Is a pregnant belly in a bikini offensive? Should I buy a full swim suit?

    I rocked the bikini. I say if you're comfortable, go for it!

    Bikini it is! Definitely not a little string one, ugh I wouldn't do that now but something tasteful and cute. Thanks girls

    Rock it, mama! I wore a two piece the whole pregnancy, but needed a tankini for some support after 30 wks or so. Wear whatever you're comfortable in!

    I wore a bikini with DS and I plan to during this pregnancy as well. I also have a maternity tankini that I will wear.

    I recently went on a beach holiday at 31 wks...I had a maternity tankini, but it was still too big so just ended up making me look frumpy and fat and not feeling good about myself at all. I ended up wearing my regular bikini bottoms with a bigger (D-Cup) top and didn't feel like anyone was scandalized by my choice. I'm vainly excited that I'll now have a nicely bronzed belly for maternity pics and hopefully still for delivery

    I found that bandeau style tops with a tie for support were the most flattering - halter or bra style tops just showed too much cleavage for my liking. To be honest, I think the va va voom pregnant boobs are much more risque than the bump!

    If we were with family or friends, I might have chosen to be a bit more conservative, but no one we knew other than my husband, daughter, and our nanny saw me anyway. I think the grannies in 2-pieces and non-pregnant ladies in very skimpy suits raised more eyebrows than my belly did
