I always said I would fully embrace pregnancy and all of it's joys...I lied!!! I guess the tear triggering event was thinking that I have 3 more months to go....as in, lots more cellulite to gain!!</p> <p>@peachybee: Have already gone up one underwear size....and those are getting way too small on me, too!</p> <p>@mediagirl: Sadly, I used to look great in a bathing suit. I just felt so frumpy and icky (and yes, I tried it on at home!!!) Regardless, though, I'll be swimming this weekend and happily floating weightlessly : ) </p> <p>@Goldilocks1107: I'm so short (5'2) I'm afraid wearing a skirt would just make the overall appearance worse! LOL re: dangerous water aerobics! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tried-on-maternity-bathing-suit#post-76131 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 08:58:30 +0000 Goldilocks1107 76131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't cry!<br /> I bought my maternity swimsuit super early (the "girls" wouldn't fit in my other swim tops anymore, making water aerobics a daring escapade in "will they fall out today?").<br /> If you have time to look for new bottoms, I ended up with Liz Lange bottoms from Target that have an attached skirt. So at least the top part of my thighs are covered and I avoid the awkward "sausage casing" look that some other ladies experienced. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tried-on-maternity-bathing-suit#post-76100 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 07:43:46 +0000 heffalump 76100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never looked in the mirror while in a bathing suit or naked. And my suit had a skirt it to hide my legs and tushy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tried-on-maternity-bathing-suit#post-76082 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 03:20:37 +0000 looch 76082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww, I know the feeling! What about a pareo that you can wrap around yourself? I love mine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tried-on-maternity-bathing-suit#post-76079 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 03:17:32 +0000 Rubies 76079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes - still do! But I remind myself that my body changed because I was carrying a new life and it made everything better. *hugs* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tried-on-maternity-bathing-suit#post-76038 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 01:40:49 +0000 cupcakemama 76038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's ok! Think of it this way - pregnancy is the one time you never have to worry about having a flat stomach when wearing swimmers. I rocked a bikini! (Mainly because my boobs were out of control and I just couldn't do maternity swimmers) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tried-on-maternity-bathing-suit#post-75988 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 23:48:37 +0000 mediagirl 75988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw. It's always difficult to see yourself in a bathing suit. Now it's just even worse with the big belly! Oh! Did you see this "new cellulite" in the store mirror? Don't look in that mirror! Look in natural light - that's where you'll be in the suit anyways. I have never understood why the places where we buy bathing suits make their lighting so un-flattering!!</p> <p>Listen to yourself, though, you've only gained 15-16lbs! How cool is that? You probably look beautiful. I hope you have a fantastic vacation and I'm sure you will be a stunning pregnant woman in that bathing suit. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tried-on-maternity-bathing-suit#post-75983 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 23:45:00 +0000 BSB 75983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww... hugs! </p> <p>I hope it's only temporary! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tried-on-maternity-bathing-suit#post-75892 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 22:55:02 +0000 peachybee 75892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hugs!<br /> Yes, I pretty much have this moment every day when I try to put on my underwear. </p> <p>My cute hip huggers now make me look like a sausage casing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tried-on-maternity-bathing-suit#post-75875 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 22:34:41 +0000 chopsuey 75875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time! My legs got so lumpy during pregnancy. Once I started losing weight they smoothed out though. Cellulite miraculously disappeared! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tried-on-maternity-bathing-suit#post-75850 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 22:19:17 +0000 pastemoo 75850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>frequently. hugs!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tried-on-maternity-bathing-suit#post-75837 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 22:16:27 +0000 winniebee 75837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And cried. The suit was cute (ordered for our babymoon where there is an indoor pool!), but I have never seen so much cellulite in my life. I am really OK with how much I've gained in pregnancy (15-16 lbs at almost 26 weeks) and work out 4 days a week still. But I unexpectedly got really upset after seeing myself in this bathing suit.</p> <p>Anyone else have moments like this? </p>
