Maternity Swimsuits


While working out at the gym this morning I was watching the Today Show. On one of the segments they had a mini fashion show showcasing maternity swimsuits. Now I’m familiar with the concept and since two of my four were born in August and another in October I’ve actually purchased and worn a maternity swimsuit. But not like these suits.

Three or four of the suits were Takini type suits and in every one the model’s belly protruded from under the top, one was a bikini. Yes a bikini for pregnant women and only one was a one piece style suit that actually covered the belly.
Maybe at heart I’m more of a prude then I thought but I just can’t seem to wrap my brain around this new desire to show off one’s pregnant belly.

I agree that I wouldn't have done it but I didn't look like Demi Moore when she did the cover nekkid and pregnant (can't remember the mag but can see the cover even now).

I think that was the start of wearing clothes tight enough to show off the baby-belly. But it seems that now everyone is into not covering the baby-belly.
