is it okay to wear a swim suit

danielleorren · May 2014

im 23 weeks and my daughter loves swimming but im hesitant about getting a swim suit cause i just feel it would show to much but dont want to miss out on the fun stuff this summer

LindsayMae84 · May 2014

Of course it's ok! If you don't want to show much get a one piece or a tank.

^ this. Girl, rock it.

JustCricket · May 2014

hmmm. idk if they'd make maternity swim suits if they weren't okay...

Of course it is, you're not the first woman to get pregnant in the summer!

Sounds like a sound investment to me.

Man if I could find a cheap bikini top that would fit my newly expanded bust, you best believe id be wearing it all summer.

gawd. I tried on one of my old tops... and they didn't even cover my newly ginormous nips/aereola. I didn't realize how much bigger the had gotten until that moment.

Why wouldn't it be okay to wear a swimsuit? Of course it is okay!!

My life. I realized my bras were tight so I went to try on new ones and they're like "oh you need a fitting?" So I thought "why not?" And then realized I went from Cs to DDDs and nearly peed myself.

I plan to wear my new maternity tankini to the pool tomorrow

I've also bought target sports bras in the past to use as a swim top, since my ta-tas are larger than life. I just wear a swim bottom I already have with them. Cheap and comfy!

I bought a top at target for 19.99

mcstrepp · June 2014

Yes! I bought a maternity tankini. Can't wait to rock it to the beach next weekend!

poptart109 · June 2014

I bought a top at old navy and shorts bottoms at target. It's a regular 2 pc and I wore it to the Disney Resort this weekend. I figure this may be the last time I can wear one without having stretch marks. And I'm proud of my belly so I'm going to show it off.

Do it! I personally hate swimming but love sitting by the pool soaking up the sun but if I ever did want to swim I would get in a suit no problem. I wish I was brave like the celebrities I see wearing the bikinis pregnant .

Oh hell yes girl!! Go get yourself a suit and splash splash away...no denying water fun and that's an order! I just bought these two at Target...two tankini tops and one pair of black bottoms...all are 10% off in store FYI. They were like $24 for each top before discount. I'm waaaaay squishier & a whole lot rounder but seriously...who gives a hoot!?! I'm gonna swim darn it! Sorry if it posted pics twice...cell being a pain in my arse.

Love it! I got the same black tankini top and just wore them with a purple or turquoise bottom that I already had. I feel like I could wear it as a regular cute top for going out too! I just might whenever we have a heat wave

mavelle93 · June 2014

Totally acceptable. I've been rocking a 2 piece and no one has said anything bad (that I know of) -- was a little body conscious at first but heck, this is the time when you can put on a bathing suit and it's acceptable (and cute!) for us to have a belly. Just remember the sunscreen

Try Old Navy. I got a nice bikini from there with an XXL top .

conradraging · June 2014

I have found that I was pushing my luck with target bikini tops before they grew. The old navy idea is worth looking into though, thanks!

danielleorren · June 2014

Ahhhh... The plot thickens.

Hells yeah! Embrace that bump!

deviousmuse · June 2014

After I had a swimsuit meltdown before DH and I went to Destin for a weekend with my work, he bought me 3 suits online by Preggo. Really cute options, great quality, and they understand the need for supportive bands around the rib cage for the hugemongous ta-tas.

I will happily rock my swimsuit bump allllllllll summer long!

I just bought a new bikini at Old Navy today. Not a maternity suit, not a one piece, not a tankini. A plain old super cute hot pink bikini a size larger than I normally wear. Yesterday I wore one of my old bikinis to a community pool. No one seemed offended, no one gasped or barfed.

Hahaha I just pictured someone gasping and barfing all at once.

I for one am also aiming for a bikini body....by putting my body...in a bikini

Compound words can be hard. Here is some help for you. Let us know if you need further explanation, I am sure S14 would be happy to provide pictures, diagrams and or additional definitions to help you grasp this difficult concept.

a garment worn for swimming.
synonyms: bathing suit, (swim/swimming) trunks, bikini; swimwear
"bring your swimsuit to the party"

I'm crying. bravo!

I took both a black halter bikini and a black halter tankini on my babymoon and I can honestly say that I was more comfortable on the beach in the bikini. And I didn't get any weird reactions. I was one of three pregnant women I saw that week at the resort. All three of us were rocking bikinis and none of us were super-skinny ladies either. I say wear what you are most comfortable in.
