The One-Piece

The one piece is a great bathing suit if you want a style that does not have that maternity look to it as most of the maternity one-pieces are very sleek and simple with just some extra room in the abdomen area for that growing belly. This is a great suit if you plan to do water aerobics or swimming throughout your pregnancy because it will conform to your body and you will not risk falling out of your suit with active movement.

The Bikini

Some moms-to-be are ready to show the world their prided belly. And why not! This is an amazing time for you and you have never looked better. If you are one of these women, then a bikini is the suit for you! Why hide that belly behind constricting fabric?

There are some things to consider if you are thinking of purchasing a bikini as your maternity swimwear. First, you may be able to pull off your pre-pregnancy bikini for a short while, but you will soon find that a maternity bikini will be designed specifically for you growing body. Also, if you plan to be active in your maternity swimwear, a bikini might not be the best choice as it does not provide a lot of added support. If your plans included hanging by the pool and showing off your baby-bump, the maternity bikini is for you.

The Tankini

The tankini is often the preferred choice with moms-to-be because it is the prefect bathing suit if you want the versatility and comfort of a bikini but the coverage of a one-piece.

The maternity tankini comes with bikini style bottoms that are made with just a slight more coverage than a non-maternity bikini.

The Halter

The support offered with an around-the-neck tie is great for larger chested women or for women who expect their chest to grow during the duration of swim suit season. With the tie back, you will be able to adjust as your pregnancy progresses. You can find both one-pieces and two-pieces in a halter style.

The Bathing Skirt

A bathing skirt is a great choice for those moms-to-be that want maximum coverage and comfort as the skirt covers the thighs, hips, and butt area. The bathing skirt can be found on both one-pieces and bikinis and come in a variety of cute designs. With the vintage look coming back in style, this is a great choice for today.s modern mom-to-be.
