Some women start to worry about all of their body changes and their appearance being altered around week 8 pregnancy, the perfect time to go shopping. With all of the new trends and funky styles that are now available, looking chic while being pregnant is no longer something to fret over. Some of the hottest looks and styles for pregnant moms are listed here for your review before you hit the shops.

Chambray Skirts

An inexpensive addition to your wardrobe is the chambray skirt. It goes with multiple tops, has a wide, stretchy waistband for growing room, and features a ruffled-circle design for femininity. Above-the-knee and super cute, it can be coupled with a beaded tee or a silky camisole. Chambray skirts will undoubtedly become an item on the list of the top maternity clothes of 2011.

Capri Pants

These pants are slated to become one of the top maternity clothes for spring. Capri pants can go from casual to dressy by simply changing your shoes or top. Mix and match capris with short sleeves or no sleeves, a simple tank top, or three-quarter length sleeves to look perfect for any occasion.

Leggings

Making their way out of the 80s and into the top maternity fashions of 2011 are the stretchy pants called leggings. They can be worn with almost anything you choose from a long tee to a short dress.

Tunics

Tunic tops will be one of the most versatile pieces in your maternity wardrobe. Many different looks can be achieved with a tunic, from hugging your beautiful body to loosely accentuating it. They come in various material choices and designs. From casual to dressy, you can opt for the popular men’s shirt styles to the simple little tank look. This top fashion can be an excellent choice for skirts, business slacks, Capri pants or leggings.

Floral and Colourful Dresses

Sleeveless, cap sleeve or spaghetti strap dresses for spring can include long or short lengths. The popular long, maxi dress is one of the top maternity clothing choices for 2011 thus far with optional floral prints or solid colours. An empire cut waist literally exudes femininity and style. Some feature high, round necklines and some entail a drop V, though they are all super sexy for spring. A low scoop back and an elastic bubble hem are two designs creating excitement for a more sensual look of pregnancy.

Floral designs give you that springtime feeling as soon as you put them on, whether you are around week 8 pregnancy or farther along. Which of these fashions will you be wearing in 2011?

Until you’ve experienced pregnancy yourself, you won’t understand the journey one goes through.  If you’re someone that is struggling due to the changes of pregnancy, here are a few things you can do to boost your self confidence, and to feel beautiful once again.

Rest: First of all, you need to make sure you’re getting at least 8 hours of sleep each night.  Let your body relax, and give your baby the rest it needs.

Diet: A healthy diet is essential if you want a healthy baby and pregnancy.  Not to mention, when you eat the right foods and get the vitamins you need, your body will function properly and give you that healthy glow.

Exercise: When we finish a good exercise the feeling is great.  We feel accomplished, healthier already, and more energized.  Not only is exercising good for your body and your mind, it helps keep your weight where it’s supposed to be and increases your chances of a healthier pregnancy.

Clothing: Take the time to buy some cute maternity clothes.  When we have clothes that fit us nicely and flatter us we have a lot more confidence in the way we look.  You’ll feel beautiful and happy you took the time to do some shopping.

Pamper: Pregnancy is a long journey.  Each trimester is different, and each woman experiences different symptoms.  Take time to pamper yourself so that you can relax and feel good during your pregnancy.  Whether you get a facial done, a pedicure or your hair coloured, take time to feel good about yourself.

It is important that even though your body is going through several changes that you remember the prize at the end.  Keep yourself excited, happy, and focused on the positive things instead of the negative!  Once you feel yourself wandering to the negative side, call up a friend or family member and get in a good talk!
