Some people think that the word sexy and pregnancy do not belong
together. I have to disagree. In fact, I have hear many men say
that a woman is her sexiest and most beautiful when she is
pregnant!
So, how do you go about feeling sexy when your belly is
expanding and your body is going through so many changes? So
many women tell me they feel unattractive when they are
pregnant, but they don't have to!
The good news is that the days of the maternity tent dress are
over! Today's maternity wear is hip, trendy and yes, even sexy!

Code=M The designers have brilliantly combined comfort and
fashion in clothing that you can start wearing as soon as you
discover you are pregnant right on through post-partum and
beyond.
Just wearing your husband clothes may be economical - and they
may fit fine over your expanding belly -- but they will not have
a good fit everywhere else! Buying bigger sizes in regular
clothes is also never a great idea if you want to feel good
about yourself. I'm sorry to say you will just look bigger and
feel frumpy.
There are several "basics" that every woman should have when she
is pregnant. For your first pieces, try to stick with basics
that will go with everything. A couple of good pairs of pants,
jeans or skirts are a good place to start (your lifestyle will
determine which is best for you). Add a top or two and you are
on your way! Then, as you "grow", add tops in fashionable prints
and colors that will mix and match with your basics, giving you
fresh new looks, as well an occasional, much needed,
psychological boost. If you are really keen, splurge on some
"not-so-practical" tops or bottoms to round out your maternity
wardrobe. Remember, many of today's styles can be worn after
baby too!
If you cannot afford a whole new wardrobe, or even if you can
and don't want to spend the money, you need to get yourself at
least a couple of basics and one outfit that makes you feel
beautiful and sexy -- there is no price for the way an outfit
like this will make you feel!
Don't forget your underwear! If your underwear binds you are not
going to feel comfortable. There are so many great styles
available now! And if you're a thong wearer, there's no reason
to stop now. Maternity thongs, as well as the bikinis and
briefs, are available in a wide variety of fabrics and colors.
Chances are you will probably require several different bra
sizes throughout your pregnancy. No matter which type of bra you
choose, fit is important. There should be room for expansion
around the rib cage and room for expansion in the cup, but not
so much that the bra does not provide adequate support. Have fun
with your maternity and nursing bras -- there are so many
options available!
There are also some great skin care products available now.
Pamper yourself with some luxurious creams or body wash! Take
some time out for you -- you deserve it!
Remember, when you feel good, you look great -- even sexy!
