5 best maternity swimsuits to wear during your pregnancy
Going for a swim while pregnant just hits different. When you’ve been hauling around that growing bump in the hot summer sun all day, getting to cool off in a pool is just amazing, not to mention that “ahhhhh” feeling when your joints finally get all that pressure taken off of them and your stretching skin gets a little zero-gravity relief. Especially if your due date is coming during the summer or fall (read: your belly’s getting big & you’re getting uncomfy), you’re going to want to hit the pool, stat.
We know what you’re probably thinking. Me in a swimsuit as is: complicated. Me in a swimsuit while pregnant: impossible.

You think pools are made for movin’? Love that energy. There’s no better place to break a sweat (without having to get all sweaty), play with the kids or just let your bod move sans gravity. Okay, pools aren’t zero gravity but you’re definitely more buoyant AND more comfy in them. Toscane’s cross-back straps keep you supported while full-coverage, adjustable bottoms keep you covered lap after lap.
Remember: your body is literally making a whole baby right now. It is so much more than how you look in a swimsuit. Don’t let all the new changes keep you out of the fun stuff. Just because you’re pregnant does *not* mean this is a summer meant for sitting on the sidelines. Pick your fav suit and go make a splash. You deserve it!
