Mothers on the move
September 18th, 2007
I’m all for exercise. Not only does it help me keep my sanity amidst the craziness that is my life but it also gives me a much-needed pick-me-up to get through the rest of the day (or the long night if I’m hitting the gym after 8pm). Even when I’m pregnant I try to hit the gym a few times a week until I’m too huge to waddle on that treadmill one more step (about week 39). Now there’s a new website that supports and encourages women like us to “stay active, fit, and healthy during pregnancy and in the first few years of motherhood.” Mom&BabySport gives expectant and new moms the tools they need to do just that.
Started by a mom who accidentally ran a marathon while two-months pregnant, Mom&BabySport offers the clothing, accessories, and support every mom needs whether she’s looking to exercise her body or her mind. The site offers nursing sports bras, maternity bike jerseys and workout capris, and even lavender orange shea butter for preventing those nasty stretch marks. Looking for more info on eating healthy during your pregnancy or an at-home postnatal workout? Mom&BabySport has it all. I love their Fit Tips and “10 Co-Mom-dents”–some really great advice there.
I was lucky enough to test out the Bella Materna Nursing Jog Bra and the L’ovedbaby Nursing Shawl. The jog bra was fabulous! It actually supported those milk-filled jugs of mine while pumping up the speed on our home treadmill. Plus I could easily nurse immediately following my over-to-soon workout without having to switch bras (who wants to do that anyway when you’re dripping sweat?). The material was definitely a heavier, sturdier fabric and the bra was ultra chic. It’s actually nicer than any other sports bra I own and I’ll probably wear it even when I’m done nursing, it’s that cool!
The nursing shawl, though not something I’d normally purchase for myself, also became an instant favorite when I used it at a get-together the day after it arrived. It easily covered both the front and back so no one had to see my t-shirt making its way up my spine. The shawl is made of breathable lightweight fabric and folds up extremely compactly, which is good because there’s not much room left in that diaper bag of mine! I accidentally left it at the friend’s home and I’ve been going through withdrawals ever since!
Whether you’re already a pro at the exercise thing or you’re just starting out and trying to fit just five minutes of exercise into your busy schedule, Mom&BabySport has something for you. If feeling more “confident, energetic, and positive” is important to you, then it’s important you visit Mom&BabySport.com. –Emily

As Cathy’s mom, I can attest to her sincere dedication to her new business. Cathy is a very patient mom who allows herself time and energy to exercise most days. Since she is a pyschogolist, she realizes the emotional lift that physical exercise can provide. She is a fit and fabulous mom.

PS: Also, Cathy even finds time to be a great daughter. I inspired my children to exercise for fun and fitness. Now, Cathy inspires me to keep exercising. By the way, the clothes at Mom and Baby Sport look great on senior women. The clothes are appropiate and comfortable to wear all day long.

This looks like such an exciting idea. I love it! I just looked at this website and can’t believe someone finally came up with a great solution for active moms. And better yet the owner of the company has a background in psychology. Way to go! She would know more than most people what moms need.

I have visited this site, and its just great. What a concept, to develop a website and a product that pregnant moms need. The resources and links have also been a great help!

This is a great website. It has some great workout gear for moms. I loved the skirts.
Also, I enjoyed the fit tips and 10 co momdents under body and soul. I’d recommend you all taking a peek. Enjoy! Sarah

What a great website for mom’s who really need strong support with keeping healthy during and after pregnancy. Being a mom with older kids, I know so many new mom’s who will benefit and love this website! Right on!!
