Since the beginning of my pregnancy I started to feel some strain on my back when I sleep on my side. It’s like my stomach is pulling my back so I had to put a plushie behind my back to lean on. It became annoying after awhile because I have to move the pillow when I swap side.  So I started looking for a pregnancy pillow.

The ones in the market look really bulky. With me getting bulkier by the day, my poor husband will have no space to sleep on. I searched pregnancy forums for recommendation and came across Bellybean. It’s very pricey and the only place you can get it from is this website. I really like the look of the pillow and it seems to have glowing reviews. So I decided to go for it for the sole reason that it has the same support on both sides (tummy and back) which eliminate the need of swapping the pillow around when I sleep.

When I first received it, I loved the colour and the feel of it. It feels soft and cuddly. Like a good quality plushie. When I first tried it on, I wished the cushions were a little bigger because I was used to my fat plushie to lean on and they’re not so further apart (I had to fold the middle part so they’re closer together). But as my tummy grow bigger, I started to appreciate the size and the distance between the two cushion. I guess at the beginning I didn’t have much tummy to ‘fill’ the gap between the cushions but now, it’s perfect.

I cannot live without it now. It’s so simple yet so effective. Even my husband loves it! He even suggested getting another one to support other parts of my body which are also getting bigger : P And once  I caught him hugging it to sleep  ; )

I also love the portability of it. I can easily take it with me when I decide to lie down somewhere else (like the recliner or the couch)

I recommend going to the website to read more about it. It does everything it claims to do.

Postage takes several days for within Australia because it comes from a regional area in WA.

It will make an excellent gift for someone who’s pregnant or something to spoil yourself with if you’re pregnant.

I should never be left alone at home. In the past I’ve successfully restrained myself from buying clothes from YesStyle or any site for that matter. I don’t usually like to take risk that comes with buying clothes online (sizing issue, deceiving pictures, etc). But being pregnant and frustrated with my wardrobe and disappointed with local shops that sell maternity clothes (they’re either expensive or boring), I decided to buy some clothes from YesStyle.

The maternity collection is rather expensive and generally too small for me so I opted for the plus size collection. I tried to choose something that looks lose around the tummy. There were quite a bit that I liked but I couldn’t justify spending so much money on clothes I’m unsure will fit well.

I first had 5 or 6 tops in my cart but after so much deliberation, I reduced it to 3 (and kept the rest in my wishlist for future use : P)! But I still spent a little over $100 >_<

Let’s hope they’re worth it!

They’re so cute, so hard to resist! And the price isn’t that expensive  compared to normal maternity clothes locally although I’m not sure about the quality. I guess we’ll find out soon.
