When i go to the pool with LO (she is almost 8 months), i just wear a bikini, even though i'm aware of my (fading) stretch marks and definitely not looking the way i did pre-pregnancy. Still, it's to a mommy and me swim class so i'm less self-conscious because hey, we're all in the same boat, right? But, i notice that other moms wear tankinis or rash guards that cover their bellies and i wonder if i should be wearing something more modest??
What do you wear?

Last time I wore a bathing suit was when I was 3 months pregnant with baby 2. Just wore a tankini
If you feel comfy in a bikini, good for you! I would continue to wear it

I would never wear a bikini and am so jealous of moms who can! like my sister 
I found a great suit at lands end that has a floral pattern and is completely ruched all over the tankini and the bottoms are a higher rise. I feel good in it

If you feel comfortable in your bikini, who cares what other moms are wearing and rock it!
I personally have been feeling like my bikini days are behind me, pre preg. I just ordered a tankini from J Crew that looks a little looser around the middle but not totally swingy and loose, and I'm hoping it will work for now (at the don't look pregnant just ate too much stage) and post partum, since I'll deliver in July or August.

Even at a year, I still have a saggy belly and wouldn't want to wear a bikini even to a mommy and me swim class. But as long as you aren't wearing a push up triangle top, a modest bikini should be fine~! ~

You rock that bikini girl! Kudos to you!
I think my bikini days are behind me, but if I ever get back into shape where I'm comfortable in one, then heck yes I'd wear it!

My bikini days r over thax to these stretch marks... the belly is going down but my stretch marks r just too noticble to wear a bikini. I would tear one of those 50s pinup one piece bathing suits.. I loveeee them and their still sexy.

I just wear a bikini too. From about six months pp my old ones pretty much fit. We'll see how i fare after baby number 2, hopefully won't add too many new stretch marks!

If you rock it you should keep doing it! I love when moms have the confidence to rock a bikini.

I agree with others...rock your bikini if you feel comfortable!
I wear a bikini post-baby. I feel like my body looks weird in a full-piece or a tankini.

Wow! I'm impressed you wear a bikini! I have never been a bikini wearer, I've always worn one pieces or tankinis.

I used to rock a bikini but I’m pretty sure if I planned to go to a pool anytime soon now I would wear a burka. haha but, I'm pretty uncomfortable with the baby weight I gained. I think you should wear whatever you feel comfortable with!

Thanks ladies. I have to admit, i would not have been able to wear a bikini a couple of months ago when my stretch marks were super dark, but they have faded enough for me to stop caring. I also think i am too cheap to spend money on a new swimsuit!
