Today’s blogiversary celebration includes some great items from Fertile Mind. Fertile Mind is a company based out of Australia. They have wonderful maternity & breastfeeding items including clothing and essentials like bras, undergarments, panty hose and belly belts. We carry one of their nursing tops and a product called the Belly Belt from the Fertile Mind line in our Boutique Store.
The Belly Belt is truly an innovation made at just the right time! It is a small extender that allows you to turn your regular pants into maternity pants. It is great for that time when you are just starting to show, but aren’t quite big enough to wear maternity pants – and it comes in handy again at the end of your pregnancy when you are starting to pop out of all of your maternity pants! It comes in handy once again after the baby comes and you are still working on getting back into your pre-pregnancy clothes. It is probably one of the most essential and versatile items that we sell! It is also great for moms on a budget, as it allows them to get more life out of the pants that they have now, without having to purchase new sizes.
When I was pregnant, I purchased pants that were one size larger before purchasing maternity pants. Since I am only 5 feet tall, this meant that every pair of pants I purchased had to be taken to the tailor to be shorted. So I had to shorten my regular pants, my “big” pants and my maternity pants! That was a lot of added expense on top of purchasing all of these clothes!! I wish the belly belt had been around back when I was pregnant with my son!
Well, Fertile Mind also makes some other great products that we don’t currently have in our boutique, so I will point you to Fertile Mind’s website to find out more about them:
1) Microfiber Maternity Tights: You might not think of it right now, but what are you going to wear underneath your dresses when you are pregnant? Yup, I didn’t think of it either! You need maternity tights – and the ones from Fertile Mind are fantastic!!
2) Super Bra: This is a wireless maternity bra that stretches to accommodate multiple bust sizes in one size bra. What does this mean for you? As your body undergoes lots of changes during your pregnancy, this bra will fit you through all of them! No need to shop for a new bra every time you change shape or size! In addition, it is comfortable enough to sleep in – so as you get towards the end of your pregnancy and your breasts start to get really heavy, this bra will be wonderful to give you added support during the day and while you sleep!
3) Perfect Fit Undies: Oh my my I love these undies! I am not pregnant and I wear mine all the time! They are so comfortable and have a great fit! You can buy these when you are pregnant and just keep wearing them – they are so comfortable and they super-cute too!
4) 6-way Dress: I love, love, love this dress! I have wanted to add it to my boutique for a long time. You can easily get 6 different looks from one great dress. It is fantastic and will get you through your pregnancy and all of your special events without having to purchase a new dress for each one.
And now for the big news! (drum roll please!!) The generous folks at Fertile Mind have offered to give away three belly belts, one pair of maternity tights, one super bra and one pair of perfect fit undies.

I love the maternity tights! with my first pregnancy I just rolled them high enough to sit under my belly but it was so uncomfortable! This time, I plan to take better care of myself!

I love that belly belt thing. I have 4 wardrobes, size 8 (normal), size 10 (early pregnancy and post pregnancy), maternity (obvious), and size 6 (post pregnancy, breastfeeding weightloss) – I don’t have enough closet space for all that so I have bins with it all sorted out in my basement. A belly belt would help me out a lot!

I am looking at the super bra – having gotten preggers and nursing for almost two years and just finding out I am preggers again – my boobs have gotten a work out and I am always searching for bras to help them out. – Thanks – Maria

I’d love either the Belly Belt or the Super Bra!

The belly belt and tights both look great! I guess if I had to choose, I’d choose the tights. I always have my tights right under my belly while pregnant, but it totally cuts off circulation and is hard to last through a whole day of church!
