What to wear, what to wear - one of the many concerns of all women during the magical time of pregnancy. One conundrum we face is the rapid change of both our size and the seasons during the joyous nine-month long extravaganza. Put down your pregnancy books and let's chat about shopping just for Modern Mom-to-be. This week, we asked Mom and Editor-in-Chief of ThriftyChick.com, Lizabeth Sorensen to find what's hot in spring/summer 2005 maternity chic that won't cost a bundle.

To Panel or not to Panel

Well I will tell you one thing I never thought I would go so far as the dreaded panel, butalong month 7 or so it happened. I was full out belly buster panel girl. How did it feel? Great! Where do you go to get a super smooth supportive belly paneled pant for less than $20? IMaternity.com
