Diaper Swappers

First time in my life I'm a size 2! I need a new bathing suit and want to get a bikini. I thought about getting just a regular bikini but the butt doesn't seem like it's wide enough. My butts still a size 2 but it's spread a bit.

Anyway, I don't want to spend a million dollars on one. Does anyone have any experience buying one? Should I just get a normal bikini or go for a maternity one?

I bet you can eat pizza and mac n cheese in which case I'm extremely jealous of you

I lost a lot of weight because I had to cut out a lot of foods that give me headaches. Think pregnant with no ice cream or cookies, or cake or candy or doritos or fast food or really any other food that just makes eating such a pleasure.

No, I have to eat almost 100% healthy. Good for my body, good for the baby, not so good on the cravings.

I may go try a regular bathing suit store at the mall.

Jealous! My chest and bottom would not fit into a 2 sized bikini! Not to hijack but i'm also trying to find a preggo swim suit-do you ladies think it's ok for a pregnant woman to wear a bikini nowadays? I know the celebs do it-but I'm not Kate Hudson so...

I have a friend who wore a bikini when she was pg and it looked ADORABLE. Of course, she was thin every where but belly, tan and generally gorgeous so that certainly helped

As for me, I'm pale as a ghost and stretch marked. I'll take a tankini, thankyouverymuch

Yes I think it's okay! I don't feel comfortable wearing a bikini pregnant or not... and have not been pregnant in the summer. But anyway, I see some moms at the beach in their bikinis while pregnant and am so jealous. I think they're cute.

I bought a bra-sized bikini that looks awesome! Fits before and after pregnancy too, and I did look cute in it.

I can't buy regular bikinis because I'm a 32H and fall out of S/M/L tops in different ways.

I could never find a maternity suit that I thought was cute. I wound up going up a size to address the bottom issue and just buying a regular suit. For the comment above I think if you are comfortable in a bikini go for it! I wound up with a tankini and really liked that.

I have 2 tankinis that are too big now so I'd have to buy a new one anyway. I really like bikinis better so that's why I want to go for it

Hope you find something cute! I was determined to wear a bikini this past pregnancy, but didn't get a chance. I don't wear one when not preggo, because I'm self conscious of my "tummy".

But you're supposed to have a big tummy when preggo, right?!?! lol
