Fashion Friday: 15 of the Best Maternity Bathing Suits (yes, they have been tried!)

Let me share one truth, this pregnant body will probably not be wearing a bathing suit this spring/summer season many times. I know I’ll have to be in one here and there (I AM due in July!), but I won’t be trotting around in one every single day when the hot weather finally hits for good.

And I’ll share even one more truth… it’s not because I’m not comfortable wearing a maternity bathing suit, but because I can’t shave my legs with this big belly!  I literally cannot see and reach my legs, it’s too difficult and it’s as if I’m playing the game Twister in the shower!

LOL… oh the truths of a pregnant lady!

Now… that being said, maternity bathing suits are (and should be) an essential of all pregnant mamas throughout the spring and summer.  It doesn’t matter if you’re at the beach, at a pool club, alone in your backyard or a family/friend’s pool… bathing suits are something you need to add into your wardrobe.

The question just quickly because, “What are (and where are) the best maternity bathing suits!?

I’ve been scouring high and low lately and I really have found some true gems.
