Feel Sexy During Pregnancy - No circus tents please

Some people think that the word sexy and pregnancy do not belong together.  In fact, many men say that a woman is her sexiest and many beautiful when she is pregnant!  Your expanding belly is proof of their potency, your boobs will be bigger and fuller, your skin may look healthier, wrinkles will fill in.... its all one big positive for many men.

But how do you go about feeling and dressing sexy when your belly is expanding and your body is going through so many changes? So many women feel unattractive when they are pregnant, but they don’t have to. The great news is that the days of the maternity tent dress are over! Today’s maternity wear is hip, trendy and yes, even sexy! Shop around; there is plenty of good stuff around

Just wearing your husband's clothes may be economical  - and they may fit fine over your expanding belly -- but they will not have a good fit everywhere. Buying bigger sizes in regular clothes is also never a great idea if you want to feel good about yourself.

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 colours 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, fisherman's pants for example.

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 colours.

Chances are you will probably need several different bra sizes throughout your pregnancy. No matter which type of bra you choose, fit is essential. 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!

So look great and feel sexy through your pregnancy!
