As I said before, it’s pretty hectic doing any sort of exhibition, but Baby Shows seem to be particularly manic, maybe because there’s an awful lot of very heavily pregnant ladies there. I saw one lady who was due in a weeks time, but baby no1 had arrived a week early and I was convinced that she’d be into labour sooner rather than later after all that walking around. (It worked for me. No1 and no3 labours started after a good walk – no1 after walking round the county show all day with my in-laws and no3 after walking from Brighton Marina to the pier and back!)

So I didn’t get to see much of the rest of the exhibition, but these ladies had their stand conveniently situated on my route to the loo and this gorgeous swimsuit caught my eye. During my first pregnancy I bought a tankini style swimsuit from Mothercare which was unflattering in the extreme, however I almost wish I was pregnant again to wear this beautiful one from Mama Beach at Millison Boutique. With the flattering halterneck and bright pattern, it would definitely make any bump a beautiful one.

Even better, the lady who designs Mama Beach, Nicki Freer was there on the stand herself. I LOVE meeting the people behind the products and Nicki was no exception. What I hadn’t realised was that the swimsuits themselves are made from an Italian fabric and lined for more support and so that you never get that see-through effect. Never a good look at the best of times….

Anyway, normal service will be resumed next week and I’ll stop blethering about Baby Shows…until the NEC Baby Show on 22nd May of course!
