Bathing suits...

[AMB2013]

What is everyone's opinion on one pieces vs. two pieces? I have a bikini that I'm still wearing, and my fiancé swears that he loves the look of my belly showing like that, but I'm afraid he might be a tad biased. We have a party coming up where everyone will be in bathing suits, and while I haven't ever heard of people having issues, I don't want to hear any surprise snide remarks, either. So...thoughts?

Well, I think it's whatever you're comfortable wearing, and whatever makes you feel good...others' opinions be damned. Personally, I have a maternity swimsuit (it's full-coverage), but I'm older, and the rest of my bod has gone to hell (as this is not my first kiddo), and I just think a bikini would look silly on me, even on a good day. But if your feel good wearing a bikini, and you don't feel like a spectacle wearing one...why not? You could always have a long cover-up to wear over it if you start feeling self-conscious.

As long as you feel comfortable then wear whatever you want
Tbh I'd embrace wearing a bikini, I always used to worry about my stomach and now I have an excuse for it not to be flat

I see pregnant women at the pool in bikinis every summer. I don't really think anything of it, but I think some people from older generations still find it odd. Honestly, it's really rude to comment on other people's bodies, if anyone does they are the ones with the issue. Wear whatever is comfortable for you.

Whatever makes you comfortable.

I don't like wearing bathing suits or even going to the pool (used to love it when I was younger). But now I'm not comfortable with my body, so yeah I don't like going to the pool. lol. I dont even like wearing shorts.

I wore a bikini with both my kids. Wear what your comfortable in. I see pregnant ladies in them all the time, I am never the only one in one either. Just be sure to sunscreen!

I agree with the other ladies - Wear what makes you feel comfortable.

I like both one and two pieces but with the heat of the summer coming and this expanding belly, I want to wear as little as possible so I'll be sitting poolside with a two piece.

I have a one piece. Mainly because I have never felt comfortable about my belly prior. Plus it was cute

I'm going on holiday at the end of June and I'll be most definitely wearing a bikini (I'll be 20-21 weeks)

I say flaunt what you've got (those big boobs and gorgeous bump!) if you feel comfortable in a bikini or swimsuit go for it!!

 

[BigAl]

I love my bump (not keen on the rest of me though lol), so i'd wear a 2 piece.

I'm going on holiday tomorrow and I've just bought 2 tankinis in a bigger size than normal. Means I will feel ok walking to the pool etc cos they are covering everything but can always pull the top up in the sun for a little bit of a tanning time x

 

[EmzyJA]

I'm just chilling in my garden but I'm wearing a bikini I don't like one piece swimsuits but would wear a tankini

 

[PhotoPassion]

Tankini is the way to go for me too. I can't stand the way a one piece feels and a tankini makes me feel a little less self conscious.

 

[jhughes0709]

if your comfortable in it then wear it My stomach looks like a road map from my other 2 pregnancies so I'll never be able to pull off a bikini lol Just ignore anyone's comments...I get so annoyed by people and their opinions!

 

[shmunster]

I have a one piece pregnant or not, but no one needs to see my guts!

I love to see big pregnant bellies in bikinis though! I probably stare but only cos I think its cool!

 

[NotNic]

Bikinis for me. I wore them last pregnancy and plan to again this year. I just bought a few light covers up for wearing at the beach bar etc. I do own a maternity swimsuit but its not so flattering especially at the early bump stage. I like being able to buy separates. I look a bit odd at the till with a UK 14 top and 8 bottoms but I'm more comfortable in a well fitting two piece.

I just went swim suit shopping yesterday, we are going on vacation in 3 days! I wanted to get something that I can use when I am not pregnant as well so I got a 2-piece. I will have to get a cover for it as well as I don't think I will be comfortable walking around just in a swim suit, but for tanning and getting in th water I think I will be ok. This is my first pregnancy so my belly still looks decent and I know that I look horrible in a 1-piece so I didn't have much choice to begin with. I feel proud showing off my belly

 

[prbetsi75]

I'm going on vacation in 2 weeks and bought some tankini's. I have a ton of bikini's but not comfortable showing my bump.

 

[AMB2013]

This makes me feel a little better. Honestly, I haven't worn a one-piece since I was a kid (not that there's anything wrong with them. Just my preference), and I didn't want to switch back. Now if I can just keep people from randomly touching my bump, I'll be set...
