Maternity Clothes
in GP Moms
So I am not quite ready yet, but I am certainly not going to buy regular clothes now either.
What stores did you find had the best collection with the best prices?
I also (probably) need a couple of bathing suits. Typically, I am a bikini-wearer, but what did you all feel comfortable in. I looked at some on ASOS and the one pieces do not look appealing to me. Are maternity bikinis even sold (depite what I see on TMZ everyday!)?

Re: Maternity Clothes
I think you could just wear a regular bikini if you wanted to and were comfortable being bare bump in public.
in-store, Motherhood and Macy's had the best selection for me. But a lot of brands have maternity lines online-- Gap, Old Navy, Target etc they just rarely have full selection instore.
I also sometimes found stuff at Ross or in consignment stores-- I got a sweet pair of maternity jeans for 8$ in a consignment store-- my favorite materninty clothes purchase.
I would think you could wear a regular bikini as long as there was enough support for your boobs (and if you are comfortable with that, and be careful you don't sunburn that bump-- ouch!)
I preferred a tankini style, and ended up getting mine at Macy's (the Motherhood brand). But I ALMOST got one at Pea in the Pod-- they had nice ones, but in the end I couldn't justify the price for something I was going to wear for 3 months.
I got most of mine at Target so far. I am particular about maternity clothes (I hate that most prints look like they are for elderly women, like your age automatically increases because you are expecting). I also got a few things at Old Navy and Motherhood.
I saw a huge selection at Buy Buy Baby, if you have one in your area. I haven't gotten anything from there yet but the prices were comparable to Target and they had a few more things to choose from.
No advice on the swim suit, I haven't gotten one yet.
Ditto the bolded!
Some of Target's tankinis (non-maternity) might work if you don't want a bare bump. I bought one that is somewhat flowy in the midsection on me--and this can be hard to do since my waist usually needs a bigger size than my boobs do. I don't know if something like that would last you all summer though.
Correction: it was flowy in the midsection. It's not now, but it's still totally acceptable for me to wear.

I got a few things from Target, Old Navy, and Kohls. I probably like Target the best. I just wish there was more of an in-store selection.
I bought a tankini online from Target. So far I am happy with it. However, I only wore it to a pool once and never went in the water.

I had no idea H&M carried maternity. Does the store near you have a section now? If so, I need to go there!
