♡ How Not to Lose Yourself While Pregnant (and After) — a French Perspective (part 2) ♡

Bonjour, mamas! ♡

Somewhere between the first ultrasound and the third midnight feeding, many women quietly look in the mirror and wonder, where did I go? It's one of the most honest, least talked-about parts of becoming a mother. And it deserves a gentle, loving answer.

Here in France, we grow up with a particular idea: a woman does not stop being a woman when she becomes a mother. She is also a mother. The "also" matters. Caring for your baby and caring for yourself are not in competition — one actually makes you better at the other. 

So here are a few French-inspired ways to stay yourself through it all.

Bonjour, mamans! ♡

Let's clear something up right away: being pregnant does not mean disappearing into a sea of shapeless "maternity" clothes. In France, we don't really do maternity clothes the way they're imagined elsewhere. A French woman expecting a baby dresses like… a French woman. She simply chooses pieces that move with her new shape, and she carries herself with the same ease she always has. Of course, you need to adapt to your seasons, job and comfort.

That's the whole secret, really. Elegance isn't about hiding the bump  it's about dressing the woman.

Here's how we like to think about it at Roses and Dreams.
