I am undecided this time, but will likely have to go the maternity route as I will be huge by summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-maternity-swim-suit/page/2#post-2153426 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 04:01:38 +0000 shopaholic 2153426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wore regular bikinis first pregnancy but only first half of pregnancy. Bought a maternity one-piece on sale for this summer when I should be hugely preggers. Feeling a bit more modest this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-maternity-swim-suit#post-2151775 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 19:55:15 +0000 StbHisMrs 2151775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did, and I just listed both on the classifieds. I wore them on our boat when I was about 30 - 35 weeks pregnant, I really didn't want to cram myself into a 2 piece (no way the bottoms would've fit!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-maternity-swim-suit#post-2151765 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 19:45:24 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2151765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kind of. I got a maternity swimsuit top from a friend and I'll be pairing it with bottoms that I already own. But I didn't actually spend any money on anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-maternity-swim-suit#post-2150781 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 06:25:32 +0000 blackbird 2150781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: you look so cute!!' And seriously, there is no "fitting into something a size larger" for me, ever!!!! The maternity ones have huge boob areas, so there's always that! Even maternity isn't long enough for me in the third tri!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-maternity-swim-suit#post-2150776 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 06:20:44 +0000 lamariniere 2150776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore a bikini that I alreaady had. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-maternity-swim-suit#post-2150720 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 23:05:03 +0000 sapphire 2150720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but the last time I swam was around. 22 weeks. I just wore the bikini I already had. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-maternity-swim-suit#post-2150719 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 23:03:32 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2150719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought a bikini, one size up.</p> <p>We are going on a babymoon to mexico soon and I got a couple bikinis that are pretty supportive. but my boobs are smaller pregnant than when I'm nursing! So the bigger bikinis will get lots of wear post baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-maternity-swim-suit#post-2150705 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 21:50:49 +0000 Torchwood 2150705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got one and I love it! I'm actually rather sad that it's maternity because I want to keep it. Maybe it would still work without making me look pregnant when I'm not. It's off amazon, so I was worried about the fit, but it's great. (Picture is from about 12 weeks, I don't have a recent one.) </p> [attach=3674/15/nn4ykp.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-maternity-swim-suit#post-2150661 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 20:47:18 +0000 akcd 2150661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 14 weeks, so I'll be pregnant allll summer - I just bought a maternity suit at Old Navy because they are 40% and I figure it will be good to have one at the ready. Old Navy is my go-to for bathing suits anyways! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-maternity-swim-suit#post-2150658 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 20:45:38 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2150658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've already bought two tanks from Motherhood ($24) and bottoms from Target.

It was cute and comfortable. I didn't spend that much so it was fine for the few times I used it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-maternity-swim-suit#post-2150556 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 19:22:15 +0000 mrsjyw 2150556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: so cute!

So it was better for me to get a couple of one pieces. One from PITP and one from Old Navy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-maternity-swim-suit#post-2150551 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 19:16:53 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2150551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did and it was awful. Trying to debate whether I want a one piece this year, or if I should just get a bigger tankini top. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-maternity-swim-suit#post-2150544 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 19:09:35 +0000 matador84 2150544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope I wore a bikini and I was huge in summer since I had a late aug due date., </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-maternity-swim-suit#post-2150543 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 19:08:33 +0000 Mrs. J 2150543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I wore a bikini. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-maternity-swim-suit#post-2150518 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 18:43:54 +0000 raspberries 2150518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I planned to wear one of my regular two piece bathing suits, but I didn't anticipate on my boobs growing as much as they did. I just bought a maternity suit for our babymoon next week, and I'm so glad I did... so much more comfortable and less constricting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-maternity-swim-suit#post-2150499 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 18:30:07 +0000 regberadaisy 2150499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I looked for a flowy tankini but didn't find anything I liked. So I bought a maternity tankini from target and just used my regular swim bottoms. We have a pool so it got a ton of use! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-maternity-swim-suit#post-2150493 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 18:24:12 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2150493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got an ugly XXL tankini top from Target for sitting in the tub during labor, but that's it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-maternity-swim-suit#post-2150452 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 17:47:06 +0000 lady baltimore 2150452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents usually close their pool at the end of September. I'll be nearing 30 weeks by then. I should be able to make some of my two-piece tops and bottoms work, but I don't know what I'll do about a tank suit for lap swimming. Guess I'll wait and see how far my Speedo stretches (knowing that I'll have to get a new one for next summer). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-maternity-swim-suit#post-2150438 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 17:28:50 +0000 Meowkers 2150438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just wore my regular bikini. This was at 25 weeks and I barely had a bump so I just wore the bottoms under the bump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-maternity-swim-suit#post-2150432 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 17:18:44 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2150432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just stayed outta the pool. :P </p> <p>This time we are living at an apartment complex with a nice pool, so I might. Being due in Oct means I'll be bigger over the summer so I don't know how I'll feel about a regular swim top.. But to others who are confident enough to do it I don't see anything wrong with that either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-maternity-swim-suit#post-2150426 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 17:10:34 +0000 coopsmama 2150426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I bought this suit: <a href="http://m.target.com/p/women-s-flyaway-tankini-top-merona/-/A-15922726" rel="nofollow">http://m.target.com/p/women-s-flyaway-tankini-top-merona/-/A-15922726</a> </p> <p>Another bee recommended it to me and I really liked it for my babymoon last time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-maternity-swim-suit#post-2150419 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 17:04:52 +0000 youboots 2150419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got one size larger in the top in the suit I already had on clearance since I bought it in the fall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-maternity-swim-suit#post-2150397 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 16:41:13 +0000 HabesBabe 2150397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did-- a one piece from Motherhood. We didn't go on our babymoon until I was 37 weeks, and there was NO WAY I would fit into a flowy tankini. </p> [attach=146/15/nn4k8p.337x600.Week-37.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-maternity-swim-suit#post-2150380 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 16:23:50 +0000 JessKas 2150380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was due in August and just bought a bigger top to wear with my bikini bottoms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-maternity-swim-suit#post-2150371 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 16:17:25 +0000 shellio 2150371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I wore a ruched one piece which is now totally stretched out. We don't swim that much but I will wear that one if I need one this summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-maternity-swim-suit#post-2150367 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 16:07:21 +0000 Ree723 2150367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first LO, I just bought a bikini in a larger size to accommodate the growing chest, and wore that throughout my pregnancy. </p> <p>With LO2, I bought a maternity tankini as I was swimming every day with a one year old (we lived in the tropics of Australia where the only thing you can really do every day is go swimming!) and had a few too many close calls with indecent exposure whilst wearing a bikini, courtesy of DD1 of course! </p>
