Brunch so good it should count as self-care.

Let’s be real: brunch is a personality, not a meal. And during your second trimester, when your body’s glowing, growing, and possibly craving a three-hour nap by 10am, brunch becomes essential therapy.

But this isn’t about limp toast and sad muesli. This is about heroic meals that feed your bump and your soul. Think: dishes you can actually make without crying, flavours that deliver joy in every bite, and the kind of brunches that make your partner ask, "Is this a café or are you just pregnant and powerful?"

“Because your cravings deserve applause, not judgment.”

The Bump Brunch Rulebook

• Fast: You want it now, not next Tuesday.
• Filling: No post-brunch regret-snacking here.
• Flexible: Needs to work with what’s in your fridge and your mood.
• Fabulous: You are still that girl — with extra belly flair.
