The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible - Arthur C. Clarke
If you’re planning to swim during your pregnancy then you will need some well fitting maternity swimwear. Your regular swimsuit may well fit during the first and the beginning of the second trimester but as you grow larger, you will feel much more comfortable and supported in a swimsuit designed especially for pregnant women.
Just like regular swimwear, swimwear for pregnancy comes in a range of different styles to suit different tastes and body types. There’s no shortage of choice when it comes to style or design these days so you’ll find it easy to choose a swim suit that is both comfortable and looks stylish.
A maternity tankini is one of the most popular styles due to its versatility and the fact that tankinis look flattering on nearly any body shape. A tankini is a two piece bathing suit like a bikini but the top covers all or the majority of your stomach, giving you the coverage of a one-piece suit with the versatility of a bikini. Most pregnant women find tankinis very comfortable to wear during pregnancy and they also look great, providing coverage for the bump while still looking cute and stylish.
Bikinis are a good choice for women who are confident with the way that their body looks and would like to show off their bump, or don’t like the feeling of it being restricted under a swimsuit. Maternity tankinis usually feature extra stretchy bottoms to allow for growth and supportive tops which is very important during pregnancy.
You can choose from all the normal top and bottom styles just as you would with regular swimwear – choose wider straps or a halter neck to support a large chest or a bandeau or spaghetti strap style for smaller bosoms. You can disguise big hips with a skirted bottom or boy short style bikini bottoms.
