And once you sit there with your new-born miracle in your arms, you may find it hard to believe that your life ever had any meaning before this very moment. At the same time, becoming a mother is probably also one of the biggest challenges you will face. All of a sudden, your everyday is turned upside down, a good night’s sleep is a thing of the past and then, of course, there is all the worrying: Will I turn out to be the mother I wanted to be? Do I have enough love to spread around to even more people? And will I have time and energy for my interests, friends and everything that used to give my life meaning? Fortunately, life has its own peculiar logic. You will get through the awful nights of non-stop baby crying, and there comes a time when you will be able to laugh at how you used to walk your pram down deserted, dark streets like a zombie, trying to get your baby to sleep. Sit-ups will help you get rid of the extra kilos after your pregnancy, and beautiful clothes will function as camouflage while you are working on shedding that extra weight. And - although you will probably not believe it right now - your soft and cuddly little baby will soon grow up to become an independent individual, who will throw tantrums, get knee scratches and a first broken heart, while you are wondering where all the time went. However, one thing that will never change is . your love! This issue of LICIOUS is dedicated to the first period of that long, fantastic life you and your child will share. Meet three pregnant women, who already know the best possible way to spend their maternity leave, and be inspired by our comprehensive guide on maternity, which contains numerous ideas for how to bond with your baby while keeping the love for your partner and your interests alive. Naturally, you will also find lots of hip and functional fashion that fits your beautiful tummy and can be used here and now while you are waiting for your miracle to happen!

Three Danish women talk about the sweet waiting time. Just five months after her wedding, 32-year old Katrin Dines Alsing had her first daughter Anna, who will be a big sister to a little boy or girl. She uses the waiting time before the birth to sew, bake – and of course shop for comfortable and stylish maternity clothes! What has been most important to you during your pregnancy? That I feel well-adjusted, both physically and mentally. Fortunately, a lot of people say I carry my pregnancy well. That means a lot. How are you spending your time before the baby comes? Being domestic and creative! I’m going to sort all the baby clothes we have lying around, bake cakes and make dishes for the freezer, and then I hope I can manage to sew a stroller harness for Anna and maybe a couple of tunics and some summer pants. I also enjoy spending time with Anna trying to prepare her for us having a baby in the house. How has your pregnancy been so far? People feel they are allowed to say anything they like about pregnant women! I’m doing well, I don’t have any problems and I don’t have any complaints about being pregnant, but still lots of people say: “now, you don’t need to get any bigger”. I gained 15 kg last time I was pregnant and just enjoyed it. So I think these types of comments are a little strange. What do you expect from your maternity clothes? They should be attractive, stylish, fit well and be comfortable. I really like blouses and tunics that aren’t too tight. What is your best styling tip? Denim leggings are great! They work with either everyday blouses or a more stylish top or tunic and they make you look slim and show off your legs well. What is your favourite piece of maternity clothing? My best outfit is my dark denim leggings worn with a classic sweater with short sleeves. MY MUST-HAVES 1 2 1 3 “I got this Georg Jensen ring from my husband as a wedding gift.

Today, she’s waiting for a little girl and is happy about her pregnant tummy, which is all the more beautiful when she puts on her favourite jeans. What has been most important to you during your pregnancy? Making sure I feel good and not trying to live up to all the unwritten rules that women have a tendency to live by. I’ll do whatever makes me feel good. How do you spend your time before the baby comes? I really hope to be able to pass all of my exams before I give birth, so I can go on maternity leave with peace of mind. I read about giving birth in books and on the Internet and am planning to start pre-natal yoga. I feel calm and adjusted and I’m sure everything will be just fine. What do you expect out of your maternity clothes? They should fit well and show off my baby bump in an attractive way so I don’t just look slightly fat. I have been lucky enough that my pregnancy was showing fairly early, already in week 13, I had a nice little bump. I also want to look just as stylish as when I’m not pregnant, so colours and design mean a lot. What is your best styling tip? Don’t forget to accessorize! A scarf can pep up the most boring outfit, and a pair of beautiful earrings or a large ring will always add a little extra. What is your absolute must-have during your pregnancy? Maternity leggings! They’ve been my constant companion since week 12, and they will probably not come off until the heat forces me to. What’s your favourite piece of maternity clothing? My mama·licious maternity jeans! They are super cool and incredibly comfortable to wear. The “tummy piece” is made of stylish cotton that doesn’t slide down. 1 2 MY MUST-HAVES 1 “Fortunately, you don’t have to worry about the size of your tummy when it comes to scarves.” Scarf from Pieces 2 3 4 5 3 “If you button your cardigan just over your baby bump, it gives your body a beautiful shape.” Cardigan from mama∙licious “They’re simply indispensable!

