Go Belly Go: Due Date Maternity Necklace
Wednesday, February 18, 2009 Posted by Felicia
I remember when I was pregnant being so excited to start "showing"! I mean, no one really knows unless you tell them until they can see your belly. I also remember that awkward stage when I first started to "show", but you couldn't quite be sure! I didn't want people to think I was just gaining weight, so I tried to wear the most form fitting shirts I could find!
Tell Go Graham Go readers a little bit about yourself :
I am a native Oregonian where the beaches, mountains, desert and city will keep me here forever. I used to be in sales and then jewelry design. My husband and I have a 15 month old daughter who keeps me super busy. Because I adore being a Mom, I also needed to include myself in the maternity/children's industry. I love it!! It is full of inspirational mom's that know what it takes to be a mom, wife and business owner.
How did Go Belly Go get started and where did the name come from?
I got the idea for Go Belly Go when a good friend became pregnant, I made her a "Due In October" necklace. Turns out my daughter was born on the same day as her son 1 year later! Soon after my first piece I started having people order them for friends and it grew from there. I named Go Belly Go, because that is what it my product stands for, cheering on that belly!
What has been the best thing about starting the Go Belly Go company?
My favorite thing about my company is that there is a new baby behind each and every necklace. I am exposed to so many proud and excited people. I also appreciate and feel very blessed that I am able to stay home with my kiddo while spreading the prego cheer.
What are your future plans for Go Belly Go?
I would just like to see GBG become a choice for every pregnant mama.
Anything else you would like to share?
Just that this is such a great industry to be a part of, there are so many creative and ingenious products out there, with hard working and dedicated people behind them. I value being a part of it and hope that GBG keeps involved for a very long time.
This giveaway has ended! Congratulations to shydub!

Here is my friend, Jessica, modeling her new Go Belly Go Necklace! She is due in April!
As you can tell from the photo, it is such a simple and elegant piece! You can wear it with absolutely anything and dress it up or down! Jessica has been wearing hers every day since the day she got it and loves it! It also comes in the cutest silver tin packaging which makes it perfect for gift giving!
Go Belly Go retails for $48 and $51 if you would like gift wrapping! What an excellent gift this would make for a best friend or sister who is a first time mom! Go Belly Go will be a cherished heirloom!
