While most mamas love to doll up and get glam for the ultimate newborn photo shoot, it’s shocking for them to realize that they will have to deal with constant feeds and diaper changes, and still keep looking neat, clean and sorted. Even while stepping out, feeding in public is a daunting proposition for many. With all this in mind, fashion may well be the last thing on any new mum’s list. More so, when simply taking a shower or enjoying a hot meal alone can seem like a herculean task! When breastfeeding is challenging, the postpartum period can be a very difficult time, flush with tears, hormones, and an endless desire to pull the trigger and call the whole journey off. Most women set out with high aspirations, picturing…

• ‘Maternity’ style, in my opinion, is a state of mind. I chose to buy clothes a size up in my favourite brands, and wear things that are super comfortable around my waistline, instead of shopping at the maternity section. • Dresses formed a staple part of my wardrobe, as I found pants or jeans too uncomfortable. Luckily, most of my pregnancy was spent in peak summer, so I could wear all the dresses I wanted! • I also developed a fondness for co-ord sets—they’re super stylish and versatile. • I opted for high waist leggings for workouts or for running errands. And paired with a loose shirt, it can make a chic athleisure outfit. • I loved showing my shoulder and wearing off-shoulder styles, because that’s an area that…

I n your mother’s era, expectancy and childbirth probably marked the end of fashion in their lives! Pregnancy in Indian culture has always been shrouded by a little bit of superstition and the ‘buri nazar’ has dampened many an expectant mum’s desire to dress up and get out there. Always covering up with dupattas and pallus, pregnancy women were traditionally not allowed to dress up or use mehendi or makeup. Even as the pregnancy glow begged to be harnessed! Worldwide too, pregnancy has, this far, been looked as a time when women are not attractive, far less, stylish, and expected to remain unseen. Thankfully, the winds of change started a few years ago. And now, with the likes of Rihanna, Shay Mitchell and Sonam Kapoor and Alia Bhatt closer home,…

For the most part, women spend their pregnancy in fear of what their body might look like after giving birth.

There are things you can do to help yourself from spiraling into a negative place. FOCUS ON EVERYTHING YOUR BODY HAS DONE AND IS DOING FOR YOU AND YOUR BABY Your body just grew a baby, and brought that little baby into the world. This means that your body did a lot of shifting, changing, and growing to accommodate that new life. In addition, your body is now tasked…
