This is my first post so I hope I'm doing it right and I'm sorry if not.

I keep being told what good exercise swimming is so I've been looking for a maternity swimsuit but no luck. The problem is, I'm a size 20 and 36HH (pre-pregnancy). I can't even find anything that's likely to fit, without even considering whether I like it. Can anyone help? This is really getting me down as for once in my life I actually want to do the exercise but can't!

Hi there

I've got a Zoggs maternity tankini from wiggle.co.uk. I'm a size 16/18 and H cup. I do wear a Bravissimo bikini top underneath for extra support but a sports bra would work too... I just had a look and they do a size 20. It's not the most glamorous but is really comfortable. With a bit of luck the link will be here: www.wiggle.co.uk/zoggs-ladies-melbourne-maternity-tankini/ Hope that helps...

Next have about 3 maternity swimsuits that go up to a size 22. I've had one from them before which was really good. I'm a larger size than you.

I saw some in Matalan recently, plain black and they go up to about a 22

M&S have some maternity swimwear online and they do up to size 20 (and beyond)

Thank you all. I hadn't thought of M&S or Next as I usually find their stuff too small in the bust, but maybe I should give them another try. I think a shopping trip may be called for!
