Top Maternity Swimwear Picks For This Spring
With warm weather approaching and summer just around the corner, it is that time of year that many women dread: swimsuit season. When pregnant, you may believe this task to be a bit more daunting than usual. However, the selection of maternity swimwear available is so diverse and stylish that everyone will be asking you where you got your new swimsuit! Whether you prefer a tankini or a bikini, maternity swimwear is designed with your comfort in mind and tailored to fit your baby bump comfortably and fashionably. This season many new styles have emerged and combined with several classic favorites, there is a huge variety to choose from.
A great design is the halterkini, as it is flattering and practical. If you are not completely comfortable showing your entire baby bump, a halterkini provides extra coverage while still being sexy. The fabric flows gently over your body, allowing room for your belly to grow and ensuring that you will not feel constrained. An adjustable tie at the neck creates the perfect fit, and combines comfort and style in one.
This season, Maternal America has added some gorgeous and stylish designs to their maternity swimwear collection. One of their bestsellers is the Coco O-Ring Tankini. This gorgeous swimsuit has a beaded halter tie, adding originality and a hint of sexiness. The padded bra creates a nice shape, and the tankini flows gently over your belly. With adjustable tie bottoms, this swimsuit is comfortable yet sure to be a showstopper.
The Jenni Tribal Tankini is another new design which is stylish yet comfortable. With an adjustable halter tie and side-tie bottoms, comfort is ensured. The modern tribal pattern adds a great eye-catching element to this trendy design. Another favorite new Maternal America design is the Carrie Tankini Swimsuit. With a sweetheart design halter top and padded bra, a beautiful yet functional neckline is created. Adjustable tie bottoms which fit directly below the belly are perfect for all stages of your pregnancy. If you like a classic look, this is a great swimwear choice. For comfort and style combined, halterkinis do the trick!
Many women prefer a strapless design on their swimsuits, and Prego Maternity Swimwear has added two gorgeous new designs to their line this season. Known for great fit and style, Prego truly understands the expectant mother's body. Their South Seas Strapless Mini is no exception, as it provides full coverage while still being sexy and stylish. The beautiful floral pattern on the top paired with chocolate brown bottoms is fun and modern. From a Babymoon to a day at the pool, this swimsuit is perfect for a variety of locations!
Another great strapless swimsuit added to the line this season is the Brown Dot Strapless Mini. With the same functional and flattering designs as all of Prego's minis, the sweet dot design is subtle yet fun. If you do not want to show your belly yet still want movement and sexiness, these new minis from Prego Maternity are a great way to go.
If you want to show off your baby bump, there are a variety of cute yet functional maternity bikini options available to choose from. A bikini is great because it does not constrain your growing belly at all, yet provides the bust support needed during pregnancy. A fresh new design this season is Maternal America's Bandeau Bikini. In a vibrant orange, it is refreshing and modern. A convertible halter tie and padded bra support the bust, while adjustable tie bandeau bottoms which sit below the belly fit throughout all stages of your pregnancy. Sexy and stylish, you will look and feel great!
Another great bikini pick is the Aqua Ring Maternity Bikini from Belabumbum. A gorgeous floral pattern and silver ring on the top add style, while the stretch of the fabric and halter tie ensures comfort. Cute and modern, this is a great bikini option.
Overall, there are many stylish yet comfortable maternity swimsuit styles available this season. Whether you prefer full coverage or want to bare your belly, there is a style for you. As long as you feel comfortable and confident, you will look and feel great!

Maternity Dresses - a Must Have for Every Expecting Woman
Every expecting woman needs a good dress or two in her wardrobe. During pregnancy, it sometimes seems excessive to buy a lot of nice maternity dresses that can only be worn for a few months. However, during the course of nine months of pregnancy we inevitably come upon an occasion which really calls for a dress- a wedding, an office party, an evening out with our spouse or even our own baby shower.
Many expecting women actually find that dresses are more comfortable to wear when expecting than a pant and top combo. Even women that do not typically wear dresses for their day to day activities may find that a dress is the easiest and most comfortable clothing to wear when they are pregnant. For one thing, most maternity dresses are made with plenty of room in the belly to comfortably stretch for all nine months of your pregnancy. They also provide plenty of belly coverage so there is no worry about a top getting too short as your belly expands.
Most women like not having a waistband cutting into their belly from the early weeks of nausea to the final weeks when nothing seems to stay on your hips. Also, with a dress you know you are always well put together with no issue of mixing and matching items in your wardrobe which may no longer fit right.
Pregnant women can actually get away with wearing a dress in just about any venue. Where a non-pregnant woman may look a little over the top throwing on a dress to pick up kids at school, a pregnant woman wearing a maternity dress in the pickup line at school seems perfectly normal. You can even wear the same style dress for an everyday errand to the grocery or shopping mall that you would wear out to lunch with friends, to the office or even to a wedding.
Some maternity dresses to consider this season that are super versatile and flattering to just about any body type includes the following:
Maternal America has come out with their bestselling Flutter Crochet Dress in a new raspberry sorbet color which is sure to be a hit this season. The flutter design in both the dress and top is very flattering for pregnancy. This sleeveless style is fitted across bust with ruching and cascades down the middle with plenty of fabric for an expanding belly. The crocheted hemline gives with dress an easy elegance. This is the perfect baby shower dress!
Another repeat favorite by Maternal America is the Front Tie Keyhole dress. This maternity dress has elbow length sleeves and can be worn any season and anywhere. This dress offers a clean put together look with a V neck but no cleavage, adjustable front tie and knee length hemline. Perfect for the office, out to dinner or anywhere you want to go. The front tie feature allows you to adjust the fit as your belly expands and still have the perfect fit.
This season long dresses are all the rage. Olian Maternity has a stunning full length Halter Dress that can be worn for just about any occasion. This dress has a black bodice fitted look across the bust and cascades full length with a large floral mosaic pattern of black, royal blue and white which is simply stunning and dreamy. A maternity dress like this is ready for an evening out, a walk on the beach or your baby shower.
Just about every woman feels extra pretty in a flattering dress. Maternity dresses that are well styled and made with soft stretchy fabric where you need it will bring out all of the flattering curves of your pregnancy and hide the rest. Pregnancy is one time in a woman's life when she can particularly appreciate being treated with a bit more dignity and respect. There is no better way to bring out your feminine side and glow in your pregnancy than when wearing a flattering dress. So, if the dress fits then wear it and enjoy all the extra fuss and attention you may get during your pregnancy because you deserve it!
