Beach Bellies!

I've been meaning to ask anyway, and after runlotusrun posted her fab pic, i decided i should go for it!

My 3rd trimester will be throughout the worst of the summer (due 9/1) and i'm wondering how to handle swimming and whatnot.

If you've been pregnant (and showing) in the summer, did you wear a bathing suit? A bikini? shorts and a t-shirt? :)  I'm sure it

I don't have any pictures but I had a maternity suit.

Oops, just realized this was supposed to be posted over in the preg comm. But there's plenty of moms on my f-list so i'll leave it! :)

I have a few maternity suits--my boobs got too big to wear a regular suit. I was pregnant twice in the summer. I loved swimming while pregnant. I felt like it was the only time I could stretch. I don't have any pictures of me in it I don't think.

I think the economical option would be to rock the bikini because it would most likely be your normal size. Bathing suits tend to be expensive considering their lack of fabric to begin with.

I was about to say this same thing, but only as long as your bottoms stay up ;) heh

Two of my pregnancies were summer babies and I had a maternity suit. I think I have some photos because one year we went to Florida for a wedding, but I'd have to dig them up.

I can't WAIT to be pregnant. I will totally go to the beach and/or swim, in a bikini or tankini with short board shorts.
