Maternity Swimsuit Fit Tips

For correct maternity sizing we recommend sizing up if you are past 20 weeks in your pregnancy. Once you are into your second trimester you want your growing bump to be comfortable and taken care of. Many of our favorite options have ruching along the sides that helps to keep a flattering shape while easily expanding with a growing belly. 

Can You Wear a Regular Swimsuit While Pregnant?

Yes, but there are limitations.Our bikini tops like The Olivia Crop Top are a wonderful option that can be worn throughout the entirety of your pregnancy but when it comes to one-piece swimsuits we recommend sizing up once you are past the first trimester. This will allow room for your belly to grow and expand without being uncomfortable. That being said, every pregnancy is unique. Some women show within the first few weeks while other women barely show at 20 weeks. Do what feels best for your body and situation so you can enjoy your time in the water!
