Going on much needed first in five years holiday in two days.

After extensive and stressful shopping I finally sourced a suitable but expensive swimming costume in Seraphine. The original choice I wanted from Next was sold out in every size. Seraphine one arrived today with two days til hol.

It's size XL as my belly is already massive at 24+1 and it does fit and is nice even tho I am a humungous whale in it. The boobs tho..... well that's another story! Let's just say my 38-fucking-G boobs are like trying two squeeze two great blancmanges into a baby sock each for the cups!!!!

I just want to enjoy my holiday. It's my first hol in five years and it's our first ever hol together me and dp and I just want to feel reasonably good about myself rather than a huge unattractive laughing stock. Two days to go to 25 degrees heat and I have not ONE item of swimwear that fits to enable me to go for a cool dip in the pool or sea........

Sorry for self-indulgent pathetic post... alone in house trying not to cry... some women just look so beautiful preg but I look enormous. But I could deal with it no prob if I could just get my boobs into at least one item of swimwear........!!!

Can you try wearing a plain coloured sports bra/tank or similar underneath the costume to help with the boobage? Don't worry about looking like a whale or similar nonsense - this is your last pre-baby holiday, just enjoy it! Every single baech I've ever been on featured a selection of portly gentlemen strutting around in speedos. If they don't care you certainly shouldn't.

Arh it's not silly I was the same. Mothercare do some great maternity swimwear that keep all boobge in the right place. Nice cheap kaftans from primark if you want a beach cover up. Knowone especially your DP will be looking at you thinking your laughable. Although you feel fat and yucky to everyone else you probably look gorgeous, and I bet your DP loves te extra boob Grin
Don't focus to much on it your making a great home for your little one baby bumps are not fat.
Enjoy your holiday xxx
