If you are not aware that American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that pregnant women get a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise daily, put down those chips, turn off the TV, and move slowly off the couch. Jakfish, a mom-owned, Vermont clothing company is now making waves in the maternity, apparel, and exercise industries, by producing high performance clothing specially designed for the ever-changing pregnant body. All Jakfish products are made in Vermont and are available in limitedboutique stores including Bebop Baby Shop in Essex and online at www.jakfish.com.

The concept of Jakfish was created in 2005 by Stephanie Teleen, a mother of two, who wanted to continue her active lifestyle throughout her pregnancies. After many fruitless searches for appropriately fitting clothing made with the kind of performance fabrics Stephanie was accustomed to in her pre-pregnancy clothes, she made the decision to create her own line of maternity clothing to fill the void.

All Jakfish clothing is specifically designed to fit women throughout the ever-changing stages of pregnancy, while retaining all of the characteristics active people expect from exceptional performance clothing. Studies show that women who do a moderate amount of exercise during pregnancy generally feel better throughout the pregnancy, have more stamina during labor and may even recover more quickly after childbirth. With this thought in mind, Jakfish clothing is designed to be versatile enough to be worn in the mountains, by the ocean and at the gym. Jakfish joins a long list of innovative Vermont companies known for their quality products in the outdoor industry.
