PHOTOS Meet Rosie Pope from ‘Pregnant in Heels?’

London-born entrepreneur Rosie Pope is the creator and designer of the renowned fashion line, Rosie Pope Maternity. She is also the creator and teacher of MomPrep, which helps expecting and new moms figure out solutions to the challenges of motherhood. From how to find the best nanny, to selecting the right fitness class and everything in between, Pope’s maternity concierge service has helped countless women when they needed it the most.

Young Pope excelled as a ballet dancer with The London Contemporary School of Dance. She moved to New York City at the age of 18 to embark on a modeling career that lead her to grace the pages of Italian Vogue and pose for photographer Steven Miesel. She then turned her sights to academics and enrolled in Columbia University on a Presidential Scholarship to study neuroscience.

In 2008, Pope birthed the idea for Rosie Pope Maternity after simply finding nowhere she could shop for fashionable clothing during her own pregnancy. Her philosophy is for women everywhere to celebrate this time in their lives with fashions that are worthy of photographing and remembering for years to come. In 2010, having already established herself as the trusted guru for stylish mothers everywhere—including Hollywood elite—the idea to offer classes through MomPrep was “born.” Today, she is regularly sought after by the media for her advice on style for moms, and lives happily in New York City with her all-American husband, Daron, and her two sons, J.R. and Wells.

Being a father of a young girl myself and more relative to this post the husband of a beautiful wife who was once pregnant with said child I can certainly understand and appreciate how Rosie’s services would be in demand.  I KNOW my wife would have loved her clothes and I know her advice and tutoring would have been extremely helpful during such an exciting, stressful and all together new experience in our lives.

We find out in Pregnant in Heels Season One, that before Rosie married Daron, she was a baroness! Not only is she an expert in all things maternity, she also helps one of her clients but on a British tea (complete with spotted d!ck) to ask Lord Edgar Wedgwood to be her baby’s godfather.

On the show, Rosie also documents her struggle with IVF. Even though she’s a maternity expert, she and her husband struggle with fertility issues. We watch Rosie inject herself and get emotionally challenging news on camera that she may or may not be pregnant.  SPOILER ALERT: Rosie’s fertility treatments did work and she gave birth to a health baby boy named Wellington “Wells” Reade on February 5, 2011.
