Show Off Your Maternity Bump Like Tori Spelling!

Don’t be afraid to show off that bump in a sexy maternity bikini. Take advantage of the one time in your life when you don’t have to have flat abs to flaunt a bikini swimsuit and look and feel sexy. Show off your rounded tummy with your favorite style bikini. For many of us, this is a time when our bust is fuller and our curves are welcome!

Classic black strapless always looks good on any body type. Tori Spelling wore this pretty black 2 piece last summer when pregnant with her third child. We think the black oval pendant adds to the glamour of this simple black swimsuit style, particularly with the strapless design.

Check out Prego Maternity’s timeless Maternity Bikini with an oval cinch buckle.  The padded bra offers good support and the bottoms are made just for maternity and will comfortably stretch with you while offering a seamless flattering fit. This style comes in black and brown in sizes XS-Large.

Why not have fun with fashion you were too timid to wear before you were pregnant. Try a different style or color than you would normally wear. Experiment with fashion at the beach or pool (or your own backyard).

This season BelaBumbum offers a hot Fushia Ring Maternity Bikini:

This fun color shows you are excited about your pregnancy, your curves and getting out in the sun! This maternity bikini swimsuit features a silver rectangle ring and adjustable halter and back ties. The bikini top is padded for a nice contoured look for your maternity shape and maximum comfort and style. The bottoms are super stretchy to accommodate your changing shape.

Pregnant Hilary Duff Shows Off Her Bump

Pregnant Hillary Duff looks great in maternity clothes.In a recent Dankins Event at the Santa Monica Ice Rink, mom-to-be Hilary Duff glowed in a fitted cowl neck mustard sweater. Duff presented a check for $10,000 for Danskin’s “Move for Change” charity event.

Duff pairs this gorgeous fitted sweater with black leggings and grey shade boots and a pretty pendant necklace. We love Hilary’s choice of style as the mustard hued sweater brings out her skin’s radiance and complements her hair color. The cowl neck highlights her face and brings the focus upwards. The fitted leggings and sweater show off her pregnancy curves and give her an overall sleek and stylish look. Also, the longer length sweater elongates and streamlines her figure.

Wear a maternity turtleneck with a pair of leggings for a great maternity clothes look.Go for a similar look with Olian’s Turtleneck Top, and Japanese Weekend’s Over the Belly Leggings.

Leggings are definitely the rage now with a longer fitted sweater or tunic. Maternity leggings are an excellent choice for versatile wear with boots or flats. They also make for great transitional wear after the baby!

Victoria Secret Model Alessandra Ambrosio Pregnant on the Runway!

This model’s secret is out!

Don’t we all wish we could look this awesome in a bikini when pregnant? Well, we shouldn’t feel too bad because after all the gorgeous Brazilian supermodel, Alessandra Ambrosio, is only 2 months pregnant pictured here at the Victoria Secret Runway Show. Admittedly she had an amazing body in the first place and I’m sure she will keep up as much as her workout routine as her body allows so she can bounce right back into her runway fashion like former colleague Heidi Klum did baby after baby.

This will be Alessandra’s second child with fiancé, California businessman, Jamie Mazur. The couple began dating in 2005. They have a daughter, Anja Louise , who is 3 years old. Allessandra confirmed to US Weekly on Dec 27th, “Family is the most important thing to me and I’m thrilled to be adding to the family. I’m fortunate to have a loving a supportive family. It’s a blessing that it will soon be growing.”

Alessandra said she was surprised to find out she was pregnant and a bit nervous about the timing with her upcoming Victoria Secret Fashion Runway Show:

“When I first found out I was pregnant I thought, ‘Oh my gosh I don’t think I’m going to be able to walk on the show,’ and I didn’t tell anybody so no one knew at the show that I was pregnant,” the Victoria’s Secret Angel, 30, explained to Us Weekly. “A week before, I told my booker I don’t think I’m going to be able to fit into the clothes because I gained a few pounds already, but we were just quiet. I cut all the sugars and sweets 10 days before and I got my trainer — the one I usually get — and we were doing lots of glutes and arms and back exercises.”

However Alessandra could not be more happy with the coming addition:

“I’m thrilled. I always wanted to have a big family so it was definitely my plan to have another baby,” said Ambrosio. “When I found out I was pregnant I was just as happy as I could be and I’m just enjoying every day. I love being pregnant! My body loves to be pregnant. I don’t feel nauseous. I get a little more hungry but I just feel great.”

