Nice maternity swimming costume?

We're off to Center Parcs in Feb and I'll be 6 months pregnant so not likely to squeeze into my old cossie. Where can I get a nice maternity one? Not too spendy as I'm not planning to ever be pregnant again, and supportive of nork (currently blessed with an F cup).

Bumping for you.

I got 'quite' a nice one in mothercare last weekend for precisely the same reason! Its got some ties at the side so it is kind of extendable.

Its not my usual taste but it does the job...

"here is it www.mothercare.com/Moda-Fashion-swimsuit-black/dp/B001DK8DW8/sr=1-9/qid=1231518029/ref=sr_1_9/278-13 85491-9235820?%5Fencoding=UTF8&m=A2LBKNDJ2KZUGQ&n=42795041&mcb=core"

they've got quite a nice choice in tankinis but I tried one on and the body was quite short and I didn't fancy massive bump poking out for all to see!

Hope that helps!

Thanks -- that one does look nice but I'm not sure it's got enough boob support!

Some of their tankinis are nice, aren't they?

I had loads of swimming cossies when preggers, but tbh, not one of them supported my bust. Try them on before buying. If you have a large bust, you may find a tankini better.

just reread OP and saw you're an F cup - think tankini would be best.

It's not too bad on the support front as the straps are adjustable like bra straps. The tankinis I tried was halter neck which prob was a bit more supportive just too short for me

can i add that i sold my maternity costume on ebay so you can recoup the cost if you dont use it that much

it was spotty halterneck from jojo - worn about ten times so i good condition - washed well obviously - bought for about 25 sold for about 8 so that helped towards the cost.

Best piece of advice I was ever given was not to fork out on a maternity swimming cossie but to wear a normal bikini instead. First time in my life I was able to go swimming in a bikini without having to suck my tummy in! Saved a load of cash on something I wouldn't have worn much.

Now, post-baby, as for when I will be back in said bikini, oh dear...
