Motherhood, shared with warmth.
There is something extraordinary about the journey into motherhood. From the first thoughts of starting a family to the flutter of tiny kicks, the anticipation of meeting your baby and the beautiful, sometimes overwhelming moments that follow, it is a journey filled with love, discovery and change.
At Preggy Love, we believe every chapter deserves to be celebrated, understood and supported.
Created with Australian women and families in mind, Preggy Love is a beautiful little corner of the internet dedicated to pregnancy, babies, motherhood and everything in between. A place to find thoughtful stories, helpful information, genuine perspectives and those special little discoveries that make the journey even more memorable.
We bring together the voices of mothers, experienced contributors and women with professional backgrounds who each have something meaningful to share. From personal experiences and heartfelt reflections to carefully researched articles and practical guidance, our aim is to offer a thoughtful balance of knowledge, inspiration and real-life motherhood.
Because no two journeys into motherhood are ever quite the same.
A collection of stories, experiences and beautiful discoveries
Preggy Love is about more than preparing for a baby. It is about embracing the moments, navigating the unknown and finding beauty in the everyday.
Within our pages, you will discover honest conversations about pregnancy and parenting, useful advice for growing families, inspiration for creating beautiful spaces for little ones and carefully selected baby products and finds that feel a little different, a little more thoughtful and a little more special.
We have a particular love for discovering unique baby essentials, beautiful gifts, clever products and lovely Australian brands that bring something wonderful to family life. Not simply because they are beautiful, but because they have a story, a purpose or a special quality worth sharing.
Different voices, connected by motherhood
One of the loveliest things about Preggy Love is the different perspectives that come together here.
Our original contributors each bring their own experiences, interests and professional knowledge to these pages. Some share the wisdom gained through raising their own children, while others offer insights informed by their work supporting women, babies and families.
Together, these voices create a collection of stories and information that feels personal, considered and reassuring.
We believe there is comfort in hearing another mother’s story, confidence in having access to reliable information and something truly special about women sharing what they have learned along the way.
Made with love, for the journey ahead
Whether you are dreaming of becoming a mother, counting down the weeks until your baby arrives, navigating life with a newborn or finding your feet in the wonderful world of parenting, we hope Preggy Love feels like a place you can return to.
Some days, you might come looking for answers. Other days, a little inspiration, a beautiful discovery or simply the reassurance that someone else has been there too.
Whatever brings you here, we are so glad you found us.
Preggy Love. For the little beginnings, the big feelings and all the love in between.

Natalie Robinson
A surfer on the weekends and a lawyer through the week, I am Natalie, also a pregnant mom to be. They say pregnancy is the most beautiful thing a woman experiences, but in reality, it is a lot of changes and a lot of ‘accepting new things’.
Your body changes, your hormones are out of control, your clothes don’t fit, you can’t do a few things that you loved to do. I felt the same, will I be able to surf, how soon can I work again, will it ever be the same? The answer to the last question, it won’t ever be the same but it will be worth it, yes you can do the things you loved once again, you just need to deal with this transition.
I have the most supporting partner, caring family and friends and an amazing workplace, which makes this journey easy and worth it. I did a lot of mediation, yoga and took therapy to cope with my pregnancy.
Through my blogs I want to reach out to women and tell them it s ok to be confused, it is ok to feel ugly, it is ok to break down but then you have to get and deal with it, just like I did. So, here’s to all the strong women out there, I hope my writing steers you in the right direction and makes you feel even slightly better and more equipped to take on this journey. Good luck you pregnant mommas-to be, let’s do this!!

Janet Wang
A psychologist by education, I didn’t actually end up pursuing a career in that. What I found therapeutic in my early 20s were babies. I just felt the aura and energy that they exuded (even while crying or pooping) could just heal anyone.
Infact, I ended up doing things that involved babies, seminars, workshops, content creation, new products in the market, I knew it all. I am a new mum myself. Gave birth to most beautiful baby girl less than 3 months ago(Jan 2021).
I’ll be honest, I was one of those pregnant women and new mums who wanted to follow everything by the book, so if there is any article that has been published, it has been read by me. Right from the sex positions, to eating the right things to the right baby accessories, I did it all. Not only did I follow them I improvised on them.
As someone who has read almost every pregnancy related web page & visited multiple gynaecologists for the past year in the attempt to get pregnant, through my articles and research I want to reach out to the women who are trying to be mothers and give them hope and let them know, we are in this together.
Some questions may seem silly to you but hey ask them. For over protective and extra cautious mothers out there, I just want to tell you that you are doing your best, it’s okay to take it easy and let your hair down.
I know how disheartened one gets when they feel they are failing at being good mothers, so I just want you to know: you are strong, powerful women, and you are not alone. Hope my writing motivates you and makes the entire journey a pleasant one.

Christina McCarthy
A freelance writer and mum to 2-year-old Phoebe, and 11 year old Damien. I married my husband 15 years go & conceived my first child 4 years after marriage. I have been living in Los Angeles since the past 40 years.
As someone who had PCOS and ended up getting Gestational Diabetes during my first pregnancy & went on to having another child 9 years later, I feel it is super important that mothers around the globe learn from my experiences. If I am able to shed even a little bit of light on issues that mums-to-be or mums all over are facing through my stories, I would consider myself blessed.
Started my career as a content marketing specialist and my pregnancies were very special to me, didn’t want to give up either aspect of my life so I chose to write about pregnancy, best of both worlds.
In my free time you will find me laying at beach and soaking up the sun while my babies splash around. A hands-on person, I often do a lot of DIY stuff and incorporated a that into my food and lifestyle while I was pregnant. Hope to be a part of your journey through my blogs.
