Do you ladies have any recommendations for a maternity swim suit? I didn't worry about it when I was pregnant with DS since I worked full time through the summer, and there aren't many beaches or nice lakes around us. This summer will be different though. We bought a boat last year, I'm a SAHM with a lot more time for us to vacation, and I'm due in August. I'm looking for a 1 piece with good chest support that isn't ridiculously expensive since this baby is probably our last and it won't be worn after this year.
I am going to wath this post for recs for the next time I am pregnant in the summer. When I was pregnant with Gator, I still went on our boat in a bikini and board shorts, because I got to the point where I didn't give a hoot about what people thought and we mostly boat with close friends and family if I was on the shore, I mostly wore a Long and Lean tank top over it, but then if I went swimming or was away from strangers on the lake....I was in the bikini top and board shorts.
Check out Old Navy- they're reasonably priced. They don't have a lot online right now, but it's not in season. Otherwise, I think I bought mine from Motherhood. I think it was around $35.

I just bought a maternity tankini top and paired with with my regular bikini bottoms. I felt that a one piece swimsuits would be hard to get on PG plus I had to pee a gazillion times, despite what Liz thinks I don't pee in the pool.
I bought a tankini that was many sizes too big then I took in the sides from the top of my belly up so it would fit in the bewbies too. I could still wear it all the way up to 4 days before delivery when I stopped going to the pool.
Thanks ladies! I hadn't thought about the having to pee all the time, so I'll start looking for a nice maternity tankini top that I can pair with some shorts or bottoms.
Re: Speaking of swimsuits
I didn't buy a maternity swimsuit because I felt like they all were soooo long.
I bought a larger size top in a two piece with side ruching.
