I love beauty products, lotions, and smelling pretty and it was no different when I was pregnant, but the most important part of any pregnant woman’s beauty regime is to moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! I cannot stress this enough! While some stretch marks are hormonal and hereditary, others can be prevented and you will feel much more comfortable.

Here’s an excerpt from the book that will help you take advantage of Joely’s quote:

POP, THEN SHOP!
When you do finally pop, you’ll be MORE than ready to shop till youdrop! When you head out on your spree, use your pre-pregnancy sizing asa general maternity fit guide, keeping in mind that there isn’t a wholelot of consistency in sizing among maternity designers. You may be anextra-small in one brand’s tees, but large in another’s. Your best bet:Spend some time in the fitting room to assess what works for you. Agreat maternity store should also have those “fake” bellies that youcan Velcro around your existing “new” belly so you can see if thatshirt you have your eye on will fit in month nine! Those strap-onbellies (yep, strap-on!) are very useful and hey, it’s a fun thing tovisualize what’s to come while attempting to master your first realmaternity wardrobe purchase. Just do it…you’ll thank me later!

Once you actually LOOK pregnant, don’t be afraid to take risks—you cancertainly pull it off, maternity momma! Go for fitted tops in boldcolors, fun prints, and flattering cuts to create looks that are cool,hip, and totally you. Stick with body-hugging shapes. Why? Because agreat fit will accentuate your bump…while will then—hooray!—create theillusion of a more slender you everywhere else.

Fortunately for us Gen-Xers, pregnancy doesn’t mean the end of style, sensuality, and sexiness- my ‘maternity’ look didn’t stray too far from my skinny-bitch look.  I shopped in two maternity stores and then stayed with my regular haunts… I sashayed my way through twenty glorious months and I have two gorgeous girl-flavored children to prove it.  Now back to the crunches!
