We particularly love the Ruffle Wrap Dress. The gorgeous deep blue and elegant ruffles are so pretty and the fit flatters your bump without hiding it. Its made from super soft jersey wrap, so you'll not only look fabulous, but you'll also be incredibly comfortable.

If you have a winter bump and want to keep your little bundle toasty – then look no further than Boden.  Their maternity collection is a delicious combination of their signature prints mixed with a rich palette of winter brights.

Our particular faves are:

Knot Front Top in yellow. This works well for both work and casual… making those pennies stretch further.

Blue spotty Maternity Cosy Brushed Pull-Ons – super soft and perfect for those last few pregnancy months when you want to be uber-comfy and cost-effective.

Jersey Party Dress – with pretty flowers on the neckline and in a vivid pink, we think this one isnt only great for parties, but works in a variety of occasions.

If you are pregnant, do you find yourself laying awake at night being kicked by your little one, or just because you are plain uncomfortable from your growing bump?  The dreamgenii Maternity Pillow promises restful sleep for pregnant mums and after testing, we can confirm it worked like a dream (if you pardon the pun!).

How it works: This long and soft pillow lies next to you and sits between your legs, the back support hooks under your side and you can either cuddle it (my fave) or lie with your arm hooked over the top.  Through this position it supports your back, bump and knees in bed, helping you get comfy and also encourages you to stay on your left side when sleeping (but can also be used on your right).  And, when used from 20 weeks, it can also encourage your baby to adopt the optimal birth position which can mean a shorter and less painful labour. 

I also found it provided a good back rest when sitting on the sofa... and even a good laptop support with a bit of contortion (although this isn't recommend by dreamgenii!)

Then, as, with all of our favourite products at TrendLife, its usage is extended as once baby arrives, it supports you and baby whilst breat feeding.

Available from www.dreamgenii.com £44.99
