Who was the person that said it was attractive to wear clothing so tight when you’re 8 months pregnant that everyone can see your protruding belly button as well as the bottom of your belly? That’s right, no one said it! (Salma Hayek, left)

Being pregnant isn’t something to wear as a badge of honor, it’s a fact of life. If you were 25 pounds overweight without being pregnant, would you wear clothes that emphasized it? Probably not.

Everyone still knows that you’re pregnant even if you dress in maternity clothes that fit.

I have a friend that wears lashes and extra hair every day and has done it through both of her pregnancies.

Giving life to someone else is a fabulous and miraculous thing.

Be fabulous while your in the process.

During Pregnancy, you may want to try these tips (from Wiki-how) for the prevention of stretch marks:

Eat a very healthy diet to nourish your skin (and your baby) from the inside out. Take your prenatal vitamins and eat the right amount of calories from healthy foods which provide plenty of calcium, protein, whole grains, and vitamin rich fruits and vegetables.

Drink eight or more glasses of water and/or other fluids daily to hydrate your skin and maintain elasticity.

Follow guidelines for gradual weight gain, in the recommended amount. This should be about 25-35 pounds if you’re a healthy weight, slightly more if you’re underweight or expecting twins and slightly less if you’re overweight. The faster you gain weight during pregnancy, the more likely it is you will get stretch marks.

Moisturize your breasts, belly, thighs and anywhere else you think you might get stretch marks at least morning and night if you wish. Creams and lotions have not been medically proven to prevent stretch marks as they cannot penetrate to the deep skin layer where stretch marks occur, but they can help your skin to feel less dry and itchy. Cocoa butter, almond oil and organic shea butter are marvelous choices. Also wheatgerm oil.

Continue your diet regimen after you deliver until you’re back to your target weight — rapid weight loss can also result in stretch marks!

After, if you end up getting stretch marks anyway, you should get Strivectin (then click here for Stretch Mark Removal), although it’s now touted as a botox-type product, it’s original intent was for stretch marks.
