They say that the second trimester is the breeziest one: most of the symptoms subside, it’s the best 3 months to travel in, everyone start to realise that you’re pregnant and not just looking full from a buffet, people start standing up for you on public transport, and you’re glowing. I’ve been very blessed to experience all of these. Come to think of it, the defining moment of this period was the start of the appearance of my baby bump and of course, New York. I’m so thankful for these first-time-in-my-life-moments that serve as book ends of my second trimester. 
I’ve compiled a couple of my favourite looks from the second trimester. As you can see, when I mentioned to “think Lean and Long” I wasn’t kidding. Here are some of my tips to look chic during this stage of your life:
1. Show off your new curves in body-con styles (think knee-length and midi, not mini please). Betty Browne has gorgeous organic cotton styles that you can wear later on as well. Leonard St has cute printed dresses in the most flattering silhouettes.
2. Invest in flattering coat and jackets. Remember how stylish Kate Middleton looked every time stepped out in her knee-skimming coats?
3. Comfortable High Heels are your best friends. Especially pumps, they are so easy to slip into. Being ‘hands-free’ means you don’t have to try your balance. I’ve found Habbot to have the most stylish and comfortable pairs.
4. Embrace colours and prints. So what we can’t wear some of the latest trends right now. Repeat after me: “Cropped and sheer tops, high waisted-anythings, dungarees and jumpsuits are not designed for pregnant ladies!” Do not attempt to befriend them. Instead, these trends can serve us as motivation for after baby is born :)
Let’s face it, when you look great, you’re going to feel great, and therefore so will your baby. So why not dress up a little this weekend? “Every day is worth dressing up for. Especially when you’re pregnant.” If you are craving for new stylish maternity pieces, head to our $500 Gift Voucher Giveaway with Soon Maternity here!
I’m off to Adelaide for the weekend, wishing you a glorious one too!
[spoiler title=”中文版”]他们说孕中期是最棒的：很多第一孕期的症状渐渐消退，这3个月是最好的旅行期间，大家看到你的大肚子终于知道你怀孕了，而不是因为吃了太多自助餐，人们开始在公共交通工具上为你站起来。我很幸运经历到这一切。想起来，这时期的开始是当我的宝宝肚开始显现的时候，孕中期的结束是在纽约。
我从我的孕中期汇编了几件我最喜欢的时装。正如你可以看到，当初我劝告孕妇应该“想着细长的线条” ，我并没有在开玩笑。以下是一些我在这个阶段的提示，使你依然看上去非常时髦。
1。不要认为你怀孕了就必须穿很松弛的衣服，其实贴身的衣服更漂亮 。Betty Browne有舒服和时髦的有机棉上衣和裙子，生了宝宝后你还可以穿呢！Leonard St有许多可爱的印花连衣裙。
2。投资几件谄媚的外套和夹克。还记得时尚的英国公爵夫人凯特·米德尔顿每次出门她都穿着她的膝盖长短大衣吗？
3。舒适的高跟鞋是你最好的朋友。尤其是没有任何鞋带的，这样你不许要蹲着穿鞋 。我发现 Habbot有最时尚，最舒适的高跟鞋。
4 。拥抱带有颜色和图案的衣服。虽然暂时我们不可以穿很多最新的时装。但我们也能享受可爱的服装，尤其现在是春天，多穿带有花按的裙子。
我想，你一定会同意 ，你若看上去很棒，你也会感觉很棒，因此将你的宝宝。那么，为什么不稍微打扮了本周末吗？ “每一天都是值得化妆，尤其是当你怀孕了。 ”如果你是渴望新的时尚孕妇片，头$ 500礼券赠品推出的产妇在这里！
这个周末我将去阿德莱德，祝你也过一个愉快的周末！[/spoiler]
