The brainchild of Orange County, California mompreneur Lucy Williamson, Belly 9 offers long-sleeved tees as well as tanks that feature messages and designs celebrating the many moods of pregnancy. From the darling and demure “Bellylicious” tee, to the tongue-in-cheek “Counting Down the Days” featuring an apropos martini glass, to the honesty of the “I Heart Epidurals” design or the simple “Au Naturale” tee for the earth mama-to-be, Belly 9 offers a personality-perfect maternity shirt for every woman. Even Hollywood’s A-list loves the line, with Oscar-winner and mother of two Gwyneth Paltrow sporting the popular “Bun in the Oven” design during her first pregnancy with daughter Apple.

Belly 9 also retails several post-maternity options to get mom through that curious “transitional” phase. Ranging from comfy undies bearing messages like “Do Not Disturb” to slimming and stretchy black tees that simply read “Mama,” “Mamacita” and “MILF,” the company’s post-pregnancy styles are as comfortable and fun to wear as its signature maternity line.