It will be fun to see what maternity clothes styles this fashionable model will be donning in the coming months as Alessandra’s due date is Spring 2012.

Prego Maternity Swimsuit on “The Office” Jan 12th!!

Set your DVR’s or watch the episode of “The Office” Thursday Jan. 12 on NBC, 9/8c time. Prego Maternity sent their Solid Black Halter Baby Doll suit to “The Office” for Angela and Pam to wear. We don’t know if one of them or both of them will wear the suit. Can wait to see!

We have this same maternity suit in both black and brown:  Our sizing on this Prego style runs from Small to 3X.

The Solid Black Halter Baby Doll is a timeless maternity swimwear style. Black is the best color for slimming and giving your enhanced assets a sexy boost.

For the serious swimmers who also like the Baby Doll style maternity swimsuit, we also have it in the Tankini design. The Tankini Baby Doll comes in Black in sizes Large-2X. It is a two piece with over the belly bottoms and adjustable tankini straps. The Halter Baby Doll is also a 2 piece with adjustable halter ties.

Pregnant Hilary Duff Maternity Clothes

Hilary Duff, who is due in February, has been very active during her pregnancy. From running errands around town to working out to spending quality time with her hubby, we have loved all the casual outfits she has worn! Just yesterday, Hilary was spotted leaving a Pilates class in comfy sweats and a loose fitting top, but spiced up her look with a pair of funky glasses. Every mom needs a pair of go to sweats, and Majama’s Softest Yoga Pant is a great choice for a gym workout or walk with one’s friends.

Earlier in the week Hilary was seen running errands around town in a cute, all-back ensemble. Black leggings paired with a black tunic top and moccasin inspired boots completed her comfy yet stylish look. The loose top paired with fitted leggings creates a nice balance, and the boots added a funky and fun touch. When one wants to look fashionable yet remain comfortable, this outfit is a great choice. Try Bella Band’s super stretchy Essentials Over Belly Maternity Leggings paired with Olian’s Off The Shoulder Tee for a similar look.

Last month, when Hilary was out and about in Los Angeles, she paired the same great maternity leggings with a cute striped tank top and a large, cowl scarf. As the weather gets cooler, this outfit works by simply switching the tank out for a long sleeve top, such as 1 in the Oven’s ¾ Sleeve Striped Nursing Henley.

We love how Hilary wears comfortable clothing while still looking stylish!

Maternity Clothes Christmas Gifts

Searching for that perfect Christmas gift for your favorite mom-to-be? Fear not! There are several essentials that every mom wants and needs, making it a surefire guarantee that you will have the perfect gift.

Cute and comfy pajamas are an essential for every woman, and a pair designed for both maternity and nursing is a great gift option. The Olian sleepwear sets are coveted by all expectant mothers, as they are comfortable, cute, and made incredibly well. The sets are all a bit different, but many include a nursing tank, bottoms, a robe, and a cute baby sleeper. The super soft and lightweight fabric ensures comfort throughout the night, and the fun patterns are feminine and pretty. The Hearts 4 Piece Nursing Pajama set is a favorite among mothers, with the dainty heart pattern. If the gender of the baby is unknown, try the Green Leaf 4 Piece Nursing Pajama Set as the green baby sleeper is unisex.

Another item coveted by expectant mothers is the Bella Band. This seamless knit band is worn over one’s pre-pregnancy pants when they are too small and used to hold up one’s pregnancy pants when they are still a bit too big. It can also be worn after pregnancy to transition back into pre-pregnancy clothing. The Bella Band ensures comfort and one size fits throughout the entire pregnancy. Available in many colors, there is also a lace option that adds extra feminine detail.

Layering is a popular trend, and when one’s baby bump is growing a layering tank is a great way to provide extra coverage. Maternity tanks are designed with extra stretch to fit throughout one’s pregnancy, and they are an excellent gift for any expectant mom. The Essentials Everyday Cami from Bella Band has an ultra-soft knit blend and seamless construction to ensure comfort throughout the day. Perfect for layering, it is cut extra-long to ensure coverage throughout one’s pregnancy.

Surprise that special mom-to-be with the perfect Christmas gift! She will love any of these options as they are both fashionable and functional.

Maternity Swimwear For Your Babymoon

A pre-baby vacation filled with pampering, sleep, and relaxation…sound good? We think so, as do the growing number of couples treating themselves to a restful trip before the baby arrives. So popular, this pre-baby vacation has become known as the Babymoon and is the “last hurrah” for soon to be parents. The Babymoon is designed for relaxation, peacefulness, and bonding time with one’s partner. It is a time to reconnect, put aside the day to day distractions, and focus on one’s relationship. For a relaxing and romantic getaway, there are many Babymoon options available.

