This is my second pregnancy, and I’m not sure that I’d call it a “secret”, but being totally sick for the first 5 months and the resulting weight loss leads to a surprising number of compliments about how great I look. A less painful secret would be making sure to use sunscreen to avoid the brown spots that can come with pregnancy.
Cocoa butter and shea butter are awesome natural alternatives that seriously take the blow of stretch marks! 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway! Sounds fun…
This is my 3rd pregnancy in less than 2 years and I’ve completely forgotten how to be fashionable. I desperately need this book!! Of course, with a 21 month old and an 8 month old, and 26 weeks preggo again, I pretty much just wear all dark colors to hide the messes…
I know this will sound gross to the non-chinese readers, but the bird nest soup is really doing a miracle. I had good skin before, but eating a small bowl every night is making my skin radiant and flawless. Eating bird salvia might seem gross, but hey, beats botox….not that it’s any cheaper. lol
We plan on trying to get pregnant this summer..my current babies are 9 and 11 so it will be like starting all over. I want to look my best and feel my best. Any good tips?
This is my first pregnancy and I have gain so much weight, I am unrecognizable. I need to be a little bit fashionable during this time of misery.
I actually have used olive oil on my belly since the beginning and I don’t have any stretch marks with 6 weeks to go until my little bundle of joy arrives!
I went out and got some cool non-maternity wear; i.e. regular clothes, but in bigger sizes. This worked out especially well as I am a petite girl and would just drown in the maternity wear.
Great giveaway!
Olive oil (regular not virigin) to prevent stretch marks works wonders—definitely try it!
If you can get away with it, wear normal size clothes and use a belly band. Much more flattering than maternity clothes!
I am not pregnant, but am expecting a grandson soon. My tip is to wear “grown up clothes” when you are expecting-forget those cutesy smocks.

My best tips for looking radiant and glorious is to drink lots of water, walk outdoors for 20 minutes a day and take time several times a day to recline with your feet up for at least 10 minutes.
I’m still really early so I don’t have any real secrets yet. But I’ve been pampering myself whenever possible, keeping my makeup up to date, getting my roots high lighted…
The only “secret” I have is to get plenty of sleep! An overtired pregnant woman is not pretty!
I agree that a good nights sleep is a key to a well balanced pregnancy
Getting a foot massage nightly!
Yoga! For my glow it worked wonders, really started my days out right and kept my body strong and happy.
Sunblock that’s at least spf 15!
DH and I hope to TTC this fall. From everything that everyone has told me so far is to…drink lots of water, try to lightly exercise, plenty of sleep, lather up that belly with lots of lotions, have at least one maternity outfit that your feel awesome in (even if you have to splurge), and take time for yourself. This prize pack sounds awesome. Thanks for the chance!
Every morning tell yourself that you are Beautiful! You are Amazing! That you are Blessed to have a baby in your belly!
It’s easy to look great when you are pregnant because you are naturally glowing. I just feel so great when I have a little one growing inside me.
I would say to pamper yourself. Get pedicures and facials or splurge on something that makes you feel pretty!
For my 2nd pregnancy, I was able to stay home and not work. I got plenty of rest and drank tons of water! I would give this as a gift to my friend Kim who is due in November this year!
I have two tweens and now I am pregnant with my third. Been so long and I am more conscious about my looks this time around.
This is my 3rd pregnancy and although I have not felt my most glorious I try to atleast look radiant by using a Brightening Serum. I like the Brightening Lotion by MAC it makes my skin look luminance so although I feel drab I look fab.
