Maternity swimwear

Hi, I'm currently 13 weeks pregnant and don't have a baby bump. I'm going on holiday when I'll be 16 weeks and wondering if I need to buy a maternity swimsuit? At the moment I'd be fine in a size up from my usual size but am I likely to have a bump in 3 weeks?
Also any recommendations for where to buy maternity swimwear? All I can see online seem to be quite low cut which I don't feel comfortable in.

Hey, I don't have an answer for you lol but I booked a holiday today for October and I will be 19 weeks so I'm nervous incase I need lots of new maternity clothes and bikinis 🤦‍♀️ I would think you'll be absolutely fine with your normal clothes if it's in 3 weeks c

I was still in my usual clothes at 16 weeks but looking a bit bloated.
I got a maternity swimsuit in Asda and a fancier one I think from Debenhams online.
Sainsbury's have some nice ruched swimsuits at the moment, not maternity but could fit you nicely at that stage.
Enjoy your holiday.

You'll probably be ok in something ruched, or a tankini

I went on holiday recently at 17 weeks (first baby) and wore all my usual bikinis - just a tiny bloat bump lol

Swimsuits are quite stretchy so you will probably be OK in your usual one for a while. I went on holiday at start of the third trimester and got a cheapish one from asda which was fine. A lot of maternity clothes look a bit odd until you have a bigger bump because they are baggy in strange places

I was wearing my normal swimsuit up to about 23 weeks and normal clothes on holiday/hot days at 19/20 weeks. Just used a thin hairband to secure buttons on waistbands rather than doing them up fully.
