However, I feel like it just accentuated the I-ate-too-much-last-night look instead of looking a little pregnant. It was on sale so I'm not too upset. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-first-trimester-bathing-suit-dilemma#post-1691418 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:59:58 +0000 MOJ 1691418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And this one <a href="http://www.target.com/p/clean-water-women-s-swim-dress-assorted-colors/-/A-15026532" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/clean-water-women-s-swim-dress-assorted-colors/-/A-15026532</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-first-trimester-bathing-suit-dilemma#post-1691414 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:58:59 +0000 MOJ 1691414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.target.com/p/clean-water-women-s-swim-dress-assorted-colors/-/A-14764600#prodSlot=large_5_5" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/clean-water-women-s-swim-dress-assorted-colors/-/A-14764600#prodSlot=large_5_5</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-first-trimester-bathing-suit-dilemma#post-1691409 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:58:09 +0000 MOJ 1691409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just pulled the trigger and bought two cut one pieces with lots of rouching a size up from my regular size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-first-trimester-bathing-suit-dilemma#post-1691387 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:50:18 +0000 snowjewelz 1691387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sporting a small bump and I just plan to wear my flowy tankini set! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-first-trimester-bathing-suit-dilemma#post-1691338 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:36:31 +0000 septca 1691338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore an Old Navy one piece during first tri. Bought a size up and there was plenty of stretch in the belly. Also second the rec for tankinis - they have a lot more stretch than you may think, especially if you buy a size up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-first-trimester-bathing-suit-dilemma#post-1691335 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:36:00 +0000 MOJ 1691335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: Thanks! Love that suit, btw! So so cute </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-first-trimester-bathing-suit-dilemma#post-1691317 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:31:43 +0000 mrsjyw 1691317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MOJ: I bought in a size Med? Large? (I'm norm a S) and it was fine for 1st/2nd trim! :) I actually got that suit on sale in store a couple summers ago though, and it was marked likek 60% off :) So I was willing to give it a try without trying on in store! It wasn't tight, but I will be honest, that I felt more comfortable in my regular bikini because it was so hot in FL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-first-trimester-bathing-suit-dilemma#post-1691313 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:31:05 +0000 Emsmems 1691313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: ooo, that's cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-first-trimester-bathing-suit-dilemma#post-1691310 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:30:29 +0000 Emsmems 1691310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: agree. </p> <p>If you're like me, I have to wear a size larger just for my (nursing) boobs, so it would work. But if you are small chested this may not work, in which case I would just get a cheap tankini in the size that fits now, knowing it won't be good for long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-first-trimester-bathing-suit-dilemma#post-1691308 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:29:54 +0000 MOJ 1691308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: Did you find the assets brand to feel really constricting? I saw their line at Target, but I was nervous I would feel kinda smooshed... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-first-trimester-bathing-suit-dilemma#post-1691305 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:28:08 +0000 mrsjyw 1691305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a rouched one piece from target (nonmaternity) to wear for our baby moon around 15 weeks when I was still in that bloated, ate too much phase. </p> [attach=888/14/n6ywqw.600x432.untitled.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-first-trimester-bathing-suit-dilemma#post-1691303 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:27:17 +0000 pui 1691303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Perhaps a regular tankini, maybe a size or so bigger than your regular size, might be a good fit? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-first-trimester-bathing-suit-dilemma#post-1691294 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:23:25 +0000 MOJ 1691294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 8 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child, and bloated to the point that I look happily in my early 2nd tri. </p> <p>My DH is totally not comfortable with the look of pregnant women in bikinis (and frankly I feel so bloaty that I am fine with that).</p> <p>That said, I am not ready (I don't think) for a full-on maternity one piece since I am not big as a house yet. Any tips for where to shop for a one piece that accommodates a small bump? </p>
