Antonia had the following to say about modern day maternity fashion;

Women these days bravely display their swelling bellies – it’s finally possible to be sexy, confident and with child! Dressing during pregnancy is exciting and not the fashion void it once was.

Antonia also gives the following tips on dressing during pregnancy:

1. Stretchy fabrics are comfortable and if you choose the right cut they can be really flattering too.
2. Tops come in all lengths – try layering shorter pieces over long ones
3. Empire line cuts are feminine, comfortable and perfect for pregnancy
4. If you’re buying new pieces, buy them one size up, I become rounder all over and I’m always surprised by how big my tummy gets!
5. It’s worthwhile buying basic made-for-maternity pieces early on. A pair of pants, tights and a few T-shirts or shirts are a good investment
6. A wrap dress will see you through your pregnancy and will provide easy access for breastfeeding
7. Shell tops are very cute, very comfortable and everywhere right now.

I had my son in late august so I wore strechy cami’s that showed of my belly almost the whole summer. And instead of jeans I wore Flare like pants. They made me look even smaller than I already was.

I dont know if my message will pass, but something just hit me, because of the interview with Russel Crown and Nicole. Is there any interview where Nicole’s sister talks about being mother again? Because I tought maybe, just maybe, she could be expecting a baby for Nicole, would I be too off speculating this?

It’s not Nicole’s, well I seriously doubt it is. For one surrogacy is almost impossible here in Australia. Also Antonia recently did a TV show here about babies and said she and her husband had been trying for a while for number 4.
