BASICS: When you're pregnant there are a whole range of sports you're advised not to participate in. For obvious reasons contact sports are out: football, rugby, and so on. But you're also told not to do any sport that might lead you to lose your balance and fall: running, horse riding, skiing, tennis, the list is endless... ... Read the complete review

When I was pregnant I was very poorly with sickness. So much so that I had to be admitted into hospital numerous times. However on the rare occasions that I was feeling slightly less nauseous, I used to enjoy going to my local fitness centre for a swim and a relax in the steam room. Whilst for the first few weeks of my ... Read the complete review

I know that when you are pregnant you are not supposed to care too much about how you look figure-wise, but I did! So even when shopping for a maternity swimsuit I wanted one that would make me look passable. I didn't mind looking pregnant, I just didn't want to look either like a beached whale, or like I wasn't pregnant, but just had a ... Read the complete review

The reason being, Figleaves was just about the only place I could find something flattering enough to hold everything up top as well as looking stylish. The two piece I have is basically a black halterneck top (so it's more ... Read the complete review

Early in my pregnancy I often went swimming and found my regular swimsuit fitted fine. I then had a long gap from the pool, but as I started my maternity leave with the plan to go to aquanatal, I chose to invest in a Blooming Marvellous maternity tankini which I purchased from e-bay for £5 including post and packing. At ... Read the complete review

Whilst I was pregnant, like most women I wanted to keep as fit as possible and eat as much healthy food as I could to ensure that my baby was getting the best start in life that I could provide it. It wasn't until I was roughly 20 weeks pregnant that I felt energetic enough to partake in anything strenuous, it was around this time that ... Read the complete review

I have always been a very active person, and when I fell pregnant really missed participating in my much loved sports so I decided to look for something else to help me stay fit through my pregnancy. A friend suggested aqua natal classes. Fantastic, I thought, and looked out my trusty tankini. There I hit a major problem. My body ... Read the complete review
