Maternity swimsuits?

Question

Are they really necessary. I will be 30 weeks when we go to Hawaii for a babymoon and I’ve seen so many maternity swimsuits but is there any reason I couldn’t just...wear my normal bikini? I may need to size up the bottoms by then but a big flowy bump hider isn’t really necessary right?

Answer

You can wear your bikini, but it is recommended to cover your bump because it can be burned from any angle at this point and your skin is more sensitive to the sun while pregnant. If you go with the bikini, I’d just suggest extra sunscreen and to be diligent with it. Having a sunburn is not fun, much less on your bump.

Answer

I have been wearing my normal bikini. I did get larger bottoms, but it’s been more comfortable than a maternity one piece.

Answer

Nope. Go to Walmart. They have mix and match so you can get a different sized top and bottom. I got a tankini 3 years ago with my first. I got the top bigger and the bottoms normal size. The top was halter so I could easily adjust to compensate for the bigger size. It worked perfectly. And I’m using it again with my current pregnancy! It was $20!

Answer

I wore my normal bikini on a spa day at 30 weeks and felt amazing in it!

Answer

I wore my bikini while pregnant!! I think it’s cute!

Answer

The only reason I put a t-shirt on when we went swimming at like 36 weeks was cause my boobs were too big for the bikini top and I didn't want them falling out while I was in a public pool. So I wore my normal bikini plus a cautionary t-shirt lol. I totally wanted to flaunt my bump, but I didn't wanna buy a new top 🙈

Answer

Yup, just wear what you are comfortable wearing.

Answer

I think they’re a waste. I just sized up my normal bikini and it fit just fine at 34 weeks 😊

Answer

I think it’s personal preference. If you wanna flaunt your bump (which I totally would), then a regular bikini is fine as long as it fits!
