• Designer maternity wear can run more than $100 per item.

• Maternity/nursing bras run $12-$22 at Motherhood[2] , $30-$38 at Mimi Maternity[3] , and $24-$26 at A Pea in the Pod[4] .
• Motherhood sells bikinis, briefs and thongs separately or in packages of three and four for $10-$16 and Mimi Maternity[5] sells briefs, bikinis and thongs for $6-$9.50 each.
• Sleepwear runs $38-$88 at Mimi Maternity[6] and $55-$125 at A Pea in the Pod[7] .

• From Demi Moore's 1991 Vanity Fair cover to the tabloids frequent celebrity "bump" watches, the pregnant figure has come into vogue. Gone are the days of shapeless muu muus; today's women are showing off the fullness of their expectant curves with pride.
