Who is rocking the bikini still and who is strutting around in a one piece? Any suggestions on where to shop? Everything I've seen online is so blah, where are all the fun patterns and colors! I fell like as soon as you're pregnant everyone wants to put you in black or navy. Booooring!
Re: Swim Suits?
On a side note, I need to make sure these new boobs fit in my tops. That could be potentially problematic!
Yes!!!! Was just about to start a thread about this. I'm not going to the beach for another month and I'll be about 20 weeks at that point. I'm going to bring some bikinis but just in case of a crisis of confidence I was thinking about getting one of the Jcrew suits with ruching (a la https://www.jcrew.com/browse/single_product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT<>prd_id=845524441862654&FOLDER<>folder_id=2534374302093476&nav_type=PRMNAV&bmUID=ljFdnNC) and hoping that the ruching opens up enough to accommodate the bump.
Is this an awful idea? Clearly this is my first baby...
@mrsmaryk2016 check out these guys too!!! All with ruching and all are 30% off this weekend (music to my cute-maternity-clothes-are-so-damn-expensive ears):

ellie8816 I love J Crew swimsuits and these look so cute ! When you get them , can you please let us know if these one pieces stretch well with pregnancy belly ?
Edit: I found some cheaper versions of these one-pieces here : https://factory.jcrew.com/womens-clothing/SwimCoverups/one_piece_swimsuits/PRDOVR~E6962/E6962.jsp?color_name=mint-cream

somewhat comfortable in it - which is very hard for me to say about a bathing suit!

I was considering getting one since they were so cute, but I couldn't justify since I'd just bought some pants and I'm looking for some shirts. Maybe in a month or two when I really don't fit my current suits anymore.

He is probably just curious and needs guidance on what's appropriate. I'm not sure I'd change what I wear just to avoid that much needed conversation.

I thought buying a bathing suit was the worst thing. Now try it being pregnant. :-(
up and made sure the bottoms have ties. I'm hoping this works for our baby moon in August!
I'm a hair under 6' and don't want crotch floss. Thanks!
I've resorted to tankinis because these are all expensive.
I can't do a bikini, nobody wants to see this belly! I bought a maternity tankini online from Kohl's as well as bought a size bigger of a tankini from Target. I like the one from Kohl's better because it accentuates the "bump" a bit more. The one from Target will look better once my belly gets bigger. I like the idea of the Tankini because then I can always roll it up to get a little tan on my belly when I am around people I am comfortable with seeing this jelly mess!
Finally gotten around to trying on my regular bikinis with my new bod and no way is my new tush going to fit in any of the bottoms I already own. I don't understand how my butt got 60% bigger and I'm only 16 weeks, but what can ya do.
@zoefer @mrsmaryk2016 here are the Jcrew one-piece reviews, as promised:
-https://www.jcrew.com/browse/single_product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT<>prd_id=845524441852053&FOLDER<>folder_id=2534374302093476&bmUID=ljFdfLQ: didn't end up ordering because the D cup was final sale (WTF, J crew??? Bathing suits, final sale? Someone at their headquarters is laughing maniacally at all the people who didn't notice this and tried to return)
-https://www.jcrew.com/browse/single_product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT<>prd_id=845524441847331&FOLDER<>folder_id=2534374302093476&nav_type=PRMNAV&bmUID=ljFdnNG: Very cute if strapless suits are your thing. I am normally (pre-pregnancy) a 4/6 in Jcrew clothes. I ordered a 6 and and 8 and the 8 fit everywhere but the bust, which was big. The 6 fit well too. Gives REALLY great upper thigh coverage and there's abundant ruching on the stomach i.e. room for baby to grow. I ordered this one, like all the others, in black, but I think I may return it for a brighter color.

I ordered this in a 6 and an 8 and am keeping the 8 for two reasons. One, I have a long torso and the 6 went straight up my hoo-hah. Two, the 6 kind of smushed my boobs down awkwardly, a problem I didn't have with the 8. Just generally a very sexy but modest, French-looking suit which will look fabulous with a sarong.
I also ended up trying this guy: https://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/Swim2/OnePieces/PRDOVR~E7183/E7183.jsp in an 8 and a 10 - people in the reviews on the site mentioned it ran small. The 10 was a little too big, and the 8 fit, but the suit in generally showed a medium amount of side boob, which I'm sure will be a massive amount of side boob by the end of the summer. Also, the back was low cut, which is very cute but not for a pregnant lady who just discovered a thick layer of back fat that sprang up out of nowhere a week ago.
Hope this helps!!!
