    No but then I never would show my midrift anyway. Personally I'd opt for an all in one suit or tankini, covered with sarong or similar.

    If you feel comfortable and happy about it though, then don't worry what others think, just go ahead and have a great time xx

    I would, but then I can imagine feeling really squidged into an all in one swimming cossie. I know you can buy maternity ones, but I'd rather wear a bikini or tankini. I'm planning on wearing my tankini when I start swimming again (as soon as I get rid of this aful anaemia) and I'm sure it'll ride up over my bump, but I'm only there to swim and can't afford to splurge on a maternity cossie just to go swimming!
    It's up to you - what would you feel more comfy in?

    Oh god, if you offend anyone I say they deserve to be offended! It's not as if you're going to a restaurant in it

    have just had this very same conversation with my husband who said 'you wont be wearing a bikini on holiday though will you?' when the week before I bought a new one and he said i looked good in it (apart from the ompa lompa belly). So he's slunk upstairs now as was just going to buy another one.
    Have bought a tankini top and a kaftan aswell in case it gets too hot, but fully intend to wear my usual triangle bikini thingy !!

    I wore a tankini on holiday but there were 2 other pregnant women in the same hotel who looked amazing in their bikini's - I was very jealous, I didn't look that good before I was pregnant!!

    Go for it!!

    I say wear whatever you feel comfortable in, that's most important. when I went to mexico in march I was around 24 or so weeks and i totally wore my bikini. I also wore a little cover up when walking around, but i got no strange looks or anything. have a great time on your holiday.

    I've been wondering about this too. i'm going on holiday with hubbys family and want to wear a bikini but thought it might be considered as undignified in some way by others. I don't see why and think pregnant women look beautiful in bikinis but I'm wondering about the older generation. I don't want to cover up like there's something offensive about a pregnant belly, plus I agree, no holding in the abs...yeeha!
