JakFish - So You Don't Feel Like an Elephant

I was a miserable pregnant woman. It's OK, I can admit it. Although, in this case, the first step to recovery was delivery!

But even the happiest pregnant lady usually moans about her clothes - or for many of us, her husband (boyfriend/partner's) clothes. The choices out there are as miserable as I was during my pregnancy.

Or they used to be. What I wouldn't have given to find Jakfish four years ago. The maternity wear company that readily admits you're not going to find "another big sweatshirt," is likewise home to the kind of clothes you can actually see yourself wearing post-pregnancy. Made from Polartec, the Owen hoodie is cool when you're hot and warm when you're cold (in those very rare moments that you might be). The fabric hugs the body just enough to wick away sweat when you're walking off the pregnancy pudge, and it stretches as you grow. With side vents to unzip as your belly grows and rezip as you slim back down, the Owen hoodie looks good on Mom before, during and after pregnancy. We're talking an investment that lasts beyond nine months.

Paired with Jakfish's Ryan Pants, which boast the same material and the same stretchy forgiveness, you're as ready for the grocery store as you are for yoga, and you'll be holding tight to these babies once your real baby comes along!

Jakfish mom Steph has offered to give one Inside Out reader a boost with new duds! Want to win? Check out the Jakfish site, and come back to comment on your favorite set of all.

I LOVE the Eamon Lightweight Hoodie... I'm a big fan of hoodies, and I've never been able to find one when I'm preggo. I've always had to resort to one of hubby's... and believe me, that is NOT flattering!
The Ryan pants are really cute as well!

Disclaimer

I realized I had to add one of these because people let their minds run away with them sometimes. Wait, where was I?

The reviews I put up on this site are NOT paid for by any company. They come from my little ol' head. Some of the products I found myself - on the 'net, at the store, or from other moms. Some were sent my way by publicists. Usually they didn't fit the mold of another project I was working on, but I thought they were so cool I couldn't help sharing!

As for what happens to the products I didn't care for - you'll never know! Because I won't write about them on here. So if you see it, I liked it. 'Nuff said!
