While Summer affords pregnant bellies the luxuries of swimming and breathable cottons, I found that sporting a large bump in the Fall and Winter months is quite a treat. I have the benefit of cuddling up in a bulky sweater with a pair of plush corduroys.
Old Navy has some bargain sale prices while Pea in the Pod has some swanky styles.

Naomi Watts knows how to keep her stylish wits about her while toting around a toddler and packing a baby bump. Her Summer boho chic style of belting longer tunics paired with sandals was fabulous, but I'm thinking her Fall wardrobe will be just as impressive.
Soaking up the chilly Autumn weather in NYC, the blonde Aussie sported a wine hued knit dress, chocolate colored tights, a cozy gray sweater and a practical yet stylish pair of caramel suede boots.

Naomi Watts may be pregnant with her second child but that's not stopping her from looking Fab on the red carpet. She looked royally amazing in a Dolce & Gabbana purple-satin dress topped with a killer Vera Wang snake necklace. The black ankle boots are a refreshing change from the signature red carpet open-toe sandal look.

My first pregnancy was all about mini dresses and skirts, but the second go-around — not so much. Aside from the fact that I still carried around five pounds of previous baby weight, as the rest of it packed on, I was constantly on the move. There was no time to style my hair or pair shoes with purses.

Known for outfitting some of Hollywood's "A-list" celebmamas like Minnie Driver, Gillian Anderson, and Jessica Alba, Isabella Oliver is one maternity line that keeps mommies-to-be dressed to the nines even through month nine.
The folks at Isabella Oliver graciously sent me the Maxi Cardi to test drive. Knitted with 90 percent lambswool and 10 percent cashmere, the fluffy sweater is a luxury for chilly days.

Any woman will tell you the LBD is a critical wardrobe piece for work and play. You don't have to let go of your favorite always fashionable crutch just because your belly is growing and you're not-so-lil any more — plenty of designers have pretty and chic maternity LBDs.
One of my favorites right now is the abs one shoulder dress (on sale for $150) because it has the same feel of the flowing Maxi dresses Gwen Stefani and Angelina Jolie wore while pregnant with their now infants.

Tights can be downright uncomfortable even when you aren't pregnant, but a growing belly only exacerbates the slip and slide tight action around your middle. I've found Italian low rise tights are more comfy than regular hosiery, but plenty of designers make maternity tights.
I like these full length Mama Spanx ($28) because they have a pregnancy panel with underbelly support and can be pulled up above your belly instead of sitting under it like most maternity pants.
