The latest issue of Elle features a nude and very pregnant Jessica Simpon on its cover. The singer/fashion designer is clearly channeling Demi Moore in the pose. Moore was one of the first celebs to bear it all while expecting. When the issue hit news stands in 1991, many were outraged as they felt the nude form of a pregnant woman made some uncomfortable. Moore paved the way for other female celebs who wanted to do the same. Over the years, everyone from Britney Spears to Italian actress Monica Bellucci have showed the public that they are unashamed of their pregnant bodies.

While, feeling sexy during pregnancy is still something many women struggle with, celeb cover-girls that have fearlessly embraced their pregnant bodies are an inspiration for many. Here are 8 celebrities who have graced the covers of high profile magazines while expecting.
