The combination of my last two months of pregnancy. Which -TANGENT- why do people say you're pregnant for 9 months? Because it's 10 months. On Sunday I am 32 weeks pregnant - which is the start of my eighth month but I clearly have two months to go.
Anyways...
So in combination of having two more months of being pregnant in the heat of the summer I also have to do something that most women loathe...

You guys I don't even like bathing suit shopping without being pregnant so when I decided to try on a couple of suits last week well it was more than depressing. On top of having a monstrous belly my boobs have taken on their own zip code. Which is sucky because they already had their own zip code prior to November 2013. So now they just seemed to have taken up residency two towns over.
With an upcoming week long vacation to the Trinity Alps I need a suit and I need one fast.
Some options:
And if I wasn't pregnant and my boobs were smaller I would totally be investing in these!

gal....I'm so with you. When I was pregnant, my boobs absolutely killed me because they were so huge. It might have been my least favorite part about being pregnant. All those suits are adorable and you will look great. I had some luck with Jcrew Tankini's when I was pregnant if you want to check them out too!
ReplyDeleteI was just looking for maternity suits- try ASOS and Nordstrom- they both have cute options that don't have skirts or other things to make you look like an old pregnant lady!! I also found if you do the mix and match option at Target and get a L/XL top you can squeeze it over the belly. That's what I did last year but this year I creeping into one piece territory since I have to chase a baby.
ReplyDeleteThat first picture gets me every time!! I seriously feel that way ALL the time!! I think I need some maternity tops to tame my ladies!! Really love the L*Space one!!
ReplyDeleteYou will look amazing in whatever you pick! I was 9 months pregnant, so I feel ya! I still rocked a bikini though. Target might be a good way to go since you buy separates and get a bigger top. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteSwim suit shopping is the worst, though I admit the boob department has never been the issue for me. haha. At least you don't have to worry about sucking it in! :) I say go with whatever you are most comfortable in. It sounds like the maternity top and regular bottoms would work!
ReplyDeleteOk, I absolutely love the ruffle one piece, can I get it too haha?
ReplyDeleteI hate bathing suit shopping and I'm not even pregnant! All of your choices are great, though-- that ruffle one piece is pretty adorbs!
ReplyDeleteBahah that first pic!! And I love the Mara underwire one - so cute!

loving the stripe bikini or the mint green one (that'd look good with your dark hair!) xo jillian - cornflake dreams
ReplyDeleteAll of those maternity bathing suits are great options, and SO cute!!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try and avoid the summer when I get pregnant....I hate wearing a bathing suit NOW, I can't even imagine how that changes when you're pregnant.
The top one is so adorable!!! You are the prettiest preggers lady ever!!!
ReplyDeleteoh man so many cute choices! I actually am really loving the one piece.
ReplyDeleteWELL they say 9 months because even though they start counting at the first day of your last period, you obviously aren't pregnant until around week 4... so you really only experience 9 months of pregnancy in terms of gestational age. However, it FEELS like longer ;-) I love the last suit! I just realized this may be my first summer in FOREVER not wearing a swimsuit at all... Yikes!
ReplyDeleteOh girl I feel your pain! That picture of the ape had me cracking up though for a solid few minutes.
ReplyDeleteHaha I feel like the poor monkey, too, and I'm not even pregnant. Damn wine and bread too much... loving the black ruffle one-piece. And the beauty of being preg in a 2 piece is you don't have to suck it in - love it!
ReplyDeleteHave you looked at the ASOS bathing suits yet? Their maternity suits are cute! I just wore a regular bikini with one of my larger cut buttons and said to hell with it :-)
ReplyDeletebahaha I'm now jealous of your boobs! And girl- I feel ya with this heat- 99 right now! Hate it..nope 70's or fall is good. I know it never works out to your plan sometimes but I'd realllly like to be preggo in winter! All of those suits would look great by the way! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI seriously always forget that summer doesn't start until June 21st haha I just consider everything from Memorial Day - Labor Day summer! I vote for the very first swimsuit.. I love stripes and anything nautical!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I love, love the ruffled two piece!! :)
ReplyDeleteBathing suit shopping is no fun regardless, however, I do love all the choices you found!!
ReplyDeleteYou are too funny! Sometimes I think about avoiding being pregnant in the summer JUST so I don't have to deal with this situation! Lol. I love the red and white striped bikini and the ruffle top black one piece!
