The doctor gives you the good news - "a bundle of joy is about to arrive!" It is definitely a cause for celebration. But just a little later, just like any other woman, your thoughts turn to the clothes you will have to wear for the entire length of your pregnancy! And that is when apprehensions sets in, for you have never seen maternity wear that is attractive or stylish till now!
But don't lose heart! A number of fashion designers took note of the dismal scene and felt the need to bring out trendy clothes for a mother-to-be. They did go ahead with their plans and have succeeded in giving a whole new meaning to the concept of maternity wear! The year of unfolding their banner is 2007.
Not only is maternity wear available at local malls, but it is also being presented on the World Wide Web. Plenty of web sites have devoted themselves to the cause of displaying colorful patterns and styles. So the choice is vast!
The early months of pregnancy are not so difficult and do not really need any special kind of maternity clothes. The former skirts and tops can still be worn comfortably. If necessary, pants and jeans can become a part of your new wardrobe. Pants do give more room at the waist! In fact, designers like Seven For Mankind and Citizen of Humanity have come up with eye-catching maternity jeans for people like you (if you have a soft corner for jeans and would love to wear them most of the time).
While shopping for jeans and tops, bear in mind that it is not considered fashionable for the pregnant woman to be exhibiting too much of flesh! Low-cut jeans or midriff tops are unacceptable. Modesty receives a high ranking.
If you are a working woman, you may wish to continue to work till you reach an advanced stage of pregnancy. The best maternity wear for you is therefore the maternity suit. There is a large variety available, stitched in various patterns and using different fabrics. The suit should be roomy enough to allow further growth during pregnancy, but at the same time should not be oversized.
Even if you are far advanced into your pregnancy, there is maternity wear with more consideration for enlarging waistlines. The designer, Anna Sui, has brought out baby-doll dresses for this purpose. A yoke dress flatters the silhouette. So do ponchos.
Unlike yesteryears where the woman tended to feel a little shy about her pregnant status being noticed, today's women flaunt it openly! And this includes Hollywood stars! And so, to help you show off your changing shape to the best advantage, modern maternity wear has come to your rescue!

Five Reasons For Preparing Your Own Baby Food
Here are 5 good reasons to start preparing your own baby food, as opposed to buying it in the store.
IT'S HEALTHIER AND MORE NUTRITIOUS Commercial baby foods contain additional fat, salt, sugar, fillers or other ingredients that are completely unnecessary (and often inappropriate) to your baby's diet. These additives are an attempt to add flavor, texture and bulk to poor-quality products. They contribute nothing at all to your baby's health or well-being. By preparing the food yourself, you can be sure that your baby is getting exactly what his/her little body needs - and nothing that it doesn't.
YOU'RE IN CONTROL By preparing your baby's food yourself, you know exactly what your baby is eating. When you prepare an apple sauce, you know he/she is getting fresh, pure apple and all the goodness it contains. However, when you buy apple-sauce at the store, you'd almost need a degree in nutrition just to decipher the list of ingredients.
IT'S EASY Once you get started cooking for your baby, you'll quickly realize just how easy it is. All you need is a food blender and some fresh ingredients to quickly prepare healthy, tasty, home-made meals for your little one. Furthermore, by making large amounts of his/her favorite meals in advance, and then freezing them for later, you'll be able to serve up delicious, healthy meals in minutes -- every day of the week.
IT'S MUCH CHEAPER The prices that baby food manufacturers charge for their products is nothing short of scandalous and are in no way justifiable. The reason they can charge so much is because they've conditioned most parents to believe that they have no choice but to buy from them. By preparing your baby's food yourself, you can avoid being a victim of this daylight robbery, and find yourself with extra cash to spend on all those other things that a growing baby needs.
IT'S VERY GRATIFYING Watching your baby enjoy the meal you've just prepared for him/her is already a very gratifying experience. On top of that, however, you have the satisfaction and pride of knowing that you're giving your child the gift of a healthy and nutritious diet - and saving yourself money as well.
And finally...
If all that weren't enough, here's another great reason to do it yourself: home-made baby food is much tastier than any commercial product. Delicious food is one of life's great pleasures and your baby deserves to enjoy the rich flavor and texture of real home cooking just as much as you or I. After all, none of us would enjoy eating 'TV Dinners' morning, noon and night - and that goes for your baby too!
So, don't put it off. Get started today. Your baby will thank you for it in more ways than one.
