I was rocking my 4 month old and scrolling Facebook when I saw the post that made me react in a way that I wasn’t proud of.  A Mom posting her sentiments of disappointment and sadness that her daughter wouldn’t get a 5th birthday party this year with friends.  Just a simple post. Just a Mom expressing her sadness for her child. Just a Mom sharing her disappointments about what wouldn’t be.  Have you ever done that? Have you ever found  yourself reading something completely innocent, but reacting in a way that rumbled up your soul a little bit?

What kind of belt is that? What lotion are you using? Where do you shop for maternity workout clothes? These are my MOST ASKED questions filling up my inbox these days, so I decided to make you a list of MY maternity must-have's this go around! Here they are! I hope you enjoy all or some of these items as much as I have the last 30 weeks!  And AS ALWAYS, be sure to discuss with your doctor's use of any products related to pregnancy to get THEIR green light. These were all approved by mine, but each woman and pregnancy is different.  1. Serola belt. I've been using this during my workouts and when I'm teaching dance since my first trimester as pelvic and sciatic pain started EARLY for me. I got this belt during my last pregnancy upon the recommendation of my midwife and it has been a LIFE SAVER specifically for pelvic pain.