Indeed, it’s been a bit of a struggle to get pregnant, and after four miscarriages, she was about to lose hope. Today, her tummy is holding a little girl, and the preparations are in full swing. What has been most important to you during your pregnancy? It’s important for me to try to keep my body in shape, to eat many small and varied meals, and not to push myself and my body further than I feel up to. Now and again, I put too many demands on myself, but that’s just part of who I am. How do you spend your time before the baby comes? I already love being a mother so much, that I’m going shopping for clothes. A stroller and accessories are in place and preparations for my baby daughter’s room are in full swing. How has your pregnancy been so far? Because I’ve had four miscarriages, it was hard to be optimistic at the beginning of the pregnancy and I was very nervous the entire time. Eventually I went to a scanning clinic and it helped me calm down. We were reassured that our little miracle was alive and well and our optimism increased enormously when we got top marks in the nuchal translucency scans. Now I worry about the same things most other pregnant women do, and there’s no longer anything abnormal in the thoughts and feelings I have. I’m looking very positively at the whole thing. What do you expect out of your maternity clothes? For everyday use, I expect my maternity clothes to be comfortable, but still attractive and presentable. For festive occasions, I like to wear dresses that show my body shape. What is your best styling tip? Natural make-up, scarves and jewellery! I’m a very feminine girl, and proud of my beautiful bump. What is your favourite piece of maternity clothing? I have a few! Absolute must-haves for me are long T-shirts, stylish scarves and, not least, my great Nike trainers. 1 2 MY MUST-HAVES 1 “A blush gives me a fresh look – even when I haven’t slept!” Blusher from Korres “A pillow between my knees when I’m lying on my side supports my hips so I can sleep a lot better, even if my tummy is heavy.” Pillow from Rosenberg CPH A bracelet is a quick and easy way to accessorize in a feminine way.” Bracelet from Pieces “A good body oil increases the skin’s flexibility and helps prevent stretch marks.” Argan Body Oil from Kiehl’s “Trainers give my body a better position so I can handle working while standing and walking.” Trainers from Nike 2 3 4 5 3 5 4 12 LICIOUS2012-07-02T14:17:48+02:00http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=13http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=13INTERVIEW 13 LICIOUS2012-07-02T14:17:48+02:00http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=14http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=14PRETTY WOMAN Smoulder in elegant maternity clothes, and make your every-day-look stylish and fun in loose pants and soft dresses. 14 LICIOUS2012-07-02T14:17:48+02:00http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=15http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=15Teza dress DKK 399.95 NOK 399.95 SEK 459.95 EUR 49.95 GBP 45.00 Malene My jeans DKK 399.95 NOK 459.95 SEK 499.95 EUR 54.95 GBP 45.00 15 LICIOUS2012-07-02T14:17:48+02:00http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=16http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=16Daimy Jacket DKK 459.95 NOK 499.95 SEK 599.95 EUR 59.95 GBP 55.00 Ovia dress DKK 199.95 NOK 259.95 SEK 259.95 EUR 29.95 GBP 25.00 16 LICIOUS2012-07-02T14:17:48+02:00http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=17http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=17Eagle top Ovia skirt