My friend Traci, now in her fifties, is a mother of one. She sometimes jokes she didn t dare have more because of the awful clothes she would have to wear during her pregnancy. In the past few years, others, including designers, have come to the same conclusion. Since many women now work through much of their pregnancy, being able to maintain a professional image is important. Maternity shops offer a stunning variety of clothing, a far cry from the tent-like dresses of yesteryear.
Women can choose amongst different brands, different fabrics, and different styles.
But there are some items that women forget about - or don't think are as important. My underwire will give good support. And I can wear my bikini briefs throughout the pregnancy - they don't get in the way of my growing. Some would say yes. Most women don't get big everywhere, but queen-size nylons are big all over the place.
