The blog post how has your body changed pp got me thinking of what kind of bathing suit will I wear this Summer. I need something that will cover up my ugly stomach but doesn't look old ladyish.

Omg, I don't want to think about it! My baby is due in April...maybe a tankini with a hoodie on top?

My bathing suit last summer was soooooo old lady. I don't know what I'm going to do this summer, but it needs to change.

I'm gonna look for something made by Miraclesuit or Spanx!!!

Bikini! I *will* lose the weight!
I am lucky though that I didn't get any stretch marks (I don't know how that happened, but I am grateful) and my tummy is bouncing back nicely . . . slowly, but nicely.

Umm.. I might skip the pool this summer! We'll see,.

Oh gah . . . Where can I get an old lady moo moo bathing suit???
I'm delivering in March, so during summer I'll only be 2-4 months pp. I'm honestly not expecting to be in anything "pretty."

A one piece. But a sexy one...honestly I dunno if I feel comfortable in a bikini anymore....

I'm praying it'll be back in a bikini. Last summer I was just a couple of months pp, and I was so blah. I wore a tankini and felt like a tween.

I'm due at the end of July, so I'll be pretty large! Depending how the belly looks I COULD rock a bikini, but if I get stretch marks or it's just not looking good, maternity tankini. If by some miracle I manage to get to a pool or beach in that first month post baby, I have no idea, but I did get a loose tankini recently for the in between times.

@stargal: ugh, no way will I feel comfortable in a bikini! Maybe if I hit the gym hardcore.

This is the hottest non-old lady one piece ever! I think I want to get it (or at least try it on).

I for sure need a one piece or a long tankini...no one wants to see these stretch marks. I'm subscribing!

I'm due in April so I don't really know what to expect from my PP body in the short amount of time before summer rolls around.
I have this suit (in red) from Target and I think it would be great - on account of the ruching - at covering a multitude of sins without looking frumpy: http://www.target.com/p/merona-womens-shirred-1-piece-swimdress-assorted-colors/-/A-13720977#?lnk=sc_qi_detaillink

I want to wear a bikini, my belly is flat again but I do have a light shadow of stretch marks around my belly button. I gotta get serious with mederma again

Depends on how I look by the time summer rolls around. I'm hoping to get back into my bikini. Otherwise I'll probably be buying my first one piece.

I wore a suit last year that I liked but it had no built-in bra or support and I hated that so I might have to get a new one.
I really want a simple black one piece with ruching - like this one from LOFT

Not sure if I'll be wearing a bathing suit this summer as I'll be well into my 3rd trimester. Not sure if wanna be out in the Texas 116+ degree heat!

We're going away at the end of March, when I will be 5 months pregnant so I'm going to rock a bikini for, probably, the last time ever. That blog post is so depressing.

@Cherrybee: I'm going away in early March and am planning on doing the loose tankini top I have. At that point I'm thinking it's still going to look like chub, not baby. Sadly, we are going someplace with awesome hot springs that I can't go in, but I'll make do with the pool.

@Mrs. Pen: love that suit! Not sure if my boobs would hold it up though lol.

@HabesBabe: that would look hilarious with my stretch marks!
I have been thinking about this since baby destroyed my tummy and I'm sure we'll want to take him swimming this summer! I like Shabby Apple's suits but was not impressed by the quality of their dresses.
I have a hard time finding bottoms I like anyways; thinking I'll have to start searching early!

@Mrs. Pen: I have a swimsuit like this but it has a print on it... makes me feel very vintage! I either wear it or a tankini w/ short bottoms and a LONG top. I haven't worn a bikini in over 8 years!

@Mrs. Pen: I love that suit! I hope my breastfeeding boobs aren't enormous!

@alivoo01 I was out all summer in a bikini in the 3rd tri in texas! I can't even tell you how happy sitting in a pool made me!
I'll probably be in a tankini!

@Grace: rock that bikini with your bump!
Since I am due in March, tankini or one piece for me this year. I doubt I will have lost the weight yet, knowing how hard it is for me to lose weight.

@mrsjazz: LOL, yes, the tan lines would definitely be whack!@scg00387: i think the crochet action would camouflage stretch marks! at least that's what i'm hoping since i have a gripload of them myself...

@scg00387: @HabesBabe: Yeah, I've been reading the reviews and it's highly rated and most women are saying that it hides their stretchmarks well and is still sexy!

@Grace: I wore one similar to this and was 37 weeks on our babymoon:

@Smurfette: Ummm, no. I wouldn't be caught dead in a bikini during a regular summer. Too be honest, I'm kinda scared of my bump-to-be!
