I have two maternity suits but I don't have a swimsuit to wear PP. I think I will wait and see what size I need!!! I really like this green bikini that I saw at Target...maybe I can wear it in my backyard.
What kind of swimsuit do you have? Bikini, tankini or one piece?

I think I will wait until May/June and see how this PP body looks like before our vacation. But I honestly don't foresee a lot of pool time on vacation this year, and I'll probably get a ruched one-piece retro looking thing for just hitting the community pool.

I bought a side ruched speedo one piece from Costco for 19.99. Looks as good as one of the miracle suits.

I buy a new bikini every year, even though I don't need as many as I have. I haven't bought one this year yet. We go to the neighborhood pool a couple times a week.

I think you are asking pregnant ladies. Not pregnant yet so I don't think my answer counts, but, yes, I bought some cute bikinis for my trip to Maui in February. I bought them from Victoria's Secret.

I have a bikini but will clearly need to wait and see how that pans out.

God no. What's a swimsuit? I was hoping I would never have to wear one of those for the rest of my life...

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....

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.

@autumnlove: i like that one! Really cute and that mint green sherbet color is like the main IT color for spring!
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:)

@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. =/

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!

@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!

J crew has great two pieces. Their d cup swimsuits are very full coverage-I've always been really happy with them!

@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!

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.

I have a tankini..
gahhhh.. I need to lose 20 fast so I can take my kids to the pool this summer

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.

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!

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!

I doubt I will make it in a bikini this summer! I'll probably buy a grandma tankini.

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.

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.
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?

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!

I will never wear a bikini for the rest of my life.
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.

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.
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.
pomelo / 5820 posts
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.

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.
pomegranate / 3890 posts
@Mrs. Pen: you and me both. My bikini days are over.....maybe when these stretch marks fade. A lot more....
Thinking a cute one piece.

@ladyfingers: why can't we wear what they used to wear back in the 1920's haha! full coverage

@Ree723: Yay! 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!

I have a tankini, but we have a big beach trip scheduled for mid-July and I'm hoping I'll feel confident enough to wear a bikini.
