I simply wear my bikini since it's unrestrictive on the tummy and no one can say u looks fat coz u are pregnant..

i was gonna ask the same question too! think its time i get some workout and with my back so sore these days, i think swimming's a great choice

i do remember some shop selling pregnancy swimsuit tho but i think bikinis are probably better

I was thinking the same thing too!! I've never worn a bikini without anything over it (too shy!) so was wondering what to wear if I'm going swimming. Maybe bikini with a maternity top and boardies if they still fit...

Also thinking whether to wear bikini top for waterbirth or just bra...or nothing :err:

hihi.. i bought swimsuit for preggy at far east shopping ctr in orchard.. cost about $40.. my pre pregnancy size is S but I bought L for my preggy swimsuit size.. i dont think wearing bikini is good cos as you goes later in pregnancy.. you will want to cover your big big tummy......


i have attached a pic of myself with the preggy swimsuit i bought when i was 5 mths preggy..

This looks nicer than expected! I was thinking of "showing off" my big belly later in a bikini but if maternity swimsuit can be pretty.... Is it snug around the belly? Comfortable? Can one size fit the entire pregnancy?
