Bathing suit WWYD?

angelakh · March 2012

We are going on vacation on the 19th. We will be in Orlando and plan to spend part of one of our days chilling by the pool. I will be 13 weeks along. I doubt I will be showing too much, but I doubt my current suits will work. I think a maternity suit at this point will look just as bad as stuffing myself in one of my current ones. So, do I buy a suit I will wear maybe one time as a transition? I found a cute swim dress type suit that I think would work, but come summer and swim season, I will be visibly pregnant and it won't work for any length of time. Uggh - part of me thinks I should just get a cute sun dress and sit by the pool watching everyone else have fun ::end pity party::

I had a tankini that was a little too big pre pregnancy and was able to use that through both of my pregnancies. Maybe get one that's a touch big and hope it's usable throughout?

What type of suits do you have? I hate buying them, so I wouldn't bother with a transition suit. Maybe one of those vintage-y one piece suits? I've seen sundresses with less fabric, but they are still very flattering and trendy!

I think tankini would work. I wore a regular (not maternity) tankini when I was around 32 weeks pregnant with DD and it fit me fine. My belly just pushed out the top and showed a little underneath it.

I have a tankini now that would be the least obnoxious, but still look a size too small in the top and middle. I am not due until the end of September, so hopefully I can get away with only one maternity suit. I carried DD everywhere and never had a cute bump or really any bump - I just looked overweight. I am dreading spending the summer in a bathing suit.
