"Just Because You’re Pregnant Doesn’t Mean You Have To Dread Summer"
Written By: Elise Rosemarin & Marta Abrams of Moody Mamas, Inc.

The summer weather is here! It’s getting hot, the humidity is soaring and you’re pregnant. You can’t do anything without breaking a sweat, let alone having to face the 80 degree weather. Right now, the only activity that sounds appealing is staying inside an air conditioned house watching Lifetime movies and eating bon bons. But don’t sweat it (literally), we’ve got the deets on how to keep you cool this summer!

Although your incredible hair might be turning heads, there’s no denying that on a hot day it can make you feel about twenty degrees warmer. The solution? A sleek ponytail paired with a chic headband. No, headbands aren’t just for little girls anymore. Lately, you can find trendy, embellished hair accessories everywhere-from CVS to J.Crew. So go ahead, make the investment and feel the breeze.

Dresses are the greatest invention for women, second to Brad Pitt, and every pregnant woman—scratch that—every woman needs a closet full of them for the summer. Right now, we’re loving the Fierce Mamas summer collection at Nordstrom.com created by the insanely fabulous designer, Christian Siriano. Going to a summer wedding? Try the chiffon printed sweetheart dress. Have a hot date? The charmeuse dress will have him saying "ooh la la la". This collection has tons of great pieces that will suit every occasion and will make you look like a Fierce Mama. Wish there were more Brad Pitts to go around...sigh. www.mmlovesnordstrom.com

There’s nothing more fantastic then spending the perfect summer day lounging at the beach. Thanks to Nicole Richie, gone are the days when pregnant women are forced to hide under a shady tree sporting a Grandma-style one piece. Your bump is a fabulous accessory, so flaunt it in an adorable tankini or a sexy one piece if you are looking to cover some flesh. Now, grab a virgin pina colada and head to the beach, because it’s too darn hot to do anything else!
