Sexy Maternity Lingerie Is Not an Oxymoron

As Jessica Alba bravely illustrated last week, being pregnant doesn't mean you're off limits in the bedroom. In fact, many mamas-to-be are raring to go (thank you hormones!), so expecting parents should take advantage of their child-free nights (and mornings and afternoons), because once there's a tiny tot on the scene, parents' sexy time is the first thing to go. Pregnant women tend to feel enormous, but if you ask most partners, they'll tell you that there's nothing sexier than a beautiful, glowing mama-to-be, so there's no reason to limit bedroom attire to massive cotton T-shirts. It is possible to find baby-bump friendly lingerie that's comfortable, sexy, and will make a smooth transition from maternity wear to nursing wear.

Bringing Sexy Back: Elle Macpherson Nursing Bras

Any new mom will tell you dealing with the logistics of feeding your baby are more important than how your breasts are costumed, but that doesn't solve the great nursing bra dilemma. You still have to worry about leaking, accessibility, comfort and adjusting to life as a lactating woman. Usually, all that criterion leaves little space for style or sexiness.

Luckily, we mothers have former supermodel and mommy Elle Macpherson on our side. Her nursing bras, which retail for about $62, aim to be "as sleek and sexy as your pre-maternity bras." The cups are made of delicate lace with a cotton lining.
