New Mums Go to the Baby Show - Win One of Two Pairs of Tickets to London's Baby Show 2015

There are certain things you just must do when you are pregnant, especially when expecting for the first time; for me, one of those things was attending the Baby Show. Being a Londoner, I of course went to the London Baby Show. I dragged husband along, and we spent the whole day visiting every stall.

I had two main priorities when attending. One was to visit all of the reusable nappies and pick a brand, and two, to push around ALL of the buggies and pick a brand. I didn't stick with either of the brands I picked that day, but it is invaluable in bringing brands to life, and getting your grey matter ticking. I was relatively early on in my pregnancy though, and there is so much to consider as your tastes evolve. I did make some purchases on the day though, and sometimes things you don't see on the highstreet. Plus, spending the day surrounded in lots of ladies with bumps, has a special quality about it.

I wish I could share some photos from 2010 when I last went to The Baby Show, but either they are on an old phone, or on my old broken laptop. I'll have to make new memories when I attend this year - so far without a bump. I will however be attending with someone who is pregnant, in the hope that it just might be contagious LOL!

The Baby Show with MadeForMums is the UK’s leading pregnancy and parenting event, and will be returning to:

ExCeL London 

from 

20th to 22nd February 2015. 

However, it's also on:

The Show is a must-attend event for new and expectant parents providing everything needed for bump, baby and you including all of the essentials, alongside the latest, innovative products and not-on-the high street brands.  

This year it will incorporate The Work & Family Show, which is dedicated to providing expert advice, solutions and ideas for managing work and family life, and helping to kick start careers after having a family.
