Are you planning on showing your belly or will you wear a one-piece? My parents have a lake house that we spend pretty much every weekend at and I can't decide what to wear. Where is a good place to order from?
It's unlikely that I'll be in swimwear anywhere other than at my parents' house, so I will probably be rockin' the giant bare belly. I don't really care if they see my belly hanging out. If anything I already own fits (unlikely, since the ladies are GINORMOUS), I'll just wear that and save the money. I'm sure I'll need to buy something new just to fit the new T&A, but since it's just family, they can deal with my thunder thighs .
If I should happen to be in some sort of public or hotel pool situation, I'll just reassess then. If I'm feeling body confident (which I am right now, for just about the first time in my life), then I'll probably still rock the bikini. Why hide it if I feel good about it, right?
I have worn a bikini with the past two pregnancies and will do the same with this one. I just buy a size up, something kinda cheap like at Target. I don't feel super hot, but whatever. I am not into covering my huge belly with stretchy, shiny fabric.
I usually wear a coverup over it or at least over my thighs.
Last time I was able to rock my regular bikinis, fingers crossed for that again but I bet as I get well into July light sun dresses will be over the bikini. Im good if people don't stare, once I feel like everyone is staring I get self conscious. That's the only downside to a bikini while pregnant - everyone wants to look at the belly. I'm guilty of it too!
Going to FL on Sunday and just bought a tankini online at Old Navy.
TTC since 2009 started going to RE 5/2011:
Polyp removed/hypothyriod 6/2011
7/2011 IUI#1 w/ 150 Follistim/Ovidrel trigger BFN
8/2011 IUI#2 w/225 Follistim/Ovidrel trigger BFN
10/2011 IUI#3 w/300 Follistim/Ovidrel trigger (BFP)
beta #1: 195 beta#2: 502
7/2013 Back to RE because my uterus is OLD
I live in FL, and will rock my bikini...and will post-baby birth too. Even when I was super heavy -- like 30 lbs heavier than my prebaby body- I was confident enough to wear my 2 piece, and I detest having wet lycra on my body.
Warning
No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
I got this one piece from motherhood for $35 - its pretty cute on and it actually has good support for my boobs, which is rare for me in a bathing suit. I just can't do my regular bikini with my massive, pasty-white belly...
I haven't worn a two piece since 7th grade.... so a one piece for sure
I'm having a really hard time finding a skirted one piece maternity suit though, so I may have to skip the pool at my parents for July.
It's usually not warm enough to go in before then anyway, and who knows how I'll feel at that point
If you're comfy in a two piece, show the belly!!!
I got a skirted bottom from Target and really really like it! I paired it with a tankini and it pretty much looks like a one-piece. It's Liz Lange and online-only I believe!
Today was the last day of summer here (we go by the months not by equinoxes) and I think there was all of two days of beach/pool suitable weather in three months. The last few years would have been 90% or more days suitable for beach or pool, so it's certainly wierd weather. At least though it meant I didn't have to think about swimwear though
I have 2 maternity bathing suits from Motherhood Maternity from my last 2 pregnancies. If they fit, I'll be wearing them. Otherwise, I'll be buying another one from there.
Two piece bikini! I think my body is much more beautiful with less clothes on. But beware, i was told that the skin on our bellies will burn much easier because it is so stretched out. Maybe an OWT but I don't think i want to deal with a sunburn and a big bump while trying to sleep so...
bikini, lots of sunscreen and maybe a big sun hat.

Forgot to add that I will be wearing cover-ups when I'm out of the pool, I'm sure. I've always done that anyway.
