Maternity leggings

With these stretchy pants you can work-out, laze around in the house or dress up and pair with an outfit to go shopping.

Insulated water bottle

Stay hydrated and enjoy your favourite beverages cold or hot with an insulated water bottle. You’ll also be able to meet your drinking quota of ten cups of water a day and stylishly so.

Belly band

You can still rock your favourite pair of jeans with a belly band which goes over your unbuttoned pants and accommodates your growing baby bump.

Fathers-to-be can feel left behind with all the fuss that surrounds moms during a pregnancy.

It doesn’t have to be that way because dads also have important role to play in the pregnancy journey and in the baby’s development.

Here are a few awesome and interesting ways that you can involve dad in this exciting journey to parenthood.

Announce the news together

Explore creative ways to announce that you are both having a baby! This can be through a picture or a party to reveal the exciting news. Keep dad involved in the planning and show him that you value his input.

Plan your baby’s nursery with him

Incorporate both your visions into planning the baby’s nursery. The baby’s room can be an infusion of ideas and décor that you both like and enjoy.

Work-out together

Ask your partner to exercise with you. This is a great way to bond and to get those feel good hormones circulating. Pregnant women benefit from exercise by having their moods boosted, improved sleep and built up endurance which is a plus for the labour experience.

Attend pre-natal appointments together

Don’t miss out on these sessions together because this is where you will both get to see how your baby is growing and developing. This is also good for emotional support as you both navigate the journey of parenthood together.

Let him choose the name

This will be a proud moment for dad as he gets to pick out a name for his baby. Give him the honours, it will make for a special memory and moments for years to come.

Ask him to baby proof the home

Let dad show off his handyman prowess by babyproofing your home ahead of the baby’s arrival.

Plan a photoshoot together

Capture the special moment of being pregnant by having a photoshoot together. Pick a theme and have a professional photographer chronicle your pregnancy journey for you. You will both enjoy bonding over the beautiful memory of the photoshoot and having pictures to last you a lifetime of the memory that was created.
