Any recommendations?
I'll be at the pool/beach 2+ times a week this summer, and I'm looking for something practical. Not too expensive as this will be my last pregnant summer ever!
I don't wear bikinis not pregnant, but by the end of the summer, that might be my only choice.

I just ordered this one. It was more than I wanted to spend but I'll be at the beach and need more than one suit that fits (I have a bikini that will fit too).

That's a really cute suit grumpycat! I need to start thinking about this soon too. My dad will be retired as of July and he lives 1/4 mile from the beach. That's where I'll be spending my summer!

They have some cheaper ones too, but I wasn't thrilled with the patterns/colors. Target online has some too. Last pregnancy I got away with going up a cup size and got a bikini from Victoria Secret (for those who are comfortable wearing bikinis).

I'm glad for this thread. I have a suit from last time and it was cute, but it was strapless, and I want a bit more support this time.
I think I will also go the Amazon route.

I should probably buy a cute maternity suit. I have one mat suit, but it's racing style for lap swimming since I (used) to swim a TON. I don't have pool access right now to train, wahhhhh.
But my brother bought a house like three minutes from us and has a pool. He said I can go use it whenever I want, even if he's at work. Plus we live like two miles from a huge lake with a nice beach. It's a state park, so I plan to buy a season pass so we can swim and use the giant playground. I guess my racing suit and my one and only bikini that's almost ten years old won't cut it...

I ordered 2 from Motherhood Maternity, but they haven't arrived yet. I didn't need one last time because I was in the first tri in the summer. I'll report back once they arrive.

I just ordered two regular ones a size up from swimsuitsforall.com and am happy with them. No clue if they will make it all summer but hoping so. We leave for our cruise on Friday then will spend a lot of time at the Frog pond this summer.

Also this very NSFW one came up upon my pregnancy suit search. 😳 Hopefully the spoiler works.

Because what pregnant lady wouldn't be 100% confident in that ensemble?

This one This is the one I keep looking at. Let me know what you think. I can probably get away with my current tankini for the next week.

Got the suit today. Feedback: not for bigger tatas. My 34/36 Ds filled up the cups on size small. I would have sized up, but would have been swimming (no pun intended) in the bottoms. Small bottoms are fitting a little looser than my usual fit, but I know that will change lol. Overall, very comfortable, my boobs feel secure, and there's room for my belly to grow. The bottoms currently come up just below my belly button (and don't dig in).
For reference, I wear a size 4 or 6 in jeans pre baby and a xs or small shirt (34 c when not preggers).

Thanks for the feedback grumpycat! I'm worried about that with the one I ordered, too. I wear a medium normally but I am 36F bra size.

You would think they would account for big boobs in maternity suits. I mean really.

Good to know, grumpycat ! My already big boobs will definitely not be getting smaller over the summer.

Verdict on the suit I got: I love it! The medium fits great, including the boobs. Highly recommend.

For reference, before this pregnancy I was a size 10/medium in most clothes. 36F bra. But boobs have slightly increased already.

I think I am also going to get a couple separates from Target. They have a high waisted maternity bottom that I like, and probably a halter top. I like high waisted bottoms for smoothing out my cavernous belly button. Lol.
