We see pictures of pregnant women all the time -- mainly celebrities, often airbrushed, only in the best couture.
But normal is always more interesting than perfect. Which is why it's fun looking at Slate's great slideshow featuring pregnant women around the world in the past 60 years.
This also reminds me that there are, like, zero pictures of my mom when she was pregnant with me or my sister. Well, maybe her face, but her body is hidden. Looking at the shots from the 60s and 70s in this slideshow gives me an idea of what she may have looked like, what with the serious weight-gain restrictions and the maternity muumuus. Maybe.
