DS is due in July and I have a bathing suit question. Both of my other boys were winter babies so I didn't have to worry about a bathingsuit.
Should I buy a maternity bathingsuit for after the baby or go up a size or two in my regular size? Or just wait to buy one? Any recommendations for tankinis?

Re: Summer Mommies
Funny, we have a pool and I hardly go in. Lol
DS was born July 8th. I think I wore a tankini the few times I did maybe sit out or just stayed in a tank and shorts. Lol
We didn't go to the beach that summer anyway bc I didn't want to bring him there yet, but I did go to the waterpark, our pool or friend's pools and kept the baby in the shade. DH took my older DS in the pool.

I bought a maternity one from motherhood maternity. Even wore it after my dd was born. I recommend it i found it comfy.
I have friends who wore bikinis but i just wasnt comfy with that.

No pools for at least 6 weeks after childbirth.
Just continue with your maternity suit if you are going to sunbathe!

Re: Summer Mommies
I'm due July 19th...I don't think we'll go to the beach much this summer, but we'll probably be at the pool every day...I am planning to wear a bikini until I have the baby and I'll probably wear one of my tankinis afterwards...I've never been pregnant in the summer, so I don't know how I'll feel about it once it happens.

I agree.
By the time I was allowed to go into water, there were only a few weeks left of summer so there was no point to buying anything new.

DD was born the end of april last year so I had at least 2 months before worrying about a bathing suit. By then I was able to wear the top of a tankini suit that I already had and I just bought a new bottom to go with it. I got a plain black bottom one size up at Kohl's (which I'll probably still be in this summer, lol).

That's what I did for water play in the yard With my older child. DS was born in late July. Didn't go in pools though and by the time I felt comfortable, the season was over.

DS was born in August but I was inside most of the time in the AC! So I really didn't have much need for it...

ITA. I think I just wore a regular tankini top or tank top with shorts the few times I went to the beach.

Re: Summer Mommies
I'm not a water person to begin with but I love the beach and just sitting out. So I was more just looking for ideas of what to wear while sitting out with the kids. I dont want to be in tank/shorts at the beach. Everything could change by then and I may feel so gross that I don't want to go to the beach but just throwing it out there.
Thank you for the ideas.
