What do you think?

EmilyAnne26 · November 2012

DH's sister is getting married in Mexico in May, and we'll be there for a week. I want to buy a swimsuit now while all of the summer maternity sales are going on, and I keep debating whether to get a one piece or a bikini. Normally for wearing around where I live, I would wear a one piece if I were pregnant, but when I've been there before people were a lot less modest in Mexico. What do you think? I'll be about 28 weeks. Is it trashy to wear a bikini?

I don't think so, but maybe some of the non-FTMs have suggestions? I was wondering the same thing. I figured I'd buy bathing suits off season so they'd be cheaper, but I didn't know which one to go for!

I plan on rocking a bikini with a bump this year! I would totally do that in Mexico! You never know if you'll ever get the chance to have a bump in summer time again.

I was due in September with DS. I rocked a bikini at the beginning of the summer then got a maternity tankini for the end.

Just something to think about is stretch marks.

i was due in sept with dd and still rocked the bikini the whole pregnancy- you just never know. no stretch marks here.

One piece might be a bit much to get on and off during the frequent pee breaks from the pool... Nothing wrong with a bikini bump! I am going to be rocking a tankini this summer.

My last dd was an end of August baby and I wore a bikini daily. If your confident rocking it then wear it. If u think you might be uncomfy bc you care what others think then stick with the tank or one piece. I was at the beach 39 weeks pregnant and could care less if strangers didn't like what they saw. But let me state the obvious, if you wouldn't wear a bikini before you were preg, then I wouldn't start now. Kwim

I have a tankini that I bought when pregnant with DS and I replaced the bottoms with a skirted bathing suit bottom. I didn't like the way the one piece I tried on felt on my belly--too much tension/pressure. The tankini was the prefect solution for me.

PrimRoseMama · November 2012

I prefer a one piece, but that is due to my crazy stretch marks. Try different styles and see how comfortable you feel. You can always put a large T shirt over a bikini if you feel uncomfortable when you get there. Happy shopping!

I think do what ever you are comfortable with I think it's pretty common for women to wear a bikini these days but what do I know lol we are going to a wedding in February which is in St Thomas if my bump looks cute I am totally wearing a bikini I will be around 1920 weeks. MIL already asked if I would wear something like that I said absolutely I am sure she will be uncomfortable but not her place to tell me

I wore maternity tankinis last pregnancy. Loved them.

Do the bikini and a cute cover - if at anypoint you feel uncomfortable you could just slip that on

ZacksBride · November 2012

last pregnancy i wore a bikini the entire summer. i think i was 37 weeks when summer ended. i didnt have any issues with wearing a bikini pregnant.

RunningGal900 · November 2012

I wore my regular bikini at 26 weeks when I was pregnant with DS. I didn't have a huge bump then and I refused to spend $ on a suit that I would only wear that one time. Since I'm due later this time I will likely buy a tankini, but that's just for my comfort in chasing around a toddler too. If you can rock a bikini, I say go for it.

CutieGirlLissie · November 2012

I think I'm going to go the bikini route (unless I get crazy stretch marks, then I'll reconsider). But I don't think i'm going to get a totally skimpy string bikini...

EmilyAnne26 · November 2012

Thanks for all the input ladies! I think I'm going to go with the bikini. I didn't get stretch marks with my first....so I'm keeping my fingers crossed I don't with this one either!

This also. You never know if you'll get stretch marks or not---which is a reason I'd look into a tankini just in case.

I think big bumps in bikinis are the cutest things ever! Go for it!!!

amylianne · November 2012

Rock the bump!
We got married in Mexico in May, it was awesome. But, you may not have as much pool time as you think. we had rain each morning and then great afternoons. Either way, You will have so much fun!!
