These new styles of baby changing bags hold their own in the fashion stakes yet are robust and large enough to be a practical option. When you are choosing a changing bag you need to bear in mind that this is an investment buy which should not only see you through your child’s early days but still be used for any later additions to the family. But when you’ve finished using your bag to carry baby items, the best baby changing bag will convert effortlessly into all purpose designer bag.

When you’re choosing your new baby change bag there are several key style points you need to be aware of:

Fabric – you are no longer restricted to “wipe-clean vinyl” – the newest wave of change bags include bold prints and tactile fabric. Leather is the hottest trend at the moment and a leather baby change bag will not only turn heads but age well and endure the rough and tumble of the early days.

Accessories – the newest bags include many accessories to make life easy for the new mum, but which can be removed when the time for fashion bag conversion arrives! Matching travel wipe holders, changing mats and insulated holders for food or liquids are practical accessories you cannot afford to be without.

One brand which has cornered the market in style and practicality is OI OI. OIOI first hit the scene with their unique Hobo baby changing bag which has become a classic style in its own right. Completing the range this season are messenger bags (which make a perfect bag for Dads) and the robust carry-all. OIOI choose their fabrics carefully including patent leather, microfibre and wool. The standout statement piece this season though has to be the gorgeous chestnut leather Hobo.This is a gorgeous baby change bag in snakeskin printed leather with chunky metal hardware and adjustable shoulder strap. Effortlessly stylish it combines the best in practical design but the cool features mean it is a perfect baby changing bag for stylish mamas.

It’s a fact of life that once you announce that you’re having a baby, then the invites for weddings, parties and formal dinners seem to flood in! At these events you’d usually wear a new dress, but it seems ridiculous to buy an item that you’ll only wear during the next nine months.

Well, the answer here is to buy a dress you love, yet one that is versatile enough to wear at lots of different occassions. Perhaps a flexible style which can be altered to look differently, like the amazing “six way dress”, or one that can be dressed up or down with clever maternity accessories.

In terms of fashion and style, the familiar “smock dress” is completely out of maternity fashion! Nowadays, pregnant women have the choice of exciting styles – halter-necks, shimmering fabrics and bold colours are all commonplace. You can select a black dress if you like, but nowadays, many ladies pick to flaunt their bumps in fuchsias, scarlets and bold patterns. Some pregnant women actually find that dresses are more comfortable to wear when they’re expecting than trousers and tops too. This is because maternity dresses are cut for comfort and without an uncomfortable waistband to dig in.

But the finest thing about a maternity dress has to be the adaptability. Nobody thinks a pregnant woman is overdressed if she’s wearing a maternity dress, so you can wear one everyday and not raise eyebrows, A dress with a bold jacket is perfect for work. Going out? Then experiment with different coloured wraps or pashminas. For ordinary daywear, just throw on a coordinating cardigan and you’re ready to go!

One good reason for this is that swimming, and forms of exercising in water has become very popular and recommended by health professionals. Gentle exercise in water can play a very important role in pregnancy, keeping the mum-to-be healthy and in good shape for the birth and afterwards. Therefore swimsuit manufacturers have responded to this trend by producing wide ranges of practical maternity swimwear including maternity swimsuits and tankinis for pregnant women.

In addition, pregnant women themselves have influenced the expanding style portfolios of swimwear designers, demanding the same levels of style and design details they had in their usual swimwear be transferred to maternity swimwear too.

A maternity swimsuit is a one piece options suitable for the pool and beach and for swimming or water exercise such as aquareobics too in your local swimming pool.

Maternity swimsuits are constructed with comfort in mind. Support is usually in the form of a clever built in fabric shelf. However, comfort and ease is usually coupled with cool design details and stylish touches.

One fashionable idea is ruched maternity swimsuits where the material is gathered at the sides for a flattering look. Another is to use bows or ties to give a focal point to the swimsuit.

Maternity tankinis are a great choice for pregnant women who wish to wear flattering swimwear at the beach or by the pool.

A maternity tankini is a two piece item of maternity swimwear but the tankini is a top and therefore gives fuller body coverage than a maternity bikini would.

Also, tankinis are hot poolside fashion at the moment and so by choosing a maternity tankini, a pregnant woman doesn’t have to feel as though she is losing out in the fashion stakes or having to settle for something frumpy when she could be wearing cool maternity swimwear instead.

Here are my favourite suggestions for maternity and new mum gifts.

Comfortable clothing:
Maternity clothing and breastfeeding clothing are also considerate and
much appreciated presents. Breastfeeding tops, loungewear; perhaps even a maternity evening dress can be given as presents. Or maybe some maternity accessories for easy living, such as a pair of luxury slippers, or style like a cool pashmina.

Jewellery
A beautiful pregnancy gift would be a long necklace with a chunky pendant. The long shape elongates the woman’s look, and a large pendant balances the bump. Check that the necklace is adjustable so the pendant falls just above the bump. Popular new mum gifts include reminder bracelets. For breast feeding Mommies this bracelet is a stylish way to mark which side they need to begin the next feed on.

Skincare and toiletries
Maternity presents such as moisturising body creams, scented oils, candles, and bath oils also make much appreciated luxury presents. Look out for luxury gift packs of creams and massage oils that help prevent and remove the marks that are inevitable after child birth. Pregnant women love to feel pampered.

Still unsure?
If you are still undecided about the kind of maternity gift that will be appreciated, you can offer a gift certificate that can be redeemed for something useful and essential. This is an alternative way to make sure that a gift is not doubled-up and the recipient can pick a gift that goes with her tastes exactly.

Maternity gifts are a nice way to show that you are thinking of someone during their pregnancy. They
are also a beautiful way to mark the new baby’s arrival with a present for the new mom rather than the new baby!
