The tart is yummy Joanna, especially as it's so easy to make-more time to enjoy family time! Esther you should see my bump now-huge indeed. Lily, my daughter definitely has her moments and her new thing is to demand a food be taken off her plate if she doesn't want it, can't just leave it! x Thanks for the lovely comments!

Plenty of nice shops in London sell COLLEGIEN but you can also find them online: http://en.collegien-shop.com/! Enjoy :) To Selena: Thanks Selena! You have a great taste: the strips are one of our best selling models! Maybe because it goes with everything! To Polly: Good information! Maybe it should be interesting to develop the product in Asia ;) We will definitely think about it! Meanwhile, we are selling online http://en.collegien-shop.com/ To Kira: we have the same habit in France... I also think it is safest! That is why we developed a sole that does not slip on any floor, even stone or wood floors! To Marion: I am pleased to see that you and your family are happy with our designs! To Gabrielle: because the sole is made in the best material, you can wear the COLLEGIEN's designs outside during dry days. The ballet flat as especially good to be worn at the beach when climbing in the rocks or swimming in the sea. And as it is machine washable at 30°, if it becomes dirty, you just have to put them in the washing machine! But as they have a breathable sole, if the weather is wet, you will also become wet…! So that is the reason why it is mainly slipper socks :) To Courtney: I am so happy to hear that you like our designs!

It is so fun to have a large family, and I hope you have a very uneventful pregnancy. I will be looking for maternity wear in just a few months (yay!) for our #4 and this post could not have come at a better time. Had no idea top shop had maternity section, but I am excited to check it out. I found some good basics at GAP in the US that have held up well through the other pregnancies. First, congratulations!

I had a few ruched t-shirts and tops from Isabella Oliver too, plus two dresses. They always made me feel good. But I did vow after my first daughter was born in October 2006 after a very hot summer never to be highly pregnant in summer again! Good luck!!

In my first pregnancy I felt it was worth spending too much on maternity wear and ended up feeling uncomfotable. So this time I wanted to look as chic as I do not being pregnant and bought a couple of clothes. I love Bellybutton where I got a cool white shirt with blue stripes, which I'll definitely will also wear afterwards. And I also got a great white jean skirt by Paulina which is incredibly comfy. I also like their shirts, which are Quote pricey, but some button up in front and might work for breastfeeding - at least that's my excuse... Have a great pregnancy! I'm looking foreward to new posts... xxx Diana Dear Courtney

I can't believe it's so hard to find stylish and functional maternity clothes. I don't know how I got through my last pregnancy and this time I have several parties and weddings to go to and am finding it impossible to find a decent dress. I did have some success with TopShop as well (http://minipiccolini.com/2012/04/maternity-topshop/) but still searching for some good dresses (and great jeans in summery colours that don't have a weird fit!).

I also love legging when i am pregnant, especially in the later stages like now as everything else just feels so uncomfortable. I got my best bits from topshop, had some amazing pregnancy skinny jeans from there which i got when i was first pregnant, which is still wear - and manage to make even a beached whale looking good. I bought some striped tops from Isabella Oliver's maternity sections and i have found those to simple/stylish and most importantly comfortable. I also bought some superga trainers - although they are not specifically maternity wear - they are super comfortable especially when doing the school run. Would love you to do a post on unisex newborn-wear , as will need to get some for this little baby as the stuff from my other kids looks well past it's best.

There was a huge discounted one near where I lived and it made all the difference. I do think you can look stylish when pregnant, but I also think you need to feel comfortable most of all. Leggings are great! Also, I'm a big no-no for high heels and baby bumps. In my world they just don't go hand in hand, it is true though, that heels and I just never get along.
