If you followed me throughout my pregnancy journey (particularly with Jude), you’d know that I basically lived in leggings day in and day out. Leggings while relaxing at home, leggings with pumps for church on Sundays (okay maybe the pumps were few and far between due to my major cankles), and leggings with pretty much anything and everything. They were my saving grace- especially in those last few uncomfortable months.
I had heard only good things about Blanqi leggings through some of my IG friends (or whatever you call them- ha) and decided to give them a go. I was SOLD! I ended up getting either two or three pairs and literally lived in them (ask my hubby- at one point he told me I needed to put something else on because every picture I posted consisted of me in these leggings). But if you’ve ever been preggo or have had a baby, you know comfort is key. And in the 9th month of pregnancy, leggings are pants… am I right?
They are high waisted, extremely flattering, and support the ever growing belly oh-so-well. In my last pregnancy I had polyhydramnios. In English, that translates to an extreme amount of amniotic fluid. We’re talking like more than double the average amount. So basically I felt like I was carrying around a 10-11 lb. baby towards the end (yeah- not fun). These leggings helped relieve SO much pressure and supported the massive belly I was carrying around. They will also work post maternity as you want something that stretches/fits well with lots of comfort.
I wouldn’t talk so highly of a brand if I didn’t truly believe in them. I’m SO excited to team up with them to give you all pre-access to their Black Friday sale. Through this particular code– you will receive these leggings for 50% off now thru Black Friday.
