This is the first time I'll be in my 2nd tri during summer and am going back and forth between a 1 piece suit or a bikini.... I am a little self conscious and am not quite sure what others will think. What will/do you wear to the pool?
-
I did a maternity tankini when i was pregnant over the summer but I was also late 2nd into 3rd trimester.
-
Bikini, Always!
-
I also wore a tankini, but I had a weird looking outie and I wasnt a huge fan of my linea nigra either. Most ppl look super cute in a bikini, but I was not one of them.
-
I have a maternity tankini. If I owned a bikini I wouldn't mind wearing it though.
-
I'm due in September and was thinking of just using the bikinis I have. I really am only going to be swimming at my IL's. Is the bump offensive?
-
I was never a bikini wearer to begin with, so I for sure always choose 1 piece. Although I have worn the full tankinis that cover everything before! I like those a lot! But with the amount of stretch marks that I've gotten this pregnancy, no one wants to see this body in a bikini!! LOL
-
I wore a bikini once this pregnancy. I only thought about if it would fit and totally forgot that my belly would be hanging out. If I had remembered and had more plans to wear it I would probably do a tankini once my rash guard didn't fit.
-
I'm going on vacation in 2 weeks and I plan on bringing a bikini and a maternity suit (I think it's a tankini). Considering I like to cover up my bump now, I'll probably stick with the tankini.
-
I think if you can wear a bikini before you are pregnant, then it's cute when you are pregnant. I was no where near being in bikini shape before I was pregnant and will be wearing a maternity tankini top with my normal bottoms.
-
I wore my regular tankini and pulled the top up over my belly once I was in the water.
-
If I owned a bikini that fit I'd happily wear it, but finding one for my huge boobs is hard enough when I'm not pregnant.
-
Bikini or tankini!
-
@sarac: Same here! I just laugh at most bikini tops that wouldn't even cover a tiny part of my boobs!
-
I will do everything in my power to avoid wearing a bathing suit this summer (but I'm not a huge pool/beach person anyway)
-
Bikini! One piece is too suffocating for me!
I wore bikinis on our babymoon at nearly 29 weeks a cool wks ago! Wore my prepreg bottoms w a couple new tops I got in my massive pregnant boob size!
-
bikini. that's the best time to rock it i feel actually!
-
Bikini! I feel like a one-piece would be so uncomfortable!
-
Lasts summer I wore a bikini while pregnant. Although did have to buy a larger size than normal since my chest was so much bigger.
-
I plan to wear my bikini this weekend on my babymoon! 28 weeks. No linea negra or stretch marks. I feel cute, and DH thinks I look good, so screw strangers!
-
I was very very pregnant over the summer (end of July baby) and the only time we went to the beach was with dhs grandmother and brothers, so I definitely felt more comfortable in a maternity tankini (and some bigger bottoms I already owned).
This time I'll be second trimester, so I guess the cutest bump stage. I might consider a bikini if my regular tops fit and my bump looks cute. Lately I've been loving the rash guard when at the beach with a toddler though, so I'll see how long that fits.
-
Bikini! This was with LO. This time I'm in the third tri, but I'll still rock a bikini!
-
I wore a bikini at 25 weeks.
-
I prefer bikinis because I can get a better fit and support for my large boobs. I imagine that will be even more important as this pregnancy progresses, so I'll stick with my bikinis as long as they fit.
-
I had this same dilemma. I bought a tankini top at thyme and then a bottom at Walmart because I hated how the ones at thyme cut me off
-
Bikini because I didn't want to buy a new swimsuit, but I had a winter pregnancy so only had a few times when I needed to wear one anyway.
-
Wore my bikini on my babymoon last year at 22 weeks. Felt great, but was a little self-conscious about taking the top off (it was a beach in Europe where topless is NBD) due to the crazy vein action going on. DH encouraged me to go for it (as I had pre-pregnancy) and when I did, it was very freeing. You just need to own your pregnant.body. We are not the first pregnant ladies to wear swim suits, and if people have a problem with it they just don't need to look, right? Besides, there is nothing more beautiful than growing a baby!
-
Tankini top from Motherhood and non-maternity bottoms. I have a massive muffin top this time, so I couldn't buy the bottoms that came with the suit.
-
I wore both!
-
I wore a bikini at 27-28 weeks (last summer) and I felt great!
-
Both!
-
I bought a one piece maternity swim suit for our beach trip this weekend. I was worried about a tankini riding up thanks to my big belly since I am 31 weeks. Can't wait to float in some water!
-
if i were pregnant bikini! i loved my belly! the only time i ever have in my life.
-
Bikini! Like @Mrs. Bee, I actually feel a lot less self-conscious of my stomach while sporting a baby belly!
