Is it too soon to buy a Bathing Suit?

whatwedding? · April 2009

i'm only about 8 - 9 weeks but all the cute selections are out now. I have NO idea what I'm going to look like come July and wanted something versatile I could possibly wear even when not pregnant next year.

has anyone bought a suit this early on? Do you buy a regular suit and go up? a maternity suit?

so confused. The pool at my parents place will open in a few weeks and I'll be the lady all bulbous walking around stuff that doesn't fit her.

i may add that i look, in my opinion, like i'm 4 months pregnant already, all bloaty and puffy and poofy and stuff. Ick!

I ordered a maternity suit online 3 weeks ago b/c it was cute and affordable. I decided not to wait because then I wouldn't be able to find one. I ordered it in my regular size but it's maternity style. We have a beach vacation planned for August so it should work for that. It's a tankini style and it fits but the tummy part is huge right now.

I am waiting, but like you said all the cute ones are out right now. So I really have no idea.

Congrats WW!

I bought a cute maternity one with DS that I wore afterwards. I think the key is finding one for that purpose. I got a tankini and it worked well for both.

I bought a maternity one last year and was about a month behind where I am now... it was nice to have the extra room but it was definitely too big. This year, it should fit me just perfectly... I hope

You may be able to find regular tankini styles that are long enough to cover your belly... I stuck to the maternity tankini style. A one piece is even more tedious to get in and out of while you are pregnant than when you aren't... so I don't recommend going that way.

i bought the cutest maternaty bathing suit wth my daughter. it was black and tied in the back and around the neck. but it was nong enough to cover my bell. i wore that thing upuntil this last summer. lol i say buy one just make sure it had ties so its ajustable to whatever size you are at that point.

Macy's has some super cute tankini ones right now. ?I bought one yesterday in my regular size, because I feel like there is room to spare over the belly part and I definitely won't feel comfortable with my belly hanging out once I actually start to show (not that there is ANYTHING wrong with this though - I just don't feel comfortable). ?I definitely feel the same way though - very bloated and not feeling like I'm only 9 weeks! ?Good luck!!
