Glad to hear from someone who is happy with their body pp! I've always been a bikini girl too. And I'm starting to see my body come back to some kind of original shape, so I'm hoping that by Summer, I can join you back in the bikini-brigade! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-swimsuit-yet#post-648454 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 18:12:27 +0000 Mrs. Pen 648454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: why can't we wear what they used to wear back in the 1920's haha! full coverage ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-swimsuit-yet#post-648440 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 18:04:32 +0000 stargal 648440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: you and me both. My bikini days are over.....maybe when these stretch marks fade. A lot more.... </p> <p>Thinking a cute one piece. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-swimsuit-yet#post-648431 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 18:01:03 +0000 HLK208 648431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I won't be in a bikini by summer (well I doubt I will) but I'm working on my pp body so we'll see! I'll probably do the same as @shopaholic: with a cute one piece. I've had stretch marks for 4 years now since having DS so they aren't a concern but I need to lose at least 20 to be comfortable if not 30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-swimsuit-yet#post-648397 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 17:43:03 +0000 Pepper 648397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually buy Target swimsuits, I really like how they fit (and can't beat the price). I have no idea what to do with my preggo belly now... I'm going to FL and will be 30 weeks but I don't want to invest in a maternity suit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-swimsuit-yet#post-648356 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 17:13:39 +0000 ladyfingers 648356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh lord. Well. We live in Florida and would like to take LO to the beach this summer. But I'm currently 6 weeks pp so... I'm thinking mumu more than bikini. </p> <p>I have a couple of ruched one pieces from target that are cute that I bought for a trip when I was 15 weeks pregnant so I might try those, they seem like they'd suck everything in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-swimsuit-yet#post-648349 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 17:09:16 +0000 Mrs. Pen 648349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will never wear a bikini for the rest of my life.</p> <p>I have the suit I bought last year and I don't mind it. It doesn't have as much bust support as I'd like but it's really ruched so it hides a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-swimsuit-yet#post-648303 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 16:39:23 +0000 prettylizy 648303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a bunch, but none that I'm thrilled about putting on... I'll likely go suit shopping before my trip in June.... hopefully for a smaller size! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-swimsuit-yet#post-648299 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 16:37:05 +0000 Ree723 648299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still wearing a bikini I bought in very early pregnancy that was a size bigger to fit the pregnancy boobs. Well, the bottoms are too big now and my boobs are still somewhat scandalous (for me, I prefer my boobs to completely contained without massive cleavage showing) as I'm still BF'ing so I'm definitely in the market for a new suit.</p> <p>I have my eye on some strapless one pieces,but then again, I've always been a bikini girl, and I am happy with the way I look so....who knows? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-swimsuit-yet#post-648276 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 16:22:49 +0000 lomom 648276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never worn a bikini. I wasn't allowed to when I lived with my parents and I don't go swimming hardly ever as an adult. The swimsuit I have is one I've had for 3 years and if I go swimming this summer, it'll be the one I wear lol, it's very ruched and will hide any lingering baby belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-swimsuit-yet#post-648270 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 16:18:35 +0000 Springtime 648270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I doubt I will make it in a bikini this summer! I'll probably buy a grandma tankini. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-swimsuit-yet#post-648268 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 16:16:18 +0000 pl0508 648268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahahahahahaha. At 8 weeks pp that's all I'm sayin </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-swimsuit-yet#post-648235 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 15:41:40 +0000 bpcmarj 648235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The one I bought last year at 8 weeks pp is way tok big now, but the tops on my old ones are way to small (went from C to DD). I think I am up for a bikini this year if I can find a good, cheap, supportive top! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-swimsuit-yet#post-648190 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 15:02:51 +0000 MamaCate 648190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got one from athleta with a gift card for our upcoming spring break trip. it is a ruched one piece and i feel like it will be comfortable to play with LO and I feel fairly confident going out in it, which is not the case with my old bikini! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-swimsuit-yet#post-648184 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 14:58:49 +0000 allison 648184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm nervous about this. I've always worn two-pieces, but I don't really foresee that happening this summer (LO is 6 weeks old now). I'll probably just get a ruched one-piece like other pp. Target had some cute ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-swimsuit-yet#post-648178 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 14:53:25 +0000 chopsuey 648178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a tankini..<br /> gahhhh.. I need to lose 20 fast so I can take my kids to the pool this summer </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-swimsuit-yet#post-648143 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 14:19:50 +0000 heffalump 648143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need to get a new suit, LO is starting swim lessons in less then two weeks. I've been putting off swim suit shopping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-swimsuit-yet#post-648123 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 13:57:58 +0000 PrincessBaby 648123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: But I think the ruffles would cover up nips! Mine were just the plain ones- so not happening these days! My headlights would be majorly ON all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-swimsuit-yet#post-648071 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 13:09:59 +0000 blackbird 648071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J crew has great two pieces. Their d cup swimsuits are very full coverage-I've always been really happy with them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-swimsuit-yet#post-648066 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 13:08:46 +0000 autumnlove 648066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: Ooh, good point about triangle tops! I always wore them before having a baby to make my chest look bigger....I probably won't need that post partum! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-swimsuit-yet#post-648061 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 13:04:21 +0000 blackbird 648061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll probably be in a tankini this summer instead of my standard bikini. I don't know if I'll go to the pool at all, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-swimsuit-yet#post-648054 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 13:01:53 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 648054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: heck no! i don't think i'll ever be able to wear a two-piece again. and the state of my pp body is depressing - i don't even want to think about summer. =/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-swimsuit-yet#post-648035 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 12:47:17 +0000 PrincessBaby 648035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: i like that one! Really cute and that mint green sherbet color is like the main IT color for spring!</p> <p>I just bought 2 halter bikinis from VS- one is neon coral/pink and the other is turquoise/yellow/white tie dye...I love them! I used to wear triangle tops prepreg but that's just inappropriate with a D cup now and my porno nipples sticking out:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-swimsuit-yet#post-648029 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 12:43:19 +0000 yin 648029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a one piece from Anthropologie after my LO was born. It was pricey but made me so much more confident in my pp body. When I was pregnant, I just rocked the bikini with my big belly. I don't know if I will be so daring this time around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-swimsuit-yet#post-648014 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 12:29:04 +0000 delight 648014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not looking forward to swim season when I'll be 8-9 months pregnant. I'll just dip my feet in this year.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-swimsuit-yet#post-648005 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 12:22:31 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 648005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>God no. What's a swimsuit? I was hoping I would never have to wear one of those for the rest of my life... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-swimsuit-yet#post-647999 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 12:18:58 +0000 photojane 647999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh...
