Pregnancy Piercings
These cute and sassy tanks are perfect for the weather we've been having. Oh, and they're hot all on their own, too. With Sex-Ed Dropout on your chest in pink rhinestuds, well... you're definitely pulling off pregnancy with attitude.
And the Pregnancy Piercings TM have been the single best seller we have ever had. They are literally flying out the door every single day. And with good reason.
Gone are the days when you either removed your piercing at the threat of it growing in or lived with stretching or even ragged tearing (eek!) of your piercing. These little babies help you keep your navel piercing through the entire pregnancy, and are positively invaluable. You won't just buy one, you'll buy two and then send the link to your friends!
**Improved Customer Service!**
We're so excited about this one we put it in red! Effective tomorrow, July 1st, we have new employees, new hours, and best of all FULL PHONE SUPPORT! Yay!
If you've tried to call us in the past 2-3 months, you've likely heard our message talking about our growth and apologizing for not catching your call. That's if the voicemail box wasn't already full. I was personally sickened that we were missing so many calls. And we had some pretty frustrated customers. But I wanted to take the time to find the perfect solution and personnel fit for our company. And I believe I did.
We have several new employees who've recently been taking a crash course in the intricacies of our business, and who are solely dedicated to serving you, our customers. We have a new 800 number attached to an entirely new phone system, to better handle your calls. And possibly best of all, new extended office hours. Our new hours are 8:30am-9:00pm EST Monday through Friday, and 10:00am-3:00pm EST on Saturdays.
If you're more comfortable ordering over the phone, order away! If you have a question about a product, or need an RMA number, feel free! But take it easy on them at first, ladies... Remember that they are new. :)
Our new 800 number is all over the site and here:

Should You Use a Sling or Front Carrier for Your Newborn?
Why slings are better, for you and baby, than popular front carriers
by
Jessica Hudson, Owner/Designer of Eva Lillian Maternity
Did you know, evidence has been found at ancient dig sites to prove that the oldest human invention is not the wheel, but the sling? This means that the first human inventor was almost definitely a woman. Women have known for literally millions of years, in every continent in the world, the convenience, comfort, and versatility of the sling.
Research has shown that the popular front carriers are not good for the development of a newborns back, hips and pelvis. In this position, all their body weight is compressed onto the base of a spine that is not yet ready to bear this weight. And the legs are held open at an unnatural angle, possibly causing problems with pelvic alignment and future walking.
A sling, however, holds a baby in a very similar position to what they held in the womb. Their weight is distributed across the entire body, as they lay curled in the sling. Then, as they grow older they are able to assume as many as five or more positions in the sling, including comfortable and discreet breastfeeding. And you are able to continue using most slings up to an amazing 40 pounds, making it the most versatile baby carrier there is.
You can't even use most front carriers until 8 pounds and by about 12 pounds they absolutely kill your back. A slings weight is distributed across your entire back and shoulder, making it the most comfortable carrier available. I was easily still slinging my two year old son through my eighth month of pregnancy. Plus, it is the only way to carry twins. You can carry both newborns together in one sling, as they are used to from the womb, then later each in their own.
Plus, slings are better for your back. Rather than placing the full brunt of baby's weight on your upper back, the sling evenly distributes the weight across your entire back, shoulder, and upper arm. This is why front carriers can carry up to about 20 pounds, but slings are usually good for 40 pounds.
The Eva Lillian Maternity signature slings are the best of all worlds. They are incredibly functional and uncommonly beautiful.
