Here's an assignment. Check out wedding pages of your newspaper this weekend. Do any of brides look like cover girls?

Look closely. Sure, there may be a couple of model types among them, but most of women are average looking. Some of them resemble Phil Spector, for Pete's sake. What do they have that you don't?

Nothing.

Please do not fall into trap of believing that you have to achieve a certain look to attract good, marriage-minded men. Whatever you do, do not size yourself up against other women.

Walk into every room with knowledge that, whatever you look like, you're a winner. You have much to offer a man.

I can remember two separate occasions when I was interested in a great looking guy (who I later found out returned my interest) but figured I didn't have a chance because I had a little squish around middle. Guess what? Both guys ended up with women with at least 20 pounds on me, and years later, remain happily married to them.

If you are pregnant or soon will be, it can sometimes seem like a daunting task trying to remain fashionable and pregnant all at same time.

Many women at least initially lament loss of their pre-pregnant figures. The good news however, is that there are literally hundreds of online maternity fashion shops that offer quality, great looking and fun maternity wear at reasonable prices!

Just because you are pregnant doesn’t mean you have to suffer from a fashion perspective. In fact, finding right fashion wear might be just what you need to jump-start your pregnancy and make you feel great about yourself.

When To Start Wearing Maternity Fashions

Many new moms wonder when they should start wearing maternity clothes. You definitely won’t be needing them your first trimester, where you alone are probably only person that can tell that you are pregnant.

Most women start wearing maternity items at about fourth or fifth month. Now, this varies from woman to woman. Second time moms often start showing earlier than their first time counterparts, and women with multiples start showing even sooner.
