Bikini at 22 weeks?

I'm a petite person and normally wear a bikini when swimming. We are taking DD to the community pool tomorrow and I'm on the fence about wearing mine. I have a maternity suit my BFF gave me but hate it. Im fortunate that my bikini still fits and covers my butt andboobs, I don't have any stretch marks yet, and my belly button is still normal looking. I know I shouldn't care what people think but I am having trouble with feeling self conscious because I feel like people will be staring or judging. With DD I never encountered this dilemma bc if how the seasons fell.

So I guess my question is... regardless of whether you personally would wear the bikini or not, do you think it's weird for a noticeably pregnant woman to wear one?

  • Not weird, I wore mine out to the backyard to sunbathe last weekend, it looked fine. Rock that bikini! I cannot fathom anyone thinking it's 'weird'.

    If you're comfortable in it, wear it. I think it's pretty common to wear bikini's while pregnant, especially as early as 22 weeks.

  • Nope! I wish I could wear one, but my belly just isn't the right shape, along with the rest of my body. More power to you if you can! I admire those women for embracing their bodies :D
  • Rock it, momma!!!

  • Girl u better rock that bump!!
  • I approve. Bikini it up.
  • I think it's cute. I wore one last weekend in Palm Springs and I didn't have anyone give me rude looks, in fact people acknowledged and smiled. I say go for it!!

     

  • I'll be wearing a bikini the whole pregnancy. I did last time, and will this time as well.

    I wore one at the beach last week. I sensed that my MIL did not approve but I didn't care. No strange looks from anyone else.

  • I will likely have to buy a new bikini to accommodate the boobs, but I am planning on wearing one. I have a maternity suit that I actually do like and find flattering that I will wear sometimes because when I'm chasing DS it's easier, but I hate tankinis and think that one pieces make my legs look fat, so I'd rather wear a bikini.

  • Def go for it!! I think it's cute if your built for a bikini and don't have the stretch marks. I would in a heartbeat.
  • Rock the bikini! If you get a weird look then just tell them to suck it.

    Just make sure to double up on sunblock. My belly burns much quicker pregnant.

  • Flaunt that bump! Petite builds almost ALWAYS look cute pregnant so I'm sure you will be fine.

  • I'm 21 weeks and just got back from a week in Egypt. I wore a bikini everyday x
  • I'm going out of town for a 'Girls Weekend' next Saturday. There WILL be pool time involved and I WILL be rocking a bikini at 20 weeks with a considerably large tummy (no stretchmarks...woo hoo)!!

    I'll be rocking one this summer. I'm nervous about this first time around cause I look more fat than Prego right now. I'm still in the awkward phase.
