MARYNA LINCHUK, MODEL, LOS ANGELES AND NEW YORK

What has been the most exciting parts of your pregnancy?

Definitely the little baby kicks , it’s like a real entertainment  trying to figure out which part is she kicking with!

The most difficult or unexpected?

My morning  sickness lasted trough my entire pregnancy so that’s been pretty tough.

You have had the most amazing pregnancy style through your pregnancy! What has been some of your favorite pieces to wear?

Did you give at all into maternity wardrobe though?

I honestly did not buy one maternity piece of clothing other than my work-out leggings that I found at at Pea in a Pod and someone gifted me a dress from BIANCA BALTI maternity collection. They super nice,  high-end and beautiful.

Could you share any style tips?

Well for merit  definitely worked to keepmy legs out so you don’t look too covered and big.

Also tight stretchy dresses are the most comfortable. Long or short and they always look chic,  you can dress it up or down.

You have always been quite active and athletic, how have you kept in shape during your pregnancy?

That was very tricky for me because in my regular life I’m extremely active and I pretty much do every sport , so I always though when I get pregnant I will be one if these moms at the gym, but as I mentioned before,  my morning sickness were so strong that I had to give up on trying to work out after couple of months and surrender and enjoy my pregnancy , but I did do yoga the whole time and walked around 5 miles a day. As for diet I’ve been always a healthy eater and all my cravings have been very healthy , all mostly plant based , fruits and veggies and of course I had to add som  nutrition of the baby development , such as proteins , bone broths etc

Do you feel any pressure to stay in shape and get your body back after baby?

Of course pressure is definitely  on , but I will at least give myself couple of months to enjoy motherhood before fully coming back to work and work out routine

You never looked so Glowy, what has been your diet?

Pregnancy glow they say:)  as I mentioned before, my diet has been  super healthy , mostly plant based with some healthy proteins , and I really try to avoid anything that is not for my and my babys health benefit , but of course occasional French fries or ice cream for the soul is ok:)

You have always been into clean and green beauty, what were your top 5 beauty products during your pregnancy?

Any addresses in LA that you would like to share? SPA, Gym, etc?

You moved from NYC to LA during your pregnancy, how did it affect your routine?

I did! My baby room and everything else has been ready for a while! Everything we got is completely toxic free and chemicals free which was really important factor in choosing them.

You had quite amazing baby shower, can you tell you more about it? What was the best part?

Honestly didn’t plan on such a big production baby shower , but when I ask my friend Erica to do it she took it really seriously and organized the cutest shower ! We had a yoga and meditation class to start with, then we made cakes with LADUREE which was so fun and cute , then we had lunch picnic and pool time!

What was on the top of your Babyshower Gift List?

It’s really hard to choose, but if I had to chose, getting little baby newborn clothes is the cutest thing! Also I was very exited about my ELVIE pump and my Cybex stroller.
