Feeling Sexy During Pregnancy
Anne Cavicchi


Some people think that the word sexy and pregnancy do not belong
together. I have to disagree. In fact, I have heard many men say
that a woman is her sexiest and most beautiful when she is
pregnant!

So, how do you go about feeling sexy when your belly is expanding
and your body is going through so many changes? So many women
tell me they feel unattractive when they are pregnant, but they
don’t have to!


The good news is that the days of the maternity tent dress are
over! Today’s maternity wear is hip, trendy and yes, even sexy!

The designers have brilliantly combined comfort and fashion in
clothing that you can start wearing as soon as you discover you
are pregnant right on through post-partum and beyond.


Just wearing your husband clothes may be economical – and they
may fit fine over your expanding belly -- but they will not have
a good fit everywhere else! Buying bigger sizes in regular
clothes is also never a great idea if you want to feel good about
yourself. I’m sorry to say you will just look bigger and feel
frumpy.


There are several “basics” that every woman should have when she
is pregnant. For your first pieces, try to stick with basics that
will go with everything. A couple of good pairs of pants, jeans
or skirts are a good place to start (your lifestyle will
determine which is best for you). Add a top or two and you are on
your way! Then, as you "grow", add tops in fashionable prints and
colors that will mix and match with your basics, giving you fresh
new looks, as well an occasional, much needed, psychological
boost. If you are really keen, splurge on some “not-so-practical”
tops or bottoms to round out your maternity wardrobe. Remember,
many of today’s styles can be worn after baby too!


If you cannot afford a whole new wardrobe, or even if you can and
don't want to spend the money, you need to get yourself at least
a couple of basics and one outfit that makes you feel beautiful
and sexy -- there is no price for the way an outfit like this
will make you feel!


Don’t forget your underwear! If your underwear binds you are not
going to feel comfortable. There are so many great styles
available now! And if you’re a thong wearer, there’s no reason to
stop now. Maternity thongs, as well as the bikinis and briefs,
are available in a wide variety of fabrics and colors.


Chances are you will probably require several different bra sizes
throughout your pregnancy. No matter which type of bra you
choose, fit is important. There should be room for expansion
around the rib cage and room for expansion in the cup, but not so
much that the bra does not provide adequate support. Have fun
with your maternity and nursing bras -- there are so many options
available!


There are also some great skin care products available now.
Pamper yourself with some luxurious creams or body wash! Take
some time out for you -- you deserve it!

Remember, when you feel good, you look great -- even sexy!
