I really think it is up to you. If you feel fine wearing one go for it! I still wear one and I really don't think it is wrong. I know some people think after you become a mom you have to change the way you look but I don't think you really have to. I'm not saying I think you should dress like a tramp or in clothing covering you head to toe. Wear what makes you feel good! Really that is all that matters. Oh and I'm in ok shape but in no way have a amazing body!
I agree with everyone else. I personally still wear a bikini after two kids (I'm 36). I think that you should wear what makes you comfortable. Have fun!!
If you feel good enought to even ask this question, I say go girl! Work that body! I think it is great that you are comfortable in a bikini and I feel like it is definitely appropriate!
I have not read the other responses, but I think most people are self conscious in bathing suits. If you are comfortable in a bikini, wear one :) I think other people are going to be more worried about themselves in front of other people than checking out others. I say go and have fun, wear what you want :)
OMG! Go shake what your mama gave ya :) Hats off to you wearing a bikini 5 months after having a baby. I personally think it's great- just wear whatever you're comfortable in.
have a great summer!
If it feels good, do it!
Congratulations on your daughter! My thought is if you can still pull off a bikini, go for it! You said it's not skimpy, so you're fine. Just because you're a mom now doesn't mean your fashion has to go out the window.
wear the bikini!!!!!!
I see you got a lot of responses and I didnt read them but if you can wear a bikini, you go girl!! You had a baby 5 months ago and that is great you can wear one! My son is 2 and I am waiting for the day I can put a bikini back on--just cause you are a mom now doesnt mean you have to cover it up! You will get a lot of compliments! Have fun
If you feel comfortable, and the company is an appropriate crowd go for it. I personally have downgraded to the tankini.
You should definitely wear your bikini if you feel comfortable in it! I am also a 31 year old working mom and I have a 6 month old daughter. I will be wearing a bikini for the first time since my daughter was born this weekend.
You're 31 years old! Go for it!
Just because you're a mom doesn't mean you have to wear "mom jeans", or get a "mom haircut", or wear a one piece.
Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable and stylish, but don't think it's inappropriate to wear a bikini, especially if it's not too skimpy (as you say.)
Congrads on the baby! I say you go girl..
Hi There go for it.. It am 42 and work out. I had not worn a bikini in 10 years. Funny story.. I was with a good friend and our kids, and she made fun of me for wearing my tankini with a skirted bottom. I do not have the bod I had in my 20's, but it is OK, I was more self concious about my tummy strech marks. anyway she just told me to look around, and I had sudden realization that nobdy cares but me! I bought a bikini, and wear it. So far I have not seen anybody point and laugh at me;-)LOL
WEAR IT!! There is no rule that says once you become a mom you have to transform into a conservatively dressing prude. I see this happen a lot and it makes me sad. Celebrate your body. I wear bikinis and by no means have a perfect body but I feel comfortable in it. I am 36 years-old and have a 7 and 9 year-old. Wear it and make the other moms jealous...
BIKINI! If you've got it flaunt it, especially 5 months after having a baby! YOU GO GIRL!!!
I think you should wear whatever you feel comfotable in, what makes you feel confident & happy & relaxed. If you feel this way in a bikini, then go for it. I don't think there should be age limits, that's ridiculuos!
Hey, if you got it, go for it, don't worry about what those jelous women, who let themselves go, just because they had children think! Now, I am not one of those women, I am back to my 110 pre-preg weight, but I can't wear a bikini, because of excess skin and stetch marks! Now, if I can someday get a tummy tuck and wear one, I most certinley will. However, there is different degrees of coverage, I would not wear a string bakini to a that type of party! Anyways, have fun and don't worry about what the other Moms think, they will only wish!
Hi Going ahead and wear your bikini!!! If you got the body for it, I don't see anything wrong with it. You're still very young. And even if you were not, life is to be lived to the fullest. So have a good time in your bikini at the pool party.
If I could I would. I agree with the one poster about keeping modesty in mind on the style of bikini, but that's a personal thing. Good for you! I hope to some day return to a bathing suit ready body after two kids in 2 years. ;-P