Victoria belt DKK 199.95 NOK 199.95 SEK 259.95 EUR 29.95 GBP 26.00 DKK 159.95 NOK 199.95 SEK 199.95 EUR 24.95 GBP 20.00 DKK 79.95 NOK 79.95 SEK 99.95 EUR 9.95 GBP 9.00 17 LICIOUS2012-07-02T14:17:48+02:00http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=18http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=18Maria tank top DKK 199.95 NOK 199.95 SEK 259.95 EUR 26.95 GBP 23.00 Maria tank top DKK 199.95 NOK 199.95 SEK 259.95 EUR 26.95 GBP 23.00 Freya antifit shorts DKK 359.95 NOK 359.95 SEK 399.95 EUR 44.95 GBP 40.00 Heart top Soya cardigan Jupitar jeans 18 LICIOUS DKK 129.95 NOK 129.95 SEK 129.95 EUR 14.95 GBP 12.00 DKK 359.95 NOK 399.95 SEK 399.95 EUR 49.95 GBP 45.00 DKK 359.95 NOK 399.95 SEK 459.95 EUR 44.95 GBP 42.002012-07-02T14:17:48+02:00http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=19http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=19Andrea dress DKK 399.95 NOK 399.95 SEK 399.95 EUR 44.95 GBP 42.00 19 LICIOUS2012-07-02T14:17:48+02:00http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=20http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=20Ivy dress 20 LICIOUS DKK 299.95 NOK 299.95 SEK 359.95 EUR 39.95 GBP 35.002012-07-02T14:17:48+02:00http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=21http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=21Beyonce top Eyla pant 21 LICIOUS DKK 129.95 NOK 129.95 SEK 159.95 EUR 14.95 GBP 14.00 DKK 399.95 NOK 429.95 SEK 479.95 EUR 54.95 GBP 45.002012-07-02T14:17:48+02:00http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=22http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=22Fie Pixie dress DKK 259.95 NOK 259.95 SEK 299.95 EUR 34.95 GBP 32.00 Latisha Pantyhose DKK 119.95 NOK 119.95 SEK 129.95 EUR 14.95 GBP 14.00 22 LICIOUS2012-07-02T14:17:48+02:00http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=23http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=23Join us at facebook 23 LICIOUS2012-07-02T14:17:48+02:00http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=24http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=24INTERVIEW MIRIAM PIELHAU – IN BRIEF! 37-year-old actress and TV host Miriam Pielhau has been well-known in Germany’s entertainment industry since her debut as a radio host at the age of 23. Since then she has hosted the German transmission of the Oscars and most recently, she headed the dating show “Großstadtliebe” (Big City Love). In 2008 she was diagnosed with breast cancer and forced to change her life dramatically. This life changing event is described in the book ”Fremdkörper” (My Strange Body), which was published two years after her diagnosis. Today she has fully recovered and lives together with musician Thomas Hanreich, the lead singer of the German band Stereolove. The couple is expecting their first baby. 24 LICIOUS2012-07-02T14:17:48+02:00http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=25http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=25INTERVIEW “EVERY LITTLE KICK MAKES ME SMILE” German actress and TV host Miriam Pielhau has been working in front of the camera since the age of 23, and today she is one of Germany’s most popular TV hosts. A cancer diagnosis almost made her give up the idea of becoming a mother, but fate wanted it differently. Today she is well again, happily in love – and expecting her first baby. How has your pregnancy been so far? So far my pregnancy has been a dream come true. I was very sick in 2008 and had to battle breast cancer with surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. There was absolutely no certainty that I would be able to get pregnant, so