Supermodel Gisele Bundchen is expecting her first child with hubby Tom Brady — although you would never suspect she was pregnant by looking at this sexy photo!
London Fog CEO Dari Marder admits the photo has been “retouched” to ‘respect her privacy during this wonderful and personal time in her life. Nobody is sexier or more beautiful than Gisele Bundchen in nothing but a London Fog trench coat, even with her visible baby bump.

Although Gisele was photographed while pregnant, most of the shots have been retouched to respect her privacy during this wonderful and personal time in her life.”

Maternity travel tips: Clothes to pack
July 24, 2009
Are you planning a summer vacation, but not sure what to pack now that you are pregnant? Follow our tips to stay looking stylish and feeling comfortable when you are on the go!
Dresses/skirts: When you are traveling, wearing a long, flowing skirt or dress, such as a maxi dress, is a comfortable choice. Jeans can often constrict your belly making you feel uncomfortable after a period of time.
Tops: Wear and pack sleeveless or short sleeved tops to account for those pregnancy-induced hot flashes.
Lightweight jacket: Depending on the climate you are traveling to, it is a good idea to bring along a lightweight jacket or jean jacket to pair with your short sleeved tops.
Shoes: Pack stylish, sensible shoes that will go the distance, such as gladiator sandals or ballet flats. Of course, if you are planning a night out with your man (and don’t plan to do a lot of walking) it wouldn’t hurt to bring a pair ofsexy, strappy heels.
Undergarments: Make sure you pack plenty of underwear that is cut to accomadate for your growing belly. Depending on how far along you are in your pregnancy, you may need to buy larger bras for support and comfort.
