Motherhood

Journey to Motherhood with Playdate

Sun, 2018-07-15

Here at Charmed On 9th Ave, we've always believed in making quality beautiful clothes for women in all stages of their lives. We're always inspired by the gorgeous women we've had the pleasure of meeting and befriending since starting this business. So we've chatted with some of you asked you to model for us which many of you have so kindly agreed on. We'll be featuring all these super women over the next few weeks, they are mums, mums-to-be, teachers, entrepreneurs and professions in their field.

This month, we've had the pleasure to speak to Julia, a financial planner in her third trimester.
She's expecting her first child, a girl, to the delight of her husband (who was confident they were gonna have a girl for their first child even before they got pregnant)
She took time off her busy schedule to do a little shoot for us and chatted with us for abit.

And must we say, she totally rocked our Playdate series!

Wearing: Playdate | A Beautiful Mess

1) What do you love about being pregnant?

Seeing the body change and feeling my little baby coming to life inside my belly. It’s pretty magical :)

2) What's most challenging about being pregnant?

Dealing with lower energy levels and fatigue.

3) How have you been feeling now that you are in your Third Trimester?

Getting tired more easily. Excited and apprehensive at the same time, awaiting the baby’s arrival!

4) Tell us how your husband reacted when you told him you were pregnant?

My husband really wanted kids of his own. He actually bought the test kit for me, made me take it and was waiting with me to see the results of the test. He was the most excited, like a Football player scoring the winning goal in the final match! Hahah

5) What kind of outfits do you look for during this amazing start of Motherhood? And Why?

I look for clothes that will have longer mileage - meaning I can wear it when I’m pregnant, convenient for nursing and also will look okay when I’m wearing it post partum. I am at work most of the time in the week, so I look for clothes that fulfils the above but still looks formal enough. Generally prefer dresses that are at least knee length, not too short!
