Designer Pregnancy

Blame it on the Spice Girls, All Saints, and Girl Power.

In 1998, the ultimate fashion accessory was a maternity gown and kicking sprog inside it.

Mel B, Victoria Beckham and friends all joined in the craze - appearing on stage with bumps the size of Mount Etna.

Anxious parents prayed that the fad would not spread to their daughters. But too late.

There is now a generation of babies named Liam and Brooklyn.
