I know it's still early, but I'm hoping that since there are so many STMs here, that someone can help me. I'm going to pretty much live in the water this summer, and I need a new swimsuit. Problem is, that apparently don't make maternity swimwear for big boobs?! Anyone know where I can locate a supportive maternity tankini?
I'm dealing with a 34H chest and not comfortable with just buying a bikini as I am chunky and my stomach is covered in stretch marks from my other pregnancies.

Honestly, I'd probably go with a supportive sports bra type and a cute rash guard. I bet you could find some pretty maternity ones, and then just plain bottoms.
I found a maternity one piece on Target clearance for $13. I *think* it will work and I think it's cute. I have a hard time finding swimsuits to fit my chest too.
Great thread! I am getting a Y membership so that I can get in the pool there so I'm all sorts of following this thread.
Can I piggy back a question? I'm fairly average all around and currently in non mat clothes, about a 10/12 or a Large. When buying maternity swimwear, how big would you recommend? My current plan was wear my normal 2pc as long as I can and go from there.
Would I get more life out of a 2pc as opposed to a maternity 1 piece? I'm clueless over here.
IUI 1-3 BFN IVF #1 - Oct '15 - 10R, 3M, 0F IVF #2 - August 16 - 12R, 11M, 5F. 1 to transfer and 2 to freeze - BFP!! - MMC caught at 7w5d FET #1 - 1/26 - BFP, due 10/14
Cythe, I'm usually a medium in non-maternity and got the same size for my maternity stuff, including the swimsuit. This worked for me last time for my winter babe, so I'm hoping it works this time too.
I'm hoping the swimsuit I have will work. It is a strapless flowy top and a skirt bottom. The top got big as I lost weight. So hopefully it will fit fine now. I have no boobs, so I'm not much help for those that do. The top is like free flowing meshy thing. It was at target a year or two ago. It does have a slit in it, but drapes so that it is mostly closed all the time. I figure as my stomach grows, it will open more and be more obvious, but I don't swim that often. So hopefully it won't be an issue

Bare Necessities! I am a 36G when not pregnant and I live in a beach town-- I feel your pain!
What I ended up doing was buying a somewhat non maternity bra sized top (Freya) and then high rise maternity bottoms so my belleh is covered. Oddly enough I also have had really good success with the Walmart Suddenly Slim by Catalina swimsuit as well!

Cythe with both of my kids, I could wear the maternity version of my normal sizes throughout my pregnancies, but I basically only gained in the belly and boobs.

I didn't get any last time because DD was born in February and we lived in ND at the time. I have a tankini from Target that I got last year that I hope will be long enough. I'll probably pick up a cheap maternity suit there since this is our last one. If the girls get much bigger though I'll probably do a sports bra with a rashguard

I have a motherhood maternity swimsuit, two piece tankini. It has lasted me four pregnancies and I wear it postpartum because of giant boobs. Now I wear a t shirt over the top because I'm chasing three little boys around the pool, and worry about bending and spilling out. I'm around a 36F and wear maternity large if that helps.

I was thinking about getting this on Amazon. We spend a lot of time at splash pads in the summer, so this would work well for me. If the bump gets out of control, I do have a 2 piece maternity tankini that should get me by.
