Talk about entrepreneur moms! Rebecca Matthias is the awe-inspiring
mother of four at the helm of Mothers Work, a multimillion-dollar
corporation that includes Mimi Maternity, A Pea in the Pod and
Motherhood Maternity boutiques, as well as Destination Maternity,
nationwide megastores featuring the three—plus spas for moms-to-be in
several. Now, Rebecca has written a book, 51 Secrets of Motherhood (That Your Mother Never Told You). Some of her pearls of wisdom:

• Motherhood is hot. A pregnant body is beautiful, and you should never be uncomfortable about how you look--bulging belly and all.
• Leave your master plan at the door.
  Your special breathing techniques for labor and delivery may morph into
  an emergency C-section. Take and cherish what you get and say "thank
  you."
• It takes a lifetime to become a mother.
  Motherhood is a journey, not a destination. The moment your baby is
  born you will be Mom, but you'll also have to grow into the
  role.
