Who said pregnant women can't be sexy?

If you ask my husband and he'll tell you how sexy he finds me!

With Halloween coming up, why not go the revealing route like CafeMom dennysgirl07.

I love her costume!

She was Princess Jasmine from the movie Alladin, but she wanted her belly to be something from the film as well.

Every morning it's the same thing -- after agonizing over what to wear (because I'm very limited in what fits my pregnant body) I do my best to shove my sausages (aka feet) into my boots.

Once I clear the ankle, my boot still fits fine, but some days it's a real struggle. And forget about getting them off. If my husband isn't home to pull them off for me, the process involves sweat, lots of grunting, and me nearly giving up before I finally get them off.

Last week I wondered if scary maternity halloween costumes for us pregnant ladies was too much. So far all of you thought I should go for it.

But in case you wanted to go the cute maternity Halloween costume route, I have more ideas!

Halloween may be one of my most favorite days of the year, second only to Thanksgiving because I love stuffing and gravy so much. But Halloween! I dress up every year.

My birthday happens to fall two days after, so if I have a get-together, it's often Halloween-themed. Last year I had a 70s costume party and the year before I dressed up as a car hop who had been run over -- blood, guts, tire tracks, and all.

I tend to like the gory costumes and I was reading a post in the Stay at Home Moms Group (must be member to view) about how she too liked the blood and guts aspect of it and wondered if pregnant women should tone it down for Halloween. Would it offend?

There are two ways to sport your baby bump when dressing up during pregnancy. Flaunt it or go flowy. At the Emmy's Heidi Klum flaunted it with a bump hugging dress and Kourtney Kardashian went with a loose flowy dress that tends to hide it a little.

Being pregnant is beautiful,  but it certainly comes with some cases of ugly. One case is swollen ankles and pale as can be legs, and I'm lucky if I even shave. I mean, my husband is lucky.

Pre-pregnancy I was a fan of shapewear -- underthings that keep any jigglies at bay and smooths me out under a tight dress.

Turns out shapewear can also be a pregnant woman's best friend.

Sometimes you can get away with not having to buy maternity clothing during your pregnancy. Sometimes, you have no choice (those jeans just refuse to give anymore). Here are some maternity clothing links I love:

Do you watch Project Runway? I don't miss an episode and I was so excited with last week's focus on designing maternity clothes!

Here we are, coming upon Fall, my favorite fashion season, and I cannot rock the clothes like last year -- twins at 23 weeks have my body...well, you know.

Though I may never wear (or afford) the designs created by the Project Runway contestants, it was nice to dream and to get inspiration.

No matter what clothes you bring to the hospital for the birth of your baby or babies, you end up in a hospital gown. And that gown, as most of us know, isn't very...um...comfortable. Or cute for that matter, but not sure if many of us really care about how we look when we are about to give birth.

I mean, I think I will care now as I prepare for it in December, but when the time comes, I'm, sure I'll have other things to worry about.

But for those interested in an alternative, two women designed a hospital gown that they say is fashion meets function.

If I could wear my summer dresses all the time I wouldn't have to buy any maternity clothes, but I can't and I need some tops and pants that will be comfortable around my five months pregnant with twins belly.

And I'm happy to say that Fit2BMom not only has really cute maternity active and leisure wear, but they are offering all CafeMoms a discount!
