Situation vs Determination:
Affordable maternity wear thanks to a child with special needs

One mother's determination has created an affordable maternity store to allow her to give her Autistic son the best of care.

Patrick is 4 and has been diagnosed with ASD (High Functioning Autism). To enable him to start school in 2010, he requires upto 20 hours of early intervention services per week. With so much time taken up with appointments, mum, Kath Shipham, was faced with the reality of caring for a special needs child and no longer being able to work full time.

Kath knew she had to find a way to earn an income to help support her young family while still providing the care that Patrick required. Being a new mum she also realised that maternity and breastfeeding clothing can be expensive at a time when most people are on a limited budget.

Combining her need to work with her desire to provide other mums with affordable breastfeeding and maternity wear and accessories, Kath created Mums 2 Be.

Mums 2 Be stock a large range of Australian made products including their signature item being full length maternity leggings. The Mums 2 Be leggings are a must have in any maternity wardrobe and the high quality means they will be worn long past bub being born. RRP is $19.95 and with the leggings being available online 24/7 and in a range of sizes, they provide the perfect solution for every maternity or breastfeeding wardrobe.

Mums 2 Be pride itself on being an online store that provides name brand Australian products, often at below normal retail prices.
