Britney Spears
In 2006, pop star Britney Spears posed pregnant for Harper's Bazaar with a variety of glamorous accessories, from a crystal necklace to the mink coat.
Kourtney Kardashian
Sure, her sister Kim's butt may have "broken" the internet, but we think it was far more courageous for Kourtney Kardashian to pose nude pregnant. In fact, she said she'd only pose nude when she was expecting, saying, "It’s such an amazing feeling … this is what my body was meant to do."
Cindy Crawford
In 1999, supermodel Cindy Crawford bared her sexy baby bump for W magazine. She was seven months along with her first child, and gorgeous as ever. The cover line even jokes "Move over, Demi," in reference to the original groundbreaker (see our next slide).
Demi Moore
Ah, Demi Moore -- the original trendsetter who bared her pregnant curves for photographer Annie Liebowitz in Vanity Fair. At the time of its release in 1991, some critics called the cover "vulgar" while others applauded it as empowering. It goes down in history as one of the most iconic pregnancy images of all time.
Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey posed nude while pregnant with twins in 2011, hitting a new kind of high point her career. Her reason: "[I] didn't want to miss an opportunity to document a once-in-a-lifetime experience."

Jessica Simpson
In 2012, a pregnant Jessica Simpson graced the cover of Elle without clothes -- but even by this point, it was considered risqué at a Safeway grocery store in Arizona, which covered the image with cardboard after customers complained.
Claudia Schiffer
Supermodel Claudia Schiffer always looks amazing, and as this 2010 cover of German Vogue makes clear, pregnancy is no exception.
Christina Aguilera
Pop singer Christina Aguilera has bared her pregnant body twice: in 2008, she appeared scantily clad on the cover of Marie Claire. In 2014, Aguilera took it all off for V Magazine while expecting her second child.

Kerri Walsh Jennings
Olympic superstars have also stripped down with buns in the oven: in 2013 volleyball player Kerri Walsh Jennings posed pregnant for the cover of ESPN magazine. The magazine also features "after" photos of her with her baby, shot two months later. Surprisingly, the first pregnancy shoot didn't scare her "because I felt almost like I was in costume," she told the press. "But for the second, I was two and a half months out from having a baby. I'm supposed to be tight and toned and strong, but I have a lot more work to do."
Monica Bellucci
In 2004 Italian actress Monica Bellucci posed nude for Italian Vanity Fair to publicize the legalization of embryo research in her country. Then, in 2010 at the ripe old age of 45, she posed nude again while pregnant with her second child. Brava, Monica!
