10 Tips on How to Dress your Baby Bump

My baby bump is growing and my jeans don’t fit anymore… I find myself standing in front of my closet, staring at my clothes for minutes thinking what can I wear that will be comfortable.

I never bought maternity clothing for my first pregnancy and I never bothered about looking good. My entire pregnancy, I felt like a penguin. I hated looking in the mirror because all I would see was a “fat” person.

This time, I promised myself not to feel that way again! I want to embrace my body and look stylish throughout my pregnancy.

My friend Nastassja from Mrs Rogero has been one of my biggest fashion inspirations and because of her, I’m learning to dress better.

10 Tips on how to dress your baby bump

1. Buy a black pair of leggings

Leggings go with almost anything and is still a fashion trend. It’s comfortable and can be styled with heels or flats.

2. Accessorize

Accessories can change the look of an outfit and it’s something you can always use even after pregnancy.

3. Don’t be afraid to style your clothing with belts

I love wearing belts with dresses and I think it looks adorable on pregnant woman.

4. You can still use heels

I was scared during my first pregnancy but this time I’m rocking those heels! I prefer using wedges than pencil heels. If you used to wearing heels, don’t stop now.

5. Avoid overly baggy pants

I know, I think they comfortable too but the truth is it can give the illusion that you are larger than you really are. This was one of my mistakes during my first pregnancy.

6. Invest in a good pair of maternity jeans

This might be the most expensive clothing item you buy during pregnancy but it will be worth it. I love jeans and I miss my skinny ones so I’m currently searching for a good pair that I can wear throughout my pregnancy.

7. Maxi dresses and skirts

Comfortable yet stylish too! I think every pregnant woman needs at least one.

8. Dress stylish but comfortable

Don’t try to change your style too much. Stay true to who you are but experiment when you can especially for those pregnancy pictures.

9. Wear Make-up/Style your hair

I’m currently breaking out because of my pregnancy but by doing my make-up, I have the confidence to still leave the house feeling/looking good.

10. Raid your closet

There’s definitely something there that you still use like an open-front cardigan, jacket, or a blazer.

Pregnancy is a wonderful time for all moms and it’s important to feel good in what you are wearing, relaxed with no hassles or fuss. Fashionable maternity clothes are good for physical and mental wellbeing, showing the world that you are proud of your accomplishment.

  17. Im currently 28 weeks pregnant with our first, so far have gotten away with just wearing what is in my cupboard, but starting to feel a bit uncomfortable, and the pile of clothes that once fitted is getting smaller and smaller… Really need to invest in some new clothes! Love your tips on dressing your bump!

  39. Im a mom of a 3year old,9 month old baby and Im 21weeks pregnant again. After 6 miscarriages I doubt there is ANYTHING that makes me happier than holding my little ones in my arms,Lets be honest,NOTHING can prepare you for motherhood, Being a mother is TOUGH,its HARD WORK,TIRING,EXHAUSTING AND A SELFLESS ACT,Am I worthy enough to do this?Am i doing it right? Most times you dont get please and thank you’s and off course there is no salary at the end of the month for all your hard work, 😉 😉 😉 Without my kids my house would be clean,my wallet would be full,but my heart would be empty,but there is so much more REWARD, Nothing gives me more pleasure than hearing the little pitter patter of my baby’s heartbeat inside me,the smile of my 9 month old can light up a room and make me feel like a supermom and the big squeezes and “I love you”s from my 3 year old melts my heart and makes me LOVE being a mom.Thank You,Baby,and I for helping me through this journey of Motherhood. Thanks for helping support my kids amazing growth and development

  43. 27 weeks preggo. .. second time round. Even hubbies clothes don’t fit any more. With a toddler money for clothes is tight, so winning a lil shopping spree would be out of this world 🙂

  71. Copper wire recycling Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have shown great potential in catalysis due to their high surface area, tunable pore size, and diverse chemical functionality. In this study, we present the preparation of a novel MOF, (Cu-N-COF), consisting of atomically dispersed copper sites coordinated to nitrogen and carbon atoms in a two-dimensional imine linked framework. These highly dispersed copper sites facilitated the efficient reduction of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) to nitrogen monoxide (NO) in the presence of hydrogen (H2) at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed the successful incorporation of copper into the framework. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicated that the Cu-N-COF framework was composed of interconnected two-dimensional sheets with well-defined pores, and the copper sites were homogeneously dispersed throughout the framework. Catalytic tests were performed under different reaction conditions to investigate the effect of temperature, pressure, and reaction time on the catalytic activity. Remarkably, Cu-N-COF showed high catalytic activity and selectivity toward the reduction of NO2 to NO, with a conversion rate of 100% and a selectivity of 95% under optimal conditions. The turnover frequency (TOF) of Cu-N-COF was nearly eight times higher than that of Cu dispersed on activated carbon and 2.3 times higher than that of CuO nanoparticles supported on aluminum oxide. The outstanding catalytic performance of Cu-N-COF could be attributed to the high dispersion of copper sites and the synergistic interaction between nitrogen, carbon, and copper atoms in the framework. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggested that the active intermediates were coordinated to the copper sites and could be easily reduced by H2 assimilated on the nitrogen atoms in the framework. In conclusion, we have successfully synthesized a novel MOF with highly dispersed copper sites for efficient reduction of NO2 to NO. This work provides a new strategy for designing highly efficient and selective catalysts based on atomically dispersed metal sites in MOFs Scrap metal residue recycling Copper tubing recycling Scrap Copper industry Copper scrap environmental regulations Scrap copper inspection Scrap metal recycling industry

  72. Copper scrap testing Copper has been used for thousands of years by ancient civilizations. It is believed that copper was discovered around the same time as gold and silver in the Middle East, around 6000 BC. Copper was a valuable material due to its versatility and suitability for tools and weapons. Between 5000-3000 BC, the people of the Balkan Peninsula began to use copper to make ornaments and jewelry. The ancient Egyptians are also known for their use of copper. They used copper to make tools, weapons, and even pipes for their plumbing systems. In ancient Mesopotamia, copper was used to make weapons and tools as well. The Sumerians developed a way to extract copper from its ore using charcoal and raised the standard of metallurgy. The Babylonians were also skilled at working with copper and used it for mirrors, jewelry, and weapons. The Minoans, who lived on the island of Crete around 3000-1000 BC, are also known for their use of copper. They used it to make tools, weapons, and decorative objects. The use of copper was an important factor in the development of their civilization, as copper was used to create trade networks and facilitated the rise of the Minoan culture. The ancient Greeks also made extensive use of copper. They were skilled at crafting copper vessels and used copper to make armor and weapons. Copper mines were established in the Aegean islands around 3500 BC, and this provided a valuable resource for the Greeks. In South America, the Incas were also known for their extensive use of copper. They used it for weapons, jewelry, and decorative objects. The Incas also developed techniques for smelting copper, and this played an important role in their economy. In conclusion, copper has been an important material for thousands of years and has played a significant role in the development of ancient civilizations. Its versatility and suitability for tools, weapons, and decorative objects made it a valuable commodity. Today, copper remains an important metal and is used in a wide range of industries Metal scrap yard services Recycling equipment for Copper scrap Renewable copper resources Efficient copper scrap utilization Copper scrap import regulations Metal scrap dealer
