Pippa O’Connor has revealed her pregnancy frustrations, cravings and tips for fellow expectant mums in her latest blog post.
The stylish model, already mum to 2-year-old Ollie, recently announced that her and husband Brian Ormond are expecting another child.
The 31-year-old, who is 18-weeks gone, has revealed on pippa.ie that she is “feeling good and definitely not as tired as previous weeks”.
However, Pippa admitted her pregnancy is taking its toll on her skin: “I had lots of spots appearing all over my chin, which is pretty annoying. I get rid of one and another pops up.
“If you follow me on Snapchat (pippa.oconnor) you’ll know I have been putting Bepanthen nappy cream on them, which is really brilliant for drying out spots,” she advised.
She also revealed her cravings – bucketloads of chocolate! “Mind you that’s nothing new so I can’t blame pregnancy on that,” she joked.
Speaking about being noticeably pregnant, she said: “I haven’t really gotten a bump yet. It just looks like I’ve had a big dinner, so it’s easily covered at the moment.
“My normal jeans are starting to get uncomfortable though. I was laughing the other day when someone sent me a message asking how was I wearing my skinny jeans, she said she was pregnant too and was using a hair bobbin to make the waist bigger. That’s exactly what I was doing that day too!”
She added: “It works a treat! But what’s brilliant is the Belly Belt, I got one the last time, I just have to find it. It’s much more comfortable than your hair bobbin… I got mine in Mothercare, I’m sure they still have them. They’ll be in other maternity/baby stores too.”
When it comes to keeping her Most Stylish Woman crown, Pippa said she headed into Topshop this week for a few pieces – and some weren’t even specifically maternity wear.
Out of her picks, VIP is loving this grid jumper. “This isn’t maternity either. I love this pattern and neckline. It’s long enough that’ll it’ll last also,” she said.
