Pregnant women often times feel that they look ugly and huge so they try to hide their bodies in ill fitting and loose clothing. On top of that the pregnancy symptoms like morning sickness, aches and pains, fatigue and tiredness all make you feel like not doing much. THE RESULT: you stop taking time out to make yourself look pretty and end up looking like a slob!

Honestly though, I think every woman should enjoy her pregnancy and take time out to look and feel pretty. The best way to appear beautiful is to dress nicely and add a touch of gloss and blush to complete the look. You don’t need to layer on the makeup to do that, in fact, with the pregnancy hormones giving you a nice glow to begin with, it’s easy to just dab on a nice mineral foundation along with some natural lip gloss and your face is all set.

When choosing clothes, it is important that you DO NOT just wear loose sweatpants and huge t-shirts to hide the bulge. They are no doubt comfortable, but are definitely not the best choice of clothes to make you look nice.

With so many exclusive maternity clothing stores like motherhood, pea in the pod and Mimi maternity, as well as  department store selling maternity lines like gap maternity, old navy maternity and Macys maternity  there is no need to hide the bulge. All offer a wide range of trendy and stylish clothes, in an assortment of price ranges, that you can easily pick clothes which not only look good, but also fit your budget.

If you are getting ready for work then you can wear a nice maternity skirt with a maternity blouse or match a nice pair of maternity jeans with a baby doll floral top and you are all set to go out in the evening.  Add a chunky necklace and a pair of stylish flat sandals to complete the look and you can feel like a princess any time and any place!

So ladies, enjoy the time and make sure you dress up with care so everyone can see what a beautiful mom-to-be you are!
