Swimsuit Buying Tips
Wearing a swimsuit while you are pregnant may not be as horrid as some people think - and actually quite flattering.

So many pregnant celebrities have been caught on camera at the beach, proudly showing their bumps.  For once in your life this is a time where you don't have to hold in your tummy while wearing a swimsuit - it's supposed to be out there!

Summer is coming soon so you might want to start thinking about wearing a swimsuit and choosing the most flattering swimsuit for your pregnant body shape. 

Here are some tips for choosing the most flattering swimsuit.

  • Start your hunt early.  Buying towards the end of your first trimester gives you time to wear your swimsuit a few times and get used to the idea of showing off your fab new shape.  If you're past your first tri-mester that's fine! It's never too late.
  • Stick to the style that you feel comfortable with. If you have always worn a full swimsuit then that is what you will feel comfortable in now.  If you've always worn bikini's and you feel comfortable wearing one this summer then go for it! Tankini's are also a popular choice giving your tummy a bit of cover.
  • Look for nylon-Lycra fabric.  Why? Because it will stretch as you grow.
  • Choose a bikini bottom that is cut higher in the back and below your belly at the front, this compliments the angle of your waistline.
  • If you're keen on a bikini but still not sure about showing off your bump, wear a light cotton shirt over top, they're cute and they're in fashion this summer.
