Maternity Swim Suits
ok so i'm 17 weeks prego with my second and my baby bump is small but noticable, and overall i'm pretty small aound but my boobs have gotten huge, they are a 34 G which is the next size after DDD for those who have never heard of a size so big (like me till the other day, lol) anyway i need a swim suit but so far the maternity ones that i've looked at all just suck, in order for them to fit me in the chest i would have to have a huge butt and even then there isnt any support in the chest and i really need something with underwire to hold them up. i really dont want to spend a million dollars on a suit either, and i'm totally fine with a 2 piece so if anybody has any advice as to where to look that would be great, thanks
So What Happened?™
thanks for all the ideas, unfortunatly none of those places have anything thats gonna work. i did figure out a solution though, all my 2piece bottoms still fit and i have a pair of coverup swim short that are black and white striped so i'm gonna wear those with a cammi that i have from learner NY, its a black cammieand the material is very much like that of a swim suit, and they are the new extra long ones so they cover my belly perfectly, still not as much support as i would like but its got the built in bra so its sorta ok. it'll have to do b/c i really dont feel like looking anymore.

I did the same thing you did, but I doubled up on the bra tanks! Buy one smaller one to layer under the other. It's a little more trouble, but it's worth the confidence! I got mine at Target(work out tops, usually by the bras and undies) Also, walmart sometimes has runner's shorts with the panties made in them that are great for swim bottoms! Maybe this could help if you need a back up plan!

I worked at Motherhood Maturnity while I was pregnant (DREAM JOB!!). They had really cute bathing suits!! I, too, was busty and found some that gave me the support I needed.

I was just at target today and I noticed some cute maternity bathing suits there. I didn't look at them really close, but they had quite a few. Worth a try!

A.,
I was in Target the other day looking for a bathing suit for myself and my niece who is pregnant. While looking I saw several Maternity ones that were nice. They have tankini’s so you can get the top to fit and the bottoms to fit. Good luck.

not sure what to tell you about the support in the bust. I just went bathingsuit shopping and there is NO support. Now, I have a good two piece suit when I was much smaller that had good support, it was just like a bra, but I have no idea where I got it, 'cuz I really didn't need the support back in those day and now that I do...no luck. Old Navy sells the pieces separately so if you need a larger top and smaller bottom it's perfect, but once again, the support in the tops were not there. Sears sold them separately too. Other places do sell the pieces separately, but I'm not sure who and I think they cost a lot of money. Try searching the internet and see what pops up.
good luck

When I was prego with twins, I too was an overflowing G cup and I found my suit at Motherhood Maternity. I LOVE that store. You might have to go to a store and try them on to see how they fit, I had to try on several before I found one I was comfortable in/didn't feel like I was popping out of. They do have a website though, just google motherhood maternity.

Welcome to the club. I just recently had my chest measured and I too where a G cup. I really did luck up when I found my bathing suit. It is a black and white two piece that actually supports my chest. I tried it out this past weekend and I was as comfortable as could be. It was on JustMySize.com. Check it out. You will find your bras there too. I believe Glamorise has the sizes you need.
Enjoy!!!
