Feeling Like A Star in Stella: A Babes with Babies Review

Pregnancy after loss is a funny old thing

You worry so much more than you did before

About everything

On top of all the usual hormonal and physical changes

You are also grieving for the babies you have lost

Every day is a physical and emotional battle

I do not get through many days without inconsolable tears

I do not get through any without worry, panic, fear and guilt

Tomorrow I will be 27 weeks and 3 days pregnant

The gestation that Esther and William were born

This pregnancy is really really hard

But I have to admit

That inspite of all the pain

Despite all the worry and the fear

The niggles and discomfort

I love being pregnant

I love looking pregnant

And I love dressing pregnant!

I have a few favourite items this pregnancy

And the best of them is

My Stella dress from Babes with Babies

This beautiful maternity and nursing dress

Is so easy to wear

Easy to wash and dry

Easy to dress up or down

So comfortable and so flattering

It is everything you want and need from a dress

When growing a baby inside

And the easy feeding access

Means that I can continue to feel like a star in Stella

Even when baby is born

Stella is a heavy dress

Which I love as it falls beautifully

Wash after wash after wash

It is a very flattering style

Falling to just above the knee

I have worn it so many times now

And have a few regular ways of wearing

I love to wear my Stella with a pink long sleeved top

Jeggings, boots and a chunky cardigan

For more formal or evening wear I like to put a Bibee Tshirt underneath

In either a contrasting or complementary colour

With opaque tights and Livie and Luca pumps

I also love wearing my Stella

With my purple starry wellies

Especially on special Baby Tilda days

The Stella is beautiful worn on it’s own

It has very flattering cap sleeves

And I love the gathering at the bust

And the way dress falls beautfully over my bump

I also love the draping on the side

It really is a beautiful dress

And I feel so confident when I wear it

One of my favourite combinations has been with this simple yellow cardigan

The Stella dress from Babes with Babies is a maternity staple

It can be worn for any occasion

And it is guaranteed to make you feel gorgeous

It does me and that is not easy to do these days

If you like the look of the Stella

Please have a browse of Babes with Babies

They sell a whole range of stunning maternity and nursing wear

I was lucky enough to review one of their breastfeeding dresses

When I went to BritMums with Matilda Mae in 2012

And I have just ordered two stunning dresses for BritMums Live this year!

And one of them is called Matilda!

I was sent a Stella dress free of charge for the purpose of this review

But my love of the dress is genuine and it has been an honour to share it with you
