Brand New from HOTmilk

This Spring we see some gorgeous new editions from HOTmilk Lingerie. A maternity underwear brand that is forged from the desire to be wearing exquisite lingerie whilst pregnant and nursing. Expectant mother and founder Lisa Ebbing brought friend Ange Crosbie on board to develop a range of stunningly beautiful and sensual maternity and nursing lingerie. Both have had a beneficial experience of wearing their beautiful creations since having their children, and their understanding of what the modern pregnant woman wants has helped to develop exciting maternity bras in new shapes, styles and patterns for the brand that empowers women.

This season Eloise have selected three new designs from HOTmilk lingerie, all as luxurious as the next. The Blissful Disorder Bra is a scintillating full cup bra, with an array of Gardenia lace, cross over ruching and picot edging. With a blue base and an overlay of cream, it creates a subtle but beautiful colouring. Plus, this nursing bra has an A frame support to give you a beautiful shape and more support. This bra also has co-ordinating french knickers, with pretty lace frills at the side.

The Destruction Follows her Bra is a pretty cream and ballet pink 3/4 cup nursing bra. Overlaid with a subtle ruched mesh this feminine bra features a side sling support, power mesh wings and three piece lining all ensure a superior fit. Plus the one handed maternity clips are an ever present feature. Co-ordinating french knickers are also available, featuring the pretty print on the centre panel and a lace trim on the thighs.

For a more glamorous option, the Wild Composure Set is simply stunning. A satin full cup bra in a shade of Beaujolais is embellished with lace and bow details. It features the A frame design and satin lined power mesh for support and comfort. Like the other sets, matching briefs are also available in the same sumptuous satin.

All of these gorgeous bras are available at Eloise Mama, specialists in maternity and nursing lingerie and nightwear. Go on...indulge yourself, and browse the HOTmilk range.

A Little Piece of Cake

Cake lingerie is an Australian brand that was created when founder, Tracey Montford couldn't find any inspiring or well fitting lingerie to flatter her bump. So, this deliciously named Australian brand was formed, producing a range of delectable delights of maternity and nursing lingerie and nightwear for ladies with exquisite taste. Cake lingerie was born from the ethos, 'Made by mothers for mothers'. Our current range includes Blueberry Torte and French Vanilla from the 'Let them Eat Cake' range, as well as the brand new Velvet Delight set which has just arrived for Spring.

And for practicality it also features a clip fastening on the cups for ease when nursing. The co-ordinating briefs feature removable suspender attachments, and are hipster style briefs, with lace panels at the front to flatter your shape, and can even be worn after pregnancy.

Maternity Diary - Week 21

This week the baby has really been moving around, and I can feel that she's getting bigger and stronger by the day. I've started craving milk this week and have been drinking about 2 pints per day. I'm presuming me and the baby need the extra calcium.

It's been really nice looking at our new scan picture from the last week and sharing it with the family. Comparing it to the last picture, it's amazing to see how much she's grown.

My bump looks even bigger this week and it feels like everyone I see comments on the size! Luckily so far not a stretch mark in sight, although I know it's early days so I'm going to keep moisturizing and drinking lots of water to keep my skin healthy.

I've started to look into anti natal classes. I'd quite like to try aqua natal or swimming as I think it would be easier to exercise in the pool with the bump.

It's probably time to start thinking about names properly as now we know we are having a girl. There are so many books out there with thousands of names. It's such a hard choice but so far me and my husband like the same ones.

Maternity Diary - Week 20

This week we went for our anomaly scan and reached the half way point in my pregnancy. It was very exciting seeing the baby for the second time and seeing how much it had grown. We could see the face, hands and feet and saw that the baby was moving around a lot.

Fortunately everything is fine with the baby and we also found out that we are expecting a little girl! I am delighted as now I can start buying a few clothes and I know what colour I want to paint the nursery!

I'm still feeling quite well, although I am getting larger and I know I still have a long way to go. I'm starting to grow out of my first batch of maternity clothes so need to stock up on a few extra bits. My boobs keep growing and I've had to get a couple of new maternity bras and have started to sleep in a soft non-wired bra for extra support.

I'm going to get my nails done this week as it's always nice to feel pampered especially at the moment. I'm also going to try and start swimming as I'd like to keep as healthy and as active as possible.
