Choosing Maternity Swimwear


Finding an attractive and flattering swimsuit can be a challenge for many women – being pregnant makes things that little bit harder but by keeping a few points in mind you can find the right maternity swimwear for you. Maternity clothing has changed considerably in recent years with manufacturers realizing that pregnant women don’t want to wear shapeless sacks for nine months. Swimwear manufacturers have also cottoned on to the fact that pregnant women want to look good on the beach too and there is no shortage of fashionable and functional swimwear to see you throughout your pregnancy.

Why should finding maternity swimsuits be top on your list of maternity clothing? Well firstly swimming is an excellent exercise for everyone but especially expectant mothers. Vigorous exercise is not recommended in pregnancy, along with any activity that increases your body temperature significantly. Swimming is easy on your joints, supports your growing belly and the water keeps your core temperature cool. It’s important to stay fit and active throughout your pregnancy and swimming is a great way to do this. You’ll be able to get away with using a regular swimsuit for the first few months but once you start getting bigger you’ll be much more comfortable and supported in a specialist maternity bathing suit.

Choosing maternity swimwear

When you first start looking for the perfect maternity swimsuit there are a few questions you should ask yourself. Consider how much skin you’re comfortable with showing. Some women prefer to hide their rounded stomachs while others are happy to show off their cute baby bumps. A maternity tankini is a good ‘in between’ option as it covers more skin than a traditional bikini but has a more stylish look than a traditional one piece swimsuit. Tankinis come in two pieces like bikinis but cover all or most of your belly allowing you to hide stretch marks. Maternity bathing suits are available in all sorts of styles so try a few to help you decide what sort of coverage you’re most comfortable with.

Make sure the style you choose is supporting both for your belly and your breasts. Most women will go up a couple of cup sizes in pregnancy so if you’re used to going strapless or wearing string style bikinis, you may have to consider a different style. A halter style can work well on a maternity swim suit or if you need more support, go for one with wide straps and built in bra support.

Think about how often and where you’ll be using your swimsuit. A maternity bikini is an acceptable choice for a beach holiday but is less practical for swimming laps in your local pool every day. Again, you can compromise with a tankini but make sure the top is supportive enough and you have lots of room for your growing bump.

If you choose to buy your maternity swim wear in a shop, the sales people will be able to advise you on appropriate styles to suit your tastes and stage of pregnancy. If you’re shopping online, look for sites that offer customer reviews so you can research a little about what other women liked and disliked about a particular swimsuit. Shopping for new clothes and embracing your changing body is part of the fun of being pregnant. Choosing cute new maternity swimwear can be a great way to keep you feeling positive about your pregnancy and encouraging you to stay active.
