HERE & NOW

GREAT EXPECTATIONS

A night out on the town just isn't the same when you're a month shy of giving birth. Somehow the whole glamorous thing can get lost -- if you let it. Why not make the most of the one time in your life that you don't have to bother camouflaging your tummy? Go all out with a gown that turns heads while putting your proud moment in the spotlight. One shoulder silk gown with rosette detail in mink, $495, A Pea in the Pod

SUPPORT SYSTEM

The treadmill can be daunting for a large busted woman if she isn't well-equipped with a good bra. All it takes is a quick sprint and you've got a peep show waiting to happen. Avoid the discomfort with Wacoal's Sport line made special for the full-figured woman. Both underwire and nonunderwire styles feature Naturexx, a moisture-management finish that keeps the skin cool and dry. Cups C-DDD available. Wacoal Sport bra, $62, Macy's
