Motherhood Maternity stores are trying to persuade me that being pregnant can be sexy. The cover of one of their ads shows 3 people - a "sexy" pregnant woman walking past a couple sitting at an outdoor cafe. The man has obviously turned his head to check out the "hot" pregnant woman, and his girlfriend is glaring at him jealously across the table. The "hot" pregnant woman's left hand is obscured in the photo.
The text inside the flier reads: "Who's that star? Motherhood Moms-to-be - that's who! They're all woman getting all the attention. ... Today's moms are accomplished and vibrant, and they combine class and sophistication with a healthy dose of H-O-T." One of the women even has her pregnant belly hanging out over her jeans, as is the trend with flat-bellied girls.

I really don't need to worry about being sexy right now. I have a lot of other things to worry about.
