So says one of the models, describing her own state.

This is a very different vision of a woman's beauty. Mohr has captured about twenty models in the later months of their pregnancies. It's a beautiful, joyous collection - these women all want to be photographed, want to be seen at their fullest. They want to be celebrated in that part of their life that is uniquely womanly. Most of them talk about how their curves are loved within their families, and are generous enough to let the viewer love them too, just a little.

These are very strong people, as Martina and especially Katrin show. They have friends or lovers, as Andrea shows. Their figures are elegant, as Andrea, Anke, Cara, and Sarah show. They are more than just bellies, as Kolja shows, they people first with other lives. But they are women, too, sometimes more womanly because of their grand figures and because of all the other changes in their bodies.

There are many collections dedicated to women's beauty. Very few of them describe the whole woman, in all the ways that she can be. The may skip early life, or later life, or giving life. Pregnancy may be the most important time of life, because every living person, even you, came from a pregnancy.

An absolutely beautiful piece of work. These women, and Mohr, have provided a wonderful gift in this book. Few things compare to the images of these women full of life. My only recommendation, more. More photos, more women from a broader spectrum of ethnic backgrounds.

This is a book of wonderfully inspiring and beautiful photography. Ralf Mohr has created a delightful portrait study of numerous young women whom, as the title implies, are at varying stages of pregnancy. His photography is impeccable, his lighting techniques extraordinary, but it is his hidden rapport with his models that is most striking. They are all amazingly comfortable before his camera. Their is no sense whatsoever of any uncertainty or timidity, nor is there any inflated sense if self-importance either. They just open up to him revealing their opulent and curvaceous forms as well as their true selves. There is a lot of feeling in this body of work and almost without exception every image is an exquisite portrait of pure feminine beauty.

Ralf Mohr studied graphic design with a concentration in photography at the "Fachhochschule" in Hanover. He has displayed his work in a large number of exhibits throughout Germany and abroad and has won countless awards and prizes for his photography. He currently lives in Hanover, Germany.

I happen to be a kind of guy whose greatest turn-on is a nude portrait of a beautiful woman who is in a sensitive period, who is expecting, in a family way, in her pregnancy in late stages. When I first opened this volume and saw the cover of smiling preggy lady I just knew that I had finally come up with the photo book of my dream! And in color! Sensual, but with a lot of "class"! This is a photo anthology created by a cameraman Ralf Mohr who himself is a fanatic lover of pregnant figures. Absolutely a great job my dear Ralf, I really admire your works. Next time perhaps, please do include shots of their most intimate female anatomy and with some ropeworks added to spice up the scenes even more!
