I Hate Exercise

September 20, 2025

I hate exercise. But I’ve started walking, not for weight loss, not for stats, just because my body needs something. No plans, no pressure, no guilt. Some days I go. Some days I don’t. But I’m done chasing perfection. This is just me, moving. That’s all it needs to be.

Hi, I’m Jo Leggiero
about me

Hi, I’m Jo Leggiero

Hi, I’m Jo Leggiero, founder of Mother Dragon. Thanks for visiting my store. Whether you are shopping for yourself (congratulations!) or someone else, I hope my curated collection of preloved maternity clothes gives you the opportunity to rewear and recycle a range of quality secondhand maternity clothes. Most importantly, I hope shopping at Mother Dragon gives confidence and comfort as you style yourself during your pregnancy. There is nothing more fierce than a woman who loves what she is wearing, and that should be no different when you are maternity fashion. Jo @ Mother Dragon

I'm incredibly proud to share that Mother Dragon has won the @mumsandtots Best Sustainable Service/Product award for 2025 🎉

A huge thank you to everyone who voted and continues to support Mother Dragon. I love seeing sustainable shopping becoming the norm but more importantly, it is about women feeling good in their bodies and clothes, regardless of what stage of life we are in. And to do it all sustainably has always been the heart of Mother Dragon. 

Here's to celebrating motherhood with style and intention!

I hate exercise.

In my latest blog post, I'm writing about exercise and jealousy. 
I know Mother Dragon Members and Whatsapp peeps have been a part of this conversation already but I've decided to share this piece with the entire Mother Dragon community. 
I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Just dropped! 🐆
Say hello (again) to a fan favorite! This Seraphine dress is the only new piece dropping this week and she’s worth it.

Reimagined over the years in countless prints and shades (including maternity + nursing-friendly versions), it’s no surprise this one keeps coming back. Comfortable, stylish and one of Mother Dragon's best sellers.

That’s a wrap on the @motherdragon.ie x @lovelythingsbylaura 
pop-up 🎉

A huge thank you to Laura for sharing her beautiful space and to everyone who came to visit. I’m especially grateful to the online customers I finally got to meet in person and to the new faces who took the time to discover all the lovely things Laura has to offer.

From quality preloved pieces to conscious, sustainable shopping, this pop-up was a celebration of thoughtful choices and the power of local Irish businesses.

Thank you for supporting small, for choosing better, and for being part of something meaningful.

When jeans won't do. 
These Isabella Oliver stripe stretch style jeans are for those who want more than a pair of legging and something different to a traditional denim jean. 

These stylish trousers feature an under the bump waistband, cropped leg with a rolled hem, five pockets and a relaxed style leg.

Style with a white t-shirt and sandals for a nautical look or add a comfy knitted jumper and sneakers for a cosy finish. These striped stretch jean style jeans will give you endless options in your maternity wardrobe.
