  • Pregnant & Pretty: Tips for all 3 Trimesters

    There's a scene in Knocked Up where Katherine Heigl sits atop Seth Rogen with tousled hair and heaving breasts (basically looking gorgeous) and declares, "I can't do this!"

    And that, in a nutshell, is what it's like to be a pregnant woman.

    You're uncomfortable and insecure and the only thing you know for sure is that you surely cannot do this!

    But while the next nine months will test your relationship with your significant other, your willpower and your nerves, not only will you be able to master this new-mom thing, you'll do it with patience and panache.

    I would know. I'm currently 30 weeks pregnant with my second son. And I'm here to help you get through the next nine months feeling great and looking incredible.

    You can do this - day by day, week by week, trimester by trimester.
