Hellobee Boards

I did!! We went to Cabo San Lucas for a Babymoon while I was 5.5 months preggo. If you're confident to do it, then go for it!

Just a tankini for me, I had no other option though my ladies on top did not fit into a bikini top anymore, no matter what size!

I love bikinis but I only wore tankinis when I was pregnant.

Go for it!
I think it starts looking a little strange with 36+ weeks and I personally wouldnt do it if I was that HUGE, but at 26 weeks you'll look fine.
Plus being preggo is part of the natural lifecycle. If you'd wear a bikini pre-pregnancy then rock one now.

We're off to Aquatica Water Park in Orlando this weekend, but I still think I look fat vs preggo so I'll be wearing the one piece as I float down the lazy river.

After being a long-time bikini lover, I've been wearing my first ever (in many years) one piece retro style/ruched-sided bathing suit anytime I go swimming.

I wouldn't mind showing off the bump in a bikini (especially now that it is more tan!) but I have brand new stretch marks that I'm not really interested in showing off, so it would be a no for me.

your bump looks great - you totally should!

@Honeybee: Oh yeah that was my other problem. All of my bikini tops suddenly looked like I was in some 90s beach party video. Boobs spilling out all over the place.

@highwire: Lol, lucky for me (I guess?) I never fill out my tops in my non-pregnant state. The only time I've ever actually had anything up top is when I'm baking a baby!

I didnt and I wouldnt. I would just feel odd with my bare pregnant belly showing for all the world to see lol. I would have to wear a full one piece swimsuit

Love pregnant bellies in bikinis! Show it girl!

Full on bikini? Sure did - at 29 weeks on our babymoon! And I am so glad I did. Even thought I felt *big,* I was so, so proud of my bump. And I got so many compliments . . . and DH and I got *extras* from the staff because they all wanted to help us celebrate.

I wouldn't/won't be I really don't like most pregnant women in bikinis. Then again, I also dislike when some people wear bikinis and probably shouldn't, ha. I'll be rocking the tankini, though!

I did, at about 29 wks. Only really in front of dh though...I think I would be too self conscious in front of a big group of people. But that's just me--it was also a pre pregnancy bikini so the top was really too small lol.

I didn't. I had stretch marks EVERYWHERE. Boobs, tush, belly, thighs. It would not have looked good.

@jholler25: I totally have been rockin' the bikini all summer. I did try on a maternity tankini, but the top was HUGE on me, and probably by now (at 32 weeks) it would fit, but I have only 1 or 2 beach weekends left - so I am just wearing my pre-preg bikini.

I also felt a little weird in the beginning, but now that the bump is fully out there & round, I like it. I definitely get looks, and this past weekend I had a few people ask when I was due --- so I wonder if before that people thought I had a gut - ha!

you should definitely rock that bump! You look so great from your bump pics!

anyway - here is a pic from 3 weeks ago that my MIL took at the lake:

@hellobeeboston: You look amazing! I did NOT look quite so attractive in my bikini...but I wore it anyway, lol.

You look amazing, go for it!

I let my belly hang out in all it's glory on a family beach vacation when I was 33 or 34 weeks. I got a few strange looks from some strangers, but mostly smiles (from anyone who bothered to look).

Yup. And it was not pretty. But I was like 36 weeks and gigantically swollen. But I was at the beach and couldn't have cared less.
