Mom4Life Product Review - Pregnancy Piercing

I received my Pregnancy Piercing Belly/Navel Ring in the mail today - and, of course I ordered it from www.Mom4Life.com!

I wish I had found this product during my first pregnancy. Even though I was still able to wear my regular barbell piercing through most of the pregnancy, there got a point where it just wasn't comfortable anymore. I searched every local store I could think of, but couldn't find what I needed. After awhile, I had to take my belly ring out, which was a pain to put back in later. Luckily, I found Mom4Life and they have belly rings that are made for the pregnant belly.

These specific piercings are made from a flexible, medical grade plastic that are perfect for a growing belly. They come in a very generous length to allow for the perfect fit (you cut it yourself). They come in a variety of styles (I chose the heart dangle). You can even order replacement beads (for extras or a to change colors of the bead)!

I am very happy with this product and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to keep their navel piercing throughout and after their pregnancy! Mom4Life also offers non-metallic piercings, so check out the variety at http://www.mom4life.com/catalog.php?item=5.

Mom4Life Product Review

I just received "The Body Silk Seamless Nursing Bra" by Bravado from
www.Mom4Life.com and wanted to give it a fab review.

This bra is truly comfortable; comfort being something that can be quite hard to find in undergarments during pregnancy or nursing.

I've previously tried several brands, at least two of which were underwire (not good for nursing). (This was before I found Mom4Life.) Most of the bras I've tried are not lined, either, which I think is so important. I decided to try this specific bra after asking Mom4Life owner, Heather her recommendations.

The Body Silk Seamless Nursing Bra is smooth, seamless, yet still supportive. From the great amount of stretch, I think it should still fit well into nursing. I sure hope so! I think I'm going to have to get another one!

Great Cloth Diaper Hunt

Thanks to my obsession with Mom4Life, I've found the Great Cloth Diaper Hunt!
What fun! I've found sooo many great websites, resources, and products I didn't even know existed! Plus, to know so many people are interested in cloth diapering, natural living, eco-friendliness is awesome, and reassuring =) Check out the contest - you'll find yourself scouring websites for little diaper icons into the wee hours of the night =)

Mother Load Giveaway

My favorite online baby boutique is having an absolutely fabulous giveaway!!!!
Can you tell I'm excited?! I don't know my odds of winning any of the prizes, but I would be absolutely thrilled to win any (especially the bebe au lait cover or the abdominal compression binder). Of course, whomever wins the "motherload" is one lucky mother!

Mom4Life

Ok - I just have to say how much I love the Mom4Life website!
First of all, I love the quote from the Bible at the top of every page:
"Children are a gift from the Lord. They are a reward from Him" Psalm 127:3
Whenever I read that verse, it reminds me how truly blessed I am to be a mother.

This website has such as awesome array of products (I have a ton listed on my baby registry to remind myself of all the things I want to get before this new baby is born).

For now, the only product from the website I can honestly write a review on, is
LilyPadz Silicone Nursing Pads

I used these while nursing my first daughter. I only used them on occasion, as it is not recommended to use them as a regular bra pad. You have to let those Majumbas breathe!
You can use these to go strapless or braless, or as a smoother appearance under a nicer shirt.
I think the best use for them is while swimming. I took swim lessons after the birth of my daughter, and these were invaluable for my modesty and confidence. I didn't have embarrassing leakage, nor did I feel exposed in any way. These adhere very well, but are not painful to remove, and are on my eco-friendly list because you can use them over and over again. Just remember, these are not a replacement for regular bra pads - use them for a limited amount of time so you don't end up with mastitis. For swimming or special occasions, I would definitely recommend this product! You can find this product on the Mom4Life website by clicking on the following link:
