One thing about being pregnant, everyone knows you put out. How did you get that way? Well, odds are there was some romance, wooing and carnal coupling involved and next thing you know, you’re lugging a kicking, growing bowling ball sized baby in your belly. Some ladies, they can pull off the whole earth mother thing and look and feel fantastic throughout all their trimesters. They pull off being preggers with ease and sexiness. The rest of us, well we need a little help. Here are ten of my picks for the sexiest maternity lingerie pieces to keep that fire burning while there’s a bun in the oven.

Esme Zebra Lace Trimmed Chemise
When you’re feeling a bit fierce and animalist, you can throw on this stretchy zebra print and pink lace detailed chemise by Esme. Of all the animal prints out there in fashionland – tiger, leopard, giraffe – zebra remains one of my personal favorite. It says “I’m wild” without saying “you can have me at hello”. $53

Passion Spice Giselle Maternity Babydoll and Bikini set
The nice thing about black, it’s slimming. And if you’re at all concerned and want something that won’t make you feel like you’re as big house (or in my case, a ten bedroom mansion), then the Passion Spice Giselle Maternity Babydoll and Bikini set is for you. Its’ stretchy fabric will grow with you but will still keep the illusion of some sense of slimness. $54.95

Sexy Mesh Flyaway Maternity Babydoll Set
In this number, red definitely means go. For some reason, this Sexy Mesh Flyaway Maternity Babydoll Set says “I want some pirate booty” to me. If you’re one for the whole role playing thing, then you can pull off wench with no problem in this, and it will surely shiver his timbers. (I know, corny, I just couldn’t help myself!) on sale for $34.00

Ke’Koqueta
Perfect for that beachy babymoon. I didn’t get a babymoon myself but this one is making me regret not jetting off to Cabo for some sun, sand and moonlight walks before the two of us became three. This silk maternity chemise from the company Ke’Koqueta is comprised of a deep aqua silk with little floral details around the bustline. It comes with a matching thong, I’m not a thong girl myself so I’d skip that part but the rest is pretty dreamy.

Belabumbum Chemise
You know what can be ultra sexy? Simplicity. Something that has an easy elegance, a bit of class, something that isn’t trying too hard but simply states “yeah…I’m pretty” without broadcasting it thru a bullhorn. And this number isn’t just pretty on the outside, it’s made of organic bamboo. This stretchy ribbed “anti-bacterial fabric with excellent wicking abilities that pull moisture away from the skin.” Perfect for a hot and steamy night. $78 from Babystyle.com

Lotus Loungewear Set
To quote the Psychedelic Furs, “isn’t she pretty in pink, isn’t she?” Yes, yes she is. This Lotus Loungewear Set in soft jersey with “lovely lotus lace” will transition from playtime on Saturday night to doing the crossword puzzle on Sunday morning. Simple and comfty. If you’re not feeling the pink, it also comes in black/pearl, bamboo/cream, java/breeze, and rose. $52 from Belabumbum

French Lace
There’s something about a tastefull lace that just says “hey baby, let’s get busy”. Plus if you’re going to invest in some French lace, this plum-apricot Bralet and Tanga set will transition from maternity to newborn nursing easily. The bra has “simple, pull over nursing access”, (or perhaps some partner access). And the underwear fits nicey under your growing belly. It’s simple with out being too over the top in lacy land. (Bra - $98 Underwear $72) From Bella Materna

Hot Milk
Black, hints of lace, silky softness? I think someone’s going to get lucky with this Slip Into Seduction number from the aptly named maternity lingerie company Hot Milk from New Zealand. This is a great transition piece since it also has nursing clasps for those nighttime nips. $89.95 AUD (from New Zealand)

Nougatine Bra and Panty Set
Coming from across the pond from London is the Amoralia collection. The Nougatine set gives a wee bit of retro Hollywood glamour to your nighttime trysts. The bra is available in maternity or nursing and the undies you can get as a demi-thong, lace brief or French Knicker with bow. Stylish, sexy and close up worthy. (from England - 40 Pounds for Bra and 20 Pounds for the undies)

Jola Babydoll
When you slip this one on, there should be no confusion on what your intentions are. This one just screams “do me”. An added bonus is the adjustable lace sides will accommodate any size belly. If you want to some extra sizzle, it also comes in a fire engine red. Hot! $29 from Passion Spice
