The Birth of an Idea
 Some
women get sympathy pains when around pregnant women. Linda Turner
is no exception other than she decided to do something about it.
This Colorado native conceived the idea for the Bellybra® while
in an exercise class.
“A VERY pregnant woman was Jazzer-sizing next to me and I
could feel her pain. When the class was over I asked if she was
aware of anything that would hold her belly up off her pelvis so
she could get some relief. Her answer was no, but if I found something
she would buy it on the spot.”
A trip to the fabric store, a few pregnant girlfriends and a patent
issued nine months later, the Bellybra® was born.
 The
garment is recommended for that uncomfortable third trimester run.
While the trend seems to be bare it all, some women are not comfortable
with that feel or look. Many women have commented on the “snug
and safe” feeling the garment provides along with the gentle
support to the back and abdomen. It also ranks way up there on the
convenience approval rating system. With no bottom snaps or Velcro,
the frequent trips to the “lu” are easy and struggle
free.
The secret is in the back panel. It stretches in one direction,
up and down. While doing so it gently pulls the shoulders back and
equally distributes weight between the shoulders. The non-constrictive,
two-inch elastic bellyband lifts weight off the pelvis. This full
torso support is a simple solution to an uncomfortable problem.
The Bellybra® comes in two colors, solid black and a white
stretch lace. A solid white and nude will be available in late spring.
The fabrics are so attractive the garment can be worn exposed, as
a camisole under jackets or sweaters.
The Bellybra® will not only lift your expanding belly, it will
lift your spirits too!!
Order your Bellybra® according to your current bra size at
your third trimester stage.
Small - 30/32 Medium – 34/36 Large – 38/40 XLarge –

That Special Relationship NATURAL EMBRACE™ from Prenatal Cradle®
Inc.
The bonding effect that occurs between mother and child as she cradles
her baby in her arms is now easier and longer lasting with PRENATAL
CRADLE's Natural Embrace™ products. The soft, cuddly unibody
design of the Natural Embrace™ enables the parent to carry
baby in a "sling" configuration, with no hardware adjustments
necessary, in an easy-on, easy-in mode.
 Available
in five sizes to accommodate nearly every mother's and father's
shape and size, the Natural Embrace™ supports children up to
35 pounds and is constructed of a baby soft, washable fabric that
encourages touching and stroking. The unibody design folds neatly
into a small pillow for convenient portability and storage, and
when worn, the soft padded shoulder does not shift as baby moves.
There are no hardware adjustments necessary which offers an easy
on - easy in feature and the soft padded sides provide support for
baby's neck. In addition, a newborn shelf™ supports newborns
and premature babies and facilitates the natural response of "turning
in" for proper breastfeeding.

the top of one shoulder to the bottom of the rib cage on the opposite
side. Available sizes are:
