"What Pregnancy Looked Like When Women Wore Corsets: 19 Pics"

Fascinating. There are some stunning paintings.

And now I know why some women wore corsets while sleeping.

The article starts with women from the early 17th century and ends with the 1950s.

About the Edwardian period:

"...At this time women were also beginning to be seen in public more frequently when they were expecting, but it remained a novelty, and to some people, it was tantamount to going out with a big sign saying 'I am disgusting. I had [intercourse]' and so any woman going out with a baby bump would have to put up with at least some sideways glances and raised eyebrows.

"This must have been so difficult. On one hand, you were expected, as a wife, to provide 'the comforts of marriage' to your husband and give him children and omen who were unable to do this were made to feel like they were failures. Yet as soon as you found yourself up-the-duff, you were simultaneously congratulated for reproducing for your husband and condemned for being a woman who had allowed a man to defile her."
