Sorry- don't like it. I find dropped shoulders like that hideously unflattering.
I made the sunrise circle jacket from IWK for pregnancy, and loved it.

I'm not really crazy about the laced-up sides. I mean, if I wanted to go that way for maternity clothes, I wouldn't need any. I could just slit my regular stuff and lace it up. In any case, I wouldn't bother trying to knit myself a maternity sweater. I just know I'd lose interest for a while partway through, and then there wouldn't be enough time left to get back to it before the baby arrived.

The thing that really cracked me up, though, was the "pregnant" model. Why do I get the feeling no one involved with that photo shoot has been around a pregnant woman recently? The bottom of her uterus appears to be around her navel. It reminds me of a little kid with a pillow shoved under her shirt.

I do really like the Cuddles wrap further down on the page, though.

Not a fan of the sweater. It's just not my style, aggressively, and I think it would actually be an incredible pain to nurse in post-partum. The neck is too small to move, and the side lacing would make it a pain to pull up. Also, it appears transparent.

There is a big risk with knitted maternity wear that it will cease to fit before you finish knitting it.
