Tips for pregnant bingo lovers on staying cool and stylish

Pregnant ladies have plenty of choice when it comes to spending their online bingo winnings on maternity wear

Being pregnant in this warm weather can be a bit of a pain, especially if you are trying to relax and play your favourite online bingo game in those last few weeks before your little one arrives.

But fear not ladies, it is possible to keep cool and stay fashionable even with a baby bump.

It's not like when your mum was pregnant with you, when there was little choice and style didn't seem to be a consideration for maternity wear. These days loads of high street shops offer maternity ranges to suit various budgets.

New Look, Topshop, H&M and Dorothy Perkins are just some of the shops where expectant ladies can spend the money they have earned from online bingo prizes.

"Women now can look stylish when they are pregnant. The trends on the catwalk are filtering through into maternity ranges, which is excellent, and the prices are very, very competitive," says Sally Ann Carroll, style editor at Prima Baby magazine.

"The best for style is to go for a maxi dress. Angelina Jolie wore maxi dresses throughout her whole pregnancy. The high street is bursting with maxi dresses."

Sally suggests that ladies go for cotton in warm weather, explaining that the choice of fabric is really important.

"Because you are pregnant you're hot anyway because you have got more blood circulating," she explains.

It's really easy to dress a maxi dress up or down with the right accessories, Sally says.

"They can be teamed with a little shrug and flat sandals," she suggests.

Again, whatever budget you're working with, there are affordable shoes, necklaces, bangles and earrings for you to spend your online bingo cash on.

What's more, with internet shopping you can find what you want to buy while playing bingo games online, rather than tiring yourself out by spending hours at the shops.

If your pregnancy is set to run into the autumn months, Sally suggests investing in a sequinned jacket, as these are set to be a major trend in the coming months.
