Great Expectations
01/22/2004
Oh, sure, it's a miracle. And of course you're all aglow. And it
goes without saying that you've never been so happy in your life.
But none of that changes the fact that being pregnant means you
can't fit into any of your favorite clothes. And the last thing
you want to do is hoist your newly gained pounds around the mall.
So here's a roundup of the best online maternity-clothing
resources for every type of mama-to-be. Don't let the fact that
you won't be wearing these clothes for more than the next few
months stop you.
It never has before.
Stylin' Mama
Impending motherhood does not have to mean you commit yourself
to potato-sack schmattes that pass for maternity wear. For
trendy tops, bottoms, and everything in between, check out
naissancematernity.com (all the rage in L.A.). A winter favorite:
the Nine Months thermal tee.

Rock-Star Mama
Pumpkin Wentzel was a rocker in her pre-baby days, which means
she knows how to pull off guitar-chick chic with a bump. Pumpkin
Maternity stocks items like perfectly sleek cowl-neck sweaters
and cigarette pants.
http://store.yahoo.com/pumpmaternity/
Classic Mama
Gap Maternity has great staples like wrap sweaters and lounge
pants. For the all-in-one approach, there's Babystyle.com's
pregnancy survival kit: a collection of interchangeable basics
in one easy box.

Every Mama
Who doesn't need perfect jeans? Let the Paper Denim & Cloths
wait in the closet. (They need the rest anyway.) Take a pair
of adorable Citizens of Humanity maternity jeans out for a spin.
(They're made by the peeps behind Seven.)

Thrifty Mama
Those who simply refuse to part with their vintage Levi's should
invest in a belly belt. Attach it to any pair of button-up pants
and -- voila! -- instant maternity wear.

Fashion-Junkie Mama
No pregnancy is going to come between her and her penchant for
of-the-moment styles. A Pea in the Pod has a slamming selection
of designers, like Diane von Furstenberg and Chaiken. It even
carries a seamless thong. Need more? Cadeau Maternity, the
brainchild of two former Barneys employees, should satisfy even
the most hard-to-please.

Sick Mama
Alleviate the horrors of morning sickness, dry mouth, and an
achy back with the handy remedies in Pink Confection's Little
Luxuries for Pregnancy kit, which includes lollipops (for
nausea) and a headband (for holding your hair back when, you
know ... ).
http://www.pinkconfection.com/pages/littleluxuries.html
Sexy Mama
One blessed, wonderful word: cleavage. Those new curves will
shock and delight everyone. (Most of all dad.) Susana Monaco's
tube tops show off just the right amount. And Juicy's tube
smock dresses do the trick alone or with jeans.

So good luck with the pregnancy. Now go stress about more
important things.
Like getting your name on the preschool waiting list.
