The rule of thumb for expecting moms is wear whatever makes you feel good—and comfortable. Beyond that, it’s best to wear separates such as a skirt or pants with a top to accommodate frequent trips to the bathroom. Layer your clothing to cope with sudden temperature changes, from the arctic blast of an airconditioned airport to the stifling heat of a crowded bus.

This time it was different; there was a bewildering air of regret in the room, as if the people seeing me off expected never to see me again.
