I'm off to Italy and Florida during this pregnancy. I already own a bikini but not a swim costume. I vaguely remember being told that bumps have to be covered as the sunlight can penetrate through the skin to the baby. Is that true? I mean if my skin and fatty layers can't protect how will buying (a blooming expensive cos its got a maternity label) full swim costume make that much of a difference. I mean I don't suppose I gonna look particularly great in a bikini BUT I'm only going to an Italian campsite and my mum's villa - besides if I dress the kids cutely everyone looks at them instead .
So do bumps need to be covered?
