So you’re in the first trimester and you already have a noticeable baby bump? Or maybe you’re well into the second trimester and you’re just not quite ready to tell people yet… Whatever the reason for wanting to keep your pregnancy under wraps, I hope this post, sharing 8 style tips to hide a baby bump can help you out!

With these tricks I managed to disguise my bump at work up until 22 weeks - almost 5 months pregnant! In the video and photos I’m 20 weeks and although it was definitely getting harder to hide towards the end, most of my work colleagues were super surprised when I announced, so these tips really do work! (Particularly if you’re showing a bit early and just want to keep things quiet until you’re out of the first trimester… most people don’t hide it for as long as I did!!)

These tips can also come in handy if you’re looking for flattering ways to dress when you're postpartum (because your belly will still be quite big for a while!), feeling bloated or if you're ever just feeling self conscious of your tummy!

I hope you enjoy and that it can help you out until you’re ready to announce the exciting news!

My Style Diary - Pink and Red with my little Valentine

February 22, 2020 Lauren Natalia

A quick Style Diary post sharing our Valentine’s day outfits from last week!

I thought this cute heart-printed skirt was perfect! Paired with a comfy pale pink t-shirt and sandals it was a fun look for my date with my little valentine (isn’t she such a cutie pie?)

Ruby also got dressed up in her fave outfit (okay, my fave outfit of hers haha) - this cute little Jack & Milly number with pink gingham print and cherries!

Mum Style - Pink and Navy for a Weekend Walk With Baby

November 24, 2019 Lauren Natalia

Hello Hello!

It has been weeks and weeks since my last post and I have been seriously missing blogging, but life with a newborn can get a little crazy (in a wonderfully chaotic and magical way!) so there hasn’t been a lot of time to sit and tap away at my laptop unfortunately!

Soaking up all the time with her as well as snatching short stretches of sleep whenever possible has been taking precedence the past few weeks, but tonight Ruby’s asleep a bit earlier and I’m feeling pretty good so I figured I may as well take just a little time to share these outfit photos.

Adjusting to life as a mumma has meant a lot of time spent at home, often in my trackies, so I’ve not been wearing the most interesting clothes, but every now and then it’s nice to dress up a little and feel a bit more like myself (wearing jeans now counts as “dressing up” for me lol).

The First Few Days In Hospital With Baby Ruby

Memories from the first few days in hospital with baby Ruby…

It was such a special time and I’m so happy I managed to capture some of those moments on video :)

Ruby’s Birth Story

October 12, 2019 Lauren Natalia

Just a heads up - this is a long post which is probably TMI for some people, so only read if this is something you’re really interested in :)

So it’s been two weeks (edit – actually 5 now when I’m posting this!) since little Ruby Allegra was born (where has that time gone?) and I really want to sit down and write out her birth story before all the details fade from my memory!

I never thought I’d want to share this before giving birth to my beautiful bubby but now that I’ve been through it I really do understand why people want to share their story! Everyone’s experience is so different and it’s such a special memory. I want to record all the little details that I know I’d forget if I didn’t write them down and I also had such a positive experience (despite some slightly dicey moments towards the very end just as she was being born) and I really wanted to share this and maybe help someone else who might be feeling nervous about the whole birth thing!!
