Carriwell Organic Maternity Flexi Belt

Makes any pair of jeans into maternity pants in the early months.

Magic Wrap
An ideal maternity and nursing top built for ever-changing tummies and breasts. Wear it untied over a dress, wrap and tie in back to fashion an adjustable shirt, or tie in front to wear as a wrap.
After you’re done with nursing, the adjustable tie means the top still fits! So invest, and wear it into the ground.
(Price converted from British pounds.)

Maternity Cowl-Neck Dress
During my pregnancies, a stylish maternity dress for under $30 was as far fetched an idea as comfortable maternity pantyhose. I was pregnant in the wrong decade.

Organic Calming Chamomile Herbal Tea
ON SALE Though I’m a tea fanatic, I’ve never much enjoyed herbal teas. This chamomile tea has made me a convert. When you open the tin, you’ll find a jumble of sweet-smelling, whole chamomile flowers that look lovely in your cup. It has a touch of lavender and jasmine that make it a bit spicier and more honeyed than an average chamomile tea, but the effects are just as soothing. The site suggests reusing brewed blossoms in your bath, which sounds just fine.

Republic of Tea’s Ginseng Peppermint
I don’t usually like herbal teas, they tend to taste like a bunch of sticks floating in warm water. Glah. This ginseng peppermint tea, however, is tasty. It contains eleuthero (no idea), peppermint, cinnamon, licorice, and echinacea root. It’s minty, of course, and the licorice flavor isn’t discernable, but it leaves a sweet aftertaste in your mouth. If, like me, you’re bouncing off the walls from your five or six “nice cups of tea” a day, give this a try. It will mellow you right out.
