Pregnancy swimsuit for a larger bust

I am currently 20 weeks pregnant and looking for a swimsuit.

I have a very long body and so struggle with swimsuits anyway, usually opting for bikinis. I was a 32 GG prior to pregnancy so usually shop in Bravissimo.

My current bikini is very tight around the bust and the bottoms seem to roll down at the front as I have developed a bump just this week!! This is putting me off getting a bikini or a tankini.

Any thoughts for a swimsuit to cover the ever expanding bump and breasts!

Many thanks

Hi i have bought one from figleaves. I have come to the depressing conclusion that i won't get the support i would normally be used to (pre preg one was a bravissimo) and Will grin and bear it. To be honest it only arrived today and I've not tried it on yet!! It's got an extra band of fabric so hopefully that'll do enough! Emma Jane one £21 i think. My fellow big breasted friend got a mothercare one. Normal bras are a nightmare at the moment too (just expensive doing bravissimo but we don't have much choice!) moan over good luck!!

I did buy a specifically maternity tankini - it was good because it had a tie neck so I could hoist up my chest a bit more if that makes sense. it was from next and I bought separate bottoms from debs.
the bottoms go under, a bit over the bump, and the tankini is long and covers the bump. remember the bump will get much bigger yet!

I personally don't have a massive bust but did read a tip recently that if you need extra support or more coverage in a swimsuit to try wearing a sports bra underneath.

I got this one and it has done the trick so far. I'm about a 36E at the moment...

I brought this one from Mothercare www.mothercare.com/Blooming-Marvellous-Navy-Stripe-Maternity-Tankini/LY5529,default,pd.html
I didn't buy it especially for a big bust, but I was a D before pregnancy & I'm at least and E now & its a very comfy fit without being too pricey!

I always buy tankinis from bravissimo so this time bought a couple if sizes up and bought the lower cut bottoms. am 24 weeks, fits perfectly and better than s swimsuit for the multiple toilet breaks these days
