top is part of Rachel Zoe’s new line at Destination Maternity, and is $88 (it also comes in a black and white print). Rachel Zoe Two-tone A-line Maternity Tank Top

I thought some of the smart folks here might be able to chime in on this. My best friend has an almost-4 year old daughter who is very strong willed (on the one hand, great!, but on the other hand, so exhausting). My friend has read plenty of parenting books on how to manage this and doesn’t want to break her spirit. But they’re dealing with two things that they’re just not sure how to handle:
1) constant negotiation with her. Whether it’s which parent is going to put her down for quiet time/bed, or how many pieces of chocolate she gets to eat, or whether she’s going to wear a jacket outside. It seems like if she doesn’t get a say that she launches immediately into shouting/tantrums. My friend is exhausted, and they may have done it to themselves, but are there any resources someone could point me to for them to potentially dig themselves out of this hole?
2) consistent bed wetting and not sleeping through the night, every night. The pediatrician said that she may just be a bed wetter and won’t stop until she’s like 6 or 7. In the past two months she has slept through the night twice. When she wakes up she is inconsolable – screaming until her parents come into her room and sit with her and pat her back until she goes back to bed. She’s going through a mommy phase too, so it usually has to be my friend rather than her husband, since her daughter will not calm down unless it’s mommy. Obviously my friend wants her daughter to feel safe, but she wants to sleep! Any resources for the bed wetting / breaking bad sleep habits?
What are your favorite maternity shops for casual and business casual? It’s been awhile since my last pregnancy, and I need replace a bunch of my maternity clothes.
Anyone have luck finding petite maternity clothes? Bonus points for free shipping/ returns.
I swear a long time ago my feet were dainty 7.5M.
Now that I’m in last month of carrying 2nd child, I just ordered Crocs in a 10W.
I give up.
Does anyone use a bag for pumping supplies other than the black nylon Medela one? I am carrying two of the black medela coolers + parts. I’m getting sick of the black bag!
Kat, I love how on the main site you include a plus-size alternative. Could you at least include some more clothes that run XS-XL here? Only one of your Maternity Monday picks in the last two months came in an XL (the Etsy seller who does custom sizes) and several didn’t even go past size 14.
I’m not sure what I’m looking for, but I just finished an IVF cycle and my beta is tomorrow. I took a home pregnancy test this morning, which was negative. I just feel so sad, but still have a little bit of hope until I get the official word (which is kind of the worst!). Is it actually really over by now? I’m assuming this cycle didn’t work, so any tips for getting over it and moving to the next round? I almost feel too exhausted to cry.
Can anyone comment on Loft’s maternity sizing (tops and pants)? They’re having 50% off today, and I’d like to try some of their basics. I know stores usually say order your pre-pregnancy size, but that has not always worked well for me.
