Revealing her secrets of happy life during pregnancy, Graham said, “I was gaining weight rapidly. And I felt alone. And the one piece of advice that my stylist, Jordan Foster, gave me was, make pregnant friends and none of my friends was in relationships, let alone pregnant. And now I have nine pregnant friends,” said Ashley Graham in a media interview. The experts believe that friendships with expectant mothers are highly helpful in boosting the confidence of a pregnant woman as it provides them a platform for prolonged positive communication and share their feelings. Besides, maternity leaves provide them a lot of time to share with. As anonymity in urban life is increasing, the scope of communication in personal and social life is decreasing. It is suggested that the expectant mothers make pregnant friends. 

The 32-year-old model said, “Throughout my pregnancy so far I've gained 50lbs. And the best part is, I don't care, I have never felt better, and I am so thankful that my body and son have allowed me to be as mobile and flexible as I have been.” She further added, “I need my alone time, but when I do go out, I'm usually the life of the party. Now all anyone wants to talk to me about is being pregnant, there's just this camaraderie.” She further added, “I've always had control over my body--when everyone else wanted to dictate what it should be, I took full control over it--but I had this life inside of me saying, it’s not yours anymore, it's mine. And, you have to just succumb. And I felt like I didn't have anyone to talk to.”
