Swim wear for mommies to be...

While looking through my emails this morning I got an update from a site that I had registered to on maternity swimsuits.  Now I have already looked at suits and thought, "Wow, some of these are pricey and others are just inappropriate!"  So I thought I would take a look again and share with my mommy friends who are pregnant this summer some of the options we have in swim suits.
Destination Maternity has a few that aren't too badly priced and aren't completely hideous.  But the styles are basically the same and there are just a few color combinations.

I personally liked this one...and at $34.98 it's a pretty good deal!

A Pea in the Pod has basically the same things...just with a much higher price tag.  Tankinis and 2 one pieces were all I could find on this web site. 

Gap has two options in swim wear...black or puple tankini.  The top is $44.50 and the bottoms are another $32.50.  Personally I know that my now lucious pregnant breasts would not stay in this top...so definately a "no" for me!  :)

Old Navy maternity was ok but I didn't really like any of the colors.  There are a few tankinis and a solid colored one piece. 

Ok so here's my complaint...Why do retail stores think pregnant women want to wear black??? It seems to be a favorite color for all stores one-piece suits!  I understand black is suppose to be slimming, but it is also boring!  We want to have fun cool colors and patterns that help distract how big our hips are really getting!   I also don't want to show up in the same maternity swim suit as everyone else due to the lack of color choices. 

Now this is one of my all time favorites right here!

I hope I don't offend anyone one by this...but really?!  Don't get me wrong, I think the pregnant belly is beautiful...but I don't think I want everyone and their dog at the public pool to see all of me! 

(I didn't even wear this revealing of a bikini on my honeymoon!)

Maybe I'm a bit conservative on the modesty issue...but I think we mommies have a right to show off our bump in a more attractive and friendly way.  (I can just see my tush falling out of those bottoms!)

I was lucky and found a never used swim suit at a kid's garage sale the other day for $5.  It is polka dot and a tankini design that will keep the boobs in control and the tummy hidden.  I like it and was happy to find it. So good luck out there!  I hope you find something suitable to you and your personal style.  Let me know if you find anything amazing out there!
