Once a woman learns she’s expecting, shopping quickly becomes all about the baby.

But after a difficult first pregnancy, Karla Trotman, began researching ways to enhance the experience for expectant moms.

The result? A much more comfortable second pregnancy for Trotman — and the launch of Belly Button Boutique, a one-stop online shop for moms, both before and after baby arrives.

From pregnancy pillows and stretch mark cream to nursing pads and C-section panties, the site focuses on practical items in categories like nausea & heartburn, sleeping and labor.

The actress, 29, recently said she finds this pregnancy “less overwhelming and less daunting, for sure.”

“You accept that you’re going to make mistakes, that you’re going to try your hardest and you’ll love them with your everything,” explains Alba. “That’s all you can do.”

The Beckhams are thinking pink.

The bundle of joy David and Victoria expect this July is a baby girl, PEOPLE has confirmed.

The soccer star, 35, announced the news Friday afternoon at an L.A. Galaxy fan luncheon, ESPN reports.

“Obviously, we’re very lucky to be expecting again, and this is the first time I’m going to say it: It’s a little girl,” Beckham shared.

“We’re still in shock. Obviously, having three boys, you kind of expect another one, so finding out a little girl is in there is surprising, but, obviously, we are over the moon,” he added. “Our three boys are happy and excited, and Victoria is doing well.”
