XP: what are we doing about bathing suits?

What are you doing about bathing suits this summer?I am from Florida and we are going home next week. I put on my bikinis this morning and I have porno boobs. They definitely won't work.At first I thought I would just buy a few new tops and just rock the bottoms that I have, but by late afternoon my belly starts to puff up. It's (obvs) all bloat, but it's not cute. Maybe a one piece is in order?I just don't know what to do since it's so early in the summer and so early in my pregnancy. I want to be able to have something that will work through Labor Day. What are you ladies planning on doing?

    I was so uncomfortable at the pool last week and I usually love going.  I've decided to wear strapless cover ups all summer.  Either that or I'll have to purchase bathing suit tops from the stripper store.

    I live in FL too and at least for my own pool I'll be in a bikini or nothing lol.

    For the beach I may get a one piece..there are some nice supportive ones.   Or just rock my preggy belly in  a two piece and get a more supportive top.

    We are going on a cruise next month so I bought a maternity top at Target tonight. I tried it on and it wasn't huge just a little "flowy". I think it will be very comfortable and may even fit better by next month.

    I got a tankini. Still a two piece but covers the not so bump that looks like a bloat! Lol

    For now I am doing a one piece.  I had the same issues with my bikinis that you are having.  The bloat is note cute...and even my tankini shows off the bloat.  So, one piece it is!

    I just spent a week at the lake house and hoped to find some sort of maternity suit, but I had no luck so I had to squeeze into my size 12 one piece that I have had for about 3 years.  It was not comfortable on the belly.  :(  I guess I should get a 2 piece or something.

    Im trying to figure ourt what to do about a bathing suit also! We are going on a short beach trip in 2 weeks with some friends.. We havent told anyone im expecting yet.. So im stumped on what to do about a bathing suit.. I thought about buying a maternity one so it would be kinda loose in the stomach. but i dunno!!

    I just ordered a cute one piece from Old Navy.  I find that tankini's dont work on me.  I dont like how the top floats up esp on a maternity one where you aren't filling it out fully yet in the tummy region.
    Yeah...my pics were so old. I got 3 kids. Nuff said. :)

    I went out and bought a couple tankinis for the summer (Old Navy and Marshall's, so didn't have to spend a fortune!) because I have the same problem with the bloat. No porn-star boobs quite yet, but I wasn't comfortable in my normal 2-piece suits because of this belly. So I figure the tankinis should last through the summer... since I'll only be 18 weeks by September, and I barely even had a bump by then with Lyla.

    ETA - If my belly actually looked like a baby belly, I'd be fine with bikinis! But for now it's just squishy bloat...sigh.

    I look very PG already, so I just got a maternity tankini. I look gigantic in it, but it works!!

    Maybe look for a bigger top?? I don't know! My huge boobs wouldn't fit in my bikini top either!! LOL!

    I had to turn in my bikini because I have "porno boobs" already, too.  I rocked my halter top tankini for memorial day, but my neck was hurting from the weight of my boobs.  I might want to try to find something with thicker shoulder straps to help with the support.  And I already have a little belly bloat, so I will be sticking to a tankini until next summer!

    I wore my pre-pregnancy tankini at 30w with baby #1 - it had strings on the side that shortened/lengthened it, so it worked out pretty well. As for the porno boobs - I've always had them. Halter tops with a thicker underband work wonders!