when I got the positive test results, it was one of the most exciting days of my life. Since then I feel like I’m walking on air. I’ve had no complications or unpleasant side effects. Quite the contrary – every little kick from my baby makes me smile, and I couldn’t be happier. Have you had any fears or worries? Honestly? No! Of course, the usual questions pop up in your mind: Will everything be ok? Will we turn out to be the parents that we wish to be? But in the end I trust that everything will be just fine.I’m in love – with my husband and the child that I’m expecting. And if love is the answer, nothing can go wrong! On the contrary – I’m really looking forward to the day I’ll meet this beautiful miracle. How will you be spending your maternity leave? I love to prepare our baby’s room. I’ve rearranged the furniture a thousand times, I suppose laughs. And of course I’ll take some time off to relax and prepare myself both mentally and physically for the day in the very near future when a little human being will turn our world upside down in the most beautiful way imaginable. What do you think is an absolute must-have when you are pregnant? When I feel good, I want to look good as well. I don’t want to look like a whale, although I sometimes feel like one, so stylish and comfortable clothes are imperative! “One of the most exciting days of my life was when I got the positive test results. Since then I feel like I’m walking on air.” How are you preparing for giving birth? I’m a huge fan of pregnancy yoga. I practised hatha and kundalini yoga before, and now I’m combining my techniques with special breathing and stretching for mothers-to-be. I’m curious as to when I’ll start to panic during the delivery laughs. No, honestly. I haven’t had a particularly easy life so far. As a couple, we’ve been through quite a bit, so giving birth doesn’t scare me at all. Please share with us your best styling tip! Accessories always make you look good and well-dressed. Think of scarves, belts or little items of jewellery to go with your outfits. My own favourite look is the cool and comfortable anti-fit boyfriend jeans from mama·licious combined with a shirt. That gives me a stylish, urban look while being extremely easy and casual to wear. 25 LICIOUS2012-07-02T14:17:48+02:00http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=26http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=26FASHION 3 ONE SKIRT, THREE WAYS TO LOOK STYLISH Being pregnant doesn’t mean you can’t keep up with the trends and feel fashionable.

Go for the empire waist! This beautiful silhouette gathers under the breast and falls loosely to the hip. The empire waist also put the focus on the arms and shoulders, places where pregnancy weight does not as often manifest itself.

Clutch from Repetto Wedges from Ahler Necklace from Pieces Bracelets from Pandora Luna Pintuc skirt from mama·licious Spangled top from mama·licious PARTYTIME One of the easiest ways to add dimension and flare to an otherwise simple ensemble is to put on your favorite accessories and jewelry. With a coloured scarf, a bunch of Indian bangles, a chain belt or a hat you can quickly change your look – even if you have not changed your clothes! TIME OFF A heel visually lengthens your silhouette and, in turn, balances out your tummy-enhanced proportion. Cut the stilettos and go for wedges instead. They distribute the weight better and are more comfortable when walking. However, it is not a good idea to wear high heels on a daily basis, since that might result in aching feet and back because of your increased weight. TIP!