Many couples enjoy a destination Babymoon, and choosing a beach getaway is a great idea. One can fly to resorts in Mexico, the Bahamas, or Turks and Caicos for the ultimate Babymooon experience. Here one can lie on the beach, share a couple’s massage, and take romantic strolls in the evening. For these tropical getaways, one needs the perfect maternity swimsuit. A pretty choice for this special time is the Maternal America Black Flutter Halterkini. The halter top has a flattering empire waist design and a mesh fabric that covers one’s baby bump, which is sexy while still providing that extra bit of coverage. A bikini is also perfect for this special time, and is great for tanning on the beach. BelaBumBum’s beautiful Fuchsia Ring Maternity Bikini has a tropical feel with its gorgeous pink color, and the silver rectangles at the bust and hip add the perfect festive touch.

If one does not have a lot of free time for a getaway, a one day Babymoon is a great alternative. Even one day of relaxation with one’s partner provides bonding and rejuvenation time. For a short Babymoon, spend the day relaxing at a spa. Many spas offer couples services as well as services geared specifically for mothers-to-be, such as a pregnancy massage.

No matter how much time one has for a Babymoon, there is an option for everyone. From a tropical getaway to a rejuvenating spa day, spending this special time with one’s partner is the perfect way to prepare for the arrival of one’s baby.

Celebrity Babies This Week!

Out and about for the holidays, new celebrity mamas have been showing off their cute bundles of joy this week! Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott showed off the first pictures of their precious new family addition, baby Hattie. Born October 10th, Hattie is adorable cuddled up in Tori’s arms. Joining big brother Liam and big sister Stella, as well as Dean’s son Jack from his previous marriage, we could not be happier for the beautiful family.

Also spotted out this week was Jessica Alba with her baby Haven, just four months old. Haven joined big sister Honor earlier this year, and the adorable family has only gotten cuter. Jessica and Haven were out purchasing a Christmas tree, and Haven was bundled up in a furry vest. Jessica wore a flowing knit sweater that would go perfectly with a great pair of skinny jeans and one’s favorite winter boots. So precious!

Alyssa Milano was another mom spotted with her baby this week. Alyssa posted a picture of herself and her adorable three month old son Milo in their garden. They look so cute all cuddled up together! When speaking to Best of Babes, Alyssa spoke of the importance of breastfeeding to her, stating, “I think the thing I like best about breastfeeding is the closeness I feel to Milo and knowing that he’s getting the best of me.” She also explained how it is hard for her to breastfeed in public, due to the paparazzi. “I wish I could breastfeed in public without feeling as though a picture would show up on TMZ,” she says. “… When we go out I bring a bottle of expressed milk because sadly, I’m just not comfortable feeding him in public.”

We love seeing all the adorable newborns! Congratulations to the growing families!

Pregnant Celibrities and Their Maternity Clothes

This week has been an exciting one for many pregnant celebrity mamas, and they are eager to share their joy with the rest of the world. The gorgeous and glowing Jessica Simpson appeared on the Rachel Ray Show yesterday, and was very happy to discuss her pregnancy. When she felt her baby move for the first time, she was overcome with emotion. “I felt [the baby] move the other day for the first time and I had big crocodile tears. It was the coolest thing ever. It did a flip or something. I was like, ‘There it went. It’s there, it’s really there.’” We can feel her joyful emotions, and Jessica said she has been queen of the waterworks during her pregnancy, stating that she has been crying “at the drop of a hat”. She adds that, “Even a great soufflé would make me cry.” Wearing a fitted animal print dress and black tights, Jessica looked ready absolutely stunning.

Another star sharing about her pregnancy this week is the beautiful Jennifer Garner. Gracing the cover of InStyle magazine, Jennifer spoke to them about some of the difficulties pregnancy can bring. She says that she had nausea during her first trimester, and some strange food cravings. She stated, “My kids had never seen Doritos before. They would say, ‘Mom, where did you get that orange chip? I really want that’”. We love her adorable family and know the next baby will be just as sweet. Jennifer also spoke of her pregnancy weight gain. “I wish I was one of those cute pregnant girls who wear skinny jeans throughout their pregnancies. But I just gain weight.” We appreciate her candidness, and think that she looks gorgeous in everything she wears! We look forward to the new babies that will be arriving soon!
