From the article: Maternity Bathing Suits
Bikini? Tankini? Shorts? One piece? What type of maternity swim suit do you wear while pregnant? Do you get good coverage? Do you "fall out" in places? Do you show your belly or not? Share Your Experience

Bikini

I agree, it's the best time to flaunt that belly! Who knows when the next chance will be... plus the extra fabric on my stomach tends to overheat me even while not pregnant, so in AZ I prefer open skin, where the water will feel great!

Prefer a tankini

I found my tankini was perfect for a little extra coverage at the beach - I love my bump but prefer to be a little more modest in the sun.

HHMM..

Its not quite swim season here but will be soon and although I was leaning more towards tankini, my fiance wants me to wear a bikini. He said pregnancy is a beautiful thing that all women should embrace!!

One Piece!

I just went out & bought a new one piece in a size bigger than what I normally wear w/a fun print like a zebra & its pink, its super cute & makes me feel adorable!

BIkINI!

I love my belly! Why hide it! So I wear a bikini and my husband loves it!
—Guest A Two Piece!

One Piece

I prefer a one piece. I even found one that is a nursing one, so I can use it later too. Mine has a skirt sewn in but it covers everything, so no skin showing here!
