Zoe Foster Blake Shares Her Best Style Recommendations For Pregnancy

Zoe Foster Blake Shares Her Maternity Clothing Recommendations

Zoe Foster Blake famously announced she was pregnant just after Beyonce shared that she was pregnant with twins, and her post went completely viral.

While Zoe Foster Blake already has one child, Sonny Foster Blake, with her husband Hamish, she's picked up a lot more pregnancy tips the second time around.

She shared a post on Instagram to give other women tips on products to buy when they're pregnant, and there are some good tips in there.

"I didn’t wear overalls last pregnancy and I feel like such a friggen dunce. They’re the best! I live in them! Waistbands can suck a doz!
Because A) I always want recommendations and therefore assume everyone else does, and B) maternity attire, generally speaking, sucks," she wrote.

I didn't wear overalls last pregnancy and I feel like such a friggen dunce. They're the best! I live in them! Waistbands can suck a doz! Because A) I always want recommendations and therefore assume everyone else does, and B) maternity attire, generally speaking, sucks, here's some other preggo clothing I thrash: 🤰🏻Active Truth tights - over the bump, with thick, flattering fabric. Bought in first tri and they're growing happily with me. Nice maternity active wear is impossible to find: why? Come on Lulu/Nike et al - preggos exercise too 🤰🏻Bendon crop top - the classic not-super-flattering-but-very-comfy-crop top (I tried the CK one to be cool but it cut in and pissed me off) and Bonds maternity bras 🤰🏻Bras N Things Lucile Bralette because the last thing these tatas need is padding. And all wire-free bras are padded. Why? Bought one in each colour 🤰🏻Seed denim (the elastic waist ones but in a size up, they're a good ankle-skimming length and skinny shape, and also the drop crotch soft denim ones) and also Ripe Maternity denim, the black skinny leg ones 🤰🏻Overalls - mine are Hatch x Current Elliot, which I bought online with some other Hatch stuff that I'm yet to wear, in honesty 🤰🏻ASOS maternity and ZARA for basic tees and little cheapie fun smock dresses 🤰🏻Bassike tees and soft cotton pants 🤰🏻Kookai for stretchy tight dresses - cotton for summersies; wool for wintersies - great as a skirt over tights, or with heels HA HA AS IF, on toast etc etc 🤰🏻 Horrible dressing gown from the fiery depths of hell ✋️Bah! That'll do. Worth noting only a couple of these are dedicated maternity items. Hey, maternity fashion, be better! (You too, wedding shoes. You were AWFUL.)

Her list goes as follows...

Active Truth tights - over the bump, with thick, flattering fabric. Bought in first tri and they're growing happily with me. Nice maternity active wear is impossible to find: why? Come on Lulu/Nike et al – preggos exercise too
Bendon crop top - the classic not-super-flattering-but-very-comfy-crop top (I tried the CK one to be cool but it cut in and pissed me off) and Bonds maternity bras
Bras N Things Lucile Bralette because the last thing these tatas need is padding. And all wire-free bras are padded. Why? Bought one in each colour
Seed denim (the elastic waist ones but in a size up, they're a good ankle-skimming length and skinny shape, and also the drop crotch soft denim ones) and also Ripe Maternity denim, the black skinny leg ones
Overalls - mine are Hatch x Current Elliot, which I bought online with some other Hatch stuff that I’m yet to wear, in honesty
ASOS maternity and ZARA for basic tees and little cheapie fun smock dresses
Bassike tees and soft cotton pants
Kookai for stretchy tight dresses - cotton for summersies; wool for wintersies – great as a skirt over tights, or with heels HA HA AS IF, on toast etc etc

She also recommends wearing a 'horrible dressing gown from the fiery depths of hell', for maximum comfort.

The best part about a lot of these products is that they are not maternity specific, so even if you're not pregnant you can wear them to be comfy!

She has also previously recommended regular massage during pregnancy, because often it can be very tough on your body.

A pregnant body is a hard-working thing of sweaty, bulbous beauty. It's tense. Heavy. Cumbersome. Off-balance. Puffy. And very often, sore. After scoring a fractured pubis then osteitis pubis last time, I'm doing All The Things to ensure that shit doesn't happen again. I'm midway through writing a blog on all that (hopeful that it may help first-timers starting to feel a bit spicy round the pelvis), part of which will loudly endorse regular massage. I just happily deep-breathed and winced my way through a 💯 preggo massage here at @qualiaresort, complete with my beloved @sodashiskincare products, (ask for Taylah), and want to also recommend the pregnancy massage at @QTsydneypics, Joey from @stillbeautyau in Melbourne, and if you're in Queenstown, Valeria or Marielle at Le Spa. I realise massages are generally considered a luxury, but when you're furnished with an extra 10-20kg of boob and belly, I reckon you get to file massages under 'maintenance/necessary/the doctor said I had to.'🤰🏻

No wonder she has such a beautiful glow!
