Can anyone recommend a maternity swimming costume for a larger lady? (me!)

I'm a size 18, and not got a big bump yet but I've started wearing maternity trousers and I think I ought to get a swimming costume. I'm going to have to buy it online so if anyone can recommend any, that'd be great. I'm quite tall but got quite a bit of weight around my stomach and chest, so I need good support really.

Hey,

I am a larger lady too and also wanted to swim whilst pregnant. I googled it and found nothing! Size 20 was the best i could get and when your bump gets big - thats no good!

I in the end opted for going to Evans. Bought myself a swimming costume with the boob support 2 sizes bigger than i am normally and its perfect! Swimming cossies are stretchy anyway so it just slides over the bump!

Hope that helps

I'm being cheapskate and using a bikini with a camisole top; I'd never get in a swimming pool in a bikini normally but the T-shirt sort of evens it out...