However, with a baby in the house competing for your attention, it is easy to forget the small sign that the two of you have chosen one another. So remember to give your loved one a kiss – or several! SHARE YOUR MEALS Mealtimes offer an obvious opportunity to have a conversation about issues small and large. However, when the baby’s routines turn our daily schedules upside down, we sometimes tend to forget. Nevertheless it pays off to insist that you enjoy at least one daily meal together. In this way you do not lose touch with each other’s joys and worries. Remember to take short breaks every day, and take time out for love and bonding. ENJOY YOUR BABY Gentle massage increases your baby´s bodily sensations – and the bond between you. Baby massage oil from The Organic Pharmacy The precious time with your baby will never return so every second should be enjoyed to the fullest. However, that is easier said than done when you are tired out and the baby is crying. It may be a good idea to take short breaks in your daily routines, where you can focus on bonding and sharing precious moments with your newborn. BABY MASSAGE When you massage your baby with gentle strokes, it intensifies your bonding. Furthermore, the massage stimulates your baby’s development of bodily sensations and it releases endorphins that give her an immediate feeling of joy. SING LULLABIES TO YOUR CHILD Let your evening ritual be a peaceful time for you and your child. Cradle from Leander The young infant has listened to your voice for her entire life, also while in the womb. Hence your voice is associated with a sense of calm and security. Singing a lullaby at bedtime is a peaceful evening ritual and a good way to end the day. It signals that now it is time to go to sleep. The early establishment of a bedtime ritual may prove advantageous to you later on. WASHING AND DRESSING TIME Make the most of the time you spend with your baby. Eye contact, comforting sounds, and the natural physical contact contribute to building a close bond between the two of you. The better you become at reading your baby’s signals, the quicker you will be able to respond when he or she feels insecure, frustrated, or sad – and in other situations too. 28 LICIOUS2012-07-02T14:17:48+02:00http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=29http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=29GUIDE Yoga is an ideal exercise for new mothers who need to get back into shape. See more at vibekeklementsen.com GET BACK INTO SHAPE A pregnancy is a tribute to your femininity, but also a challenge to your body. Your abdominal muscles and the floor of your pelvis have been working overtime, and you will probably not be able to work out at the same pace as before your pregnancy. Hence it requires an extra effort to get your physique back in shape. Even so, bear in mind that a little exercise is better than none at all. PILATES Pilates is a gentle type of exercise that strengthens the joints in your arms, legs, and spine, while also training the floor of your pelvis and your abdominal muscles. For these reasons Pilates is ideal for new mothers, who need a gentle start and would like to pace their exercises in a way that matches their energy level. photographer nicki twang Long hikes require good shoes. Sneakers from Pieces YOGA This ancient Indian exercise is not only useful to women who are preparing their body to give birth. It is also beneficial when you need to get back into shape after your baby is born. Yoga strengthens the floor of the pelvis, trains your breathing, and stimulates the body’s muscles and agility, enabling it to recover its former shape and suppleness. GO FOR A WALK Some tools can be used at home in your living room. Moreover, when not in use they are also decorative. Pilates ball from Karmameju The effect of going for a walk with the pram should not be underestimated. Try to vary your pace and take a different route every day for variety. A stop watch can also encourage you, since it shows that you gradually improve your physical fitness. Bring your baby along when you visit your female friends. Moses basket from Snooze Baby REMEMBER YOURSELF Since you are constantly changing nappies, preparing feeding bottles, and getting up in the middle of the night, you are the last person to get your natural share of sleep and socialising with other adults. As a new mother the most wonderful thing is obviously to spend time with your child, but you will also need to take time out to recharge and take care of your old self. After a long night with a restless baby, it will do you good to take a nap. Throw from Rosenberg CPH MINDFULNESS Do you find it difficult to settle down when your baby takes a nap or do you sometimes need to refocus in the midst of all the overwhelming thoughts about your new role as a mother? Mindfulness can be the answer! This kind of meditation improves your attentive presence and helps you sense what you really feel. You can download a mindfulness guide app on your smartphone. A nice long bath gives you a quiet moment without disturbances.Pomegranate Cleansing Scrub from Korres FIND YOUR PROJECT Perhaps you love cooking, doing sports, sewing or reading? Remember all the things that make you happy, also if you might think it is difficult to find time for hobbies. Every time you enjoy activities that are completely your own, you find energy which will also be beneficial to your baby. NURTURE YOUR FRIENDSHIPS Previously you could enjoy spontaneous dinners and going shopping on short notice. Naturally that time will return, but just after the baby is born, socialising with your female friends might be scaled down. Remember your friends anyway, and enjoy the fact that they are only a phone call away. If you are so lucky to know women who are in the same situation as you, it might be a good idea to agree to meet regularly – and bring the babies. 29 LICIOUS2012-07-02T14:17:48+02:00http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=30http://ipaper.bestseller.com/mamalicious/LIcious412/?Page=30SHOPPING BEAUTIFUL BABY BAGS 2 4 1 The contents of your bag are very different before and after childbirth.
