What do you think of a pregnant woman in a bikini?

I hate to be one of these people, but I do not find anything about pregnancy beautiful. To be perfectly blunt I find pregnant women a little..eh, not easy to look at and seeing one in a bikini is really unattractive to me. My first thought would be 'Please cover that up...'

Well the main reason I wear a two-piece (in my case, a tankini because I don't like to bare my stomach) is a little funny--I have a small bladder! I've found that it's just such a pain to get out of a one-piece every time I go to the bathroom. Pushing the suit to the side just never worked for me LOL I end up having to pull the whole darn thing down. I hear very pregnant women have to go to the bathroom a lot because the baby puts pressure on their bladders so when I saw this thread that was one of my first thoughts -- maybe they just need to pee a lot and it's more convenient. I also thought maybe it would be hard to find a one-piece that fits but I assume maternity brands make them?

This reminds me of when I was watching an episode of a reality show with a very pregnant woman in it and she wore a bikini. I thought she looked fine.

It's more practical on a number of levels. Maternity bathing suits are expensive and you wear them for a few short months. A bikini fits before and after.

I would prefer to be covered up.

Years ago I would have thought it inappropriate. Now I don't care one way or the other.

 

Times and perceptions change.

I still wore a bikini during my pregnancy. I wasn't going to shell out 100$ for something I wore once or twice, just do people had to feel better about themselves. Granted if I was severly overweight, and full of fresh stretchmarks, I may not have felt personally comfortable wearing one. I simply saw no reason for myself not to.

 

I think you look awesome btw in that bikini! I was not as svelte, but I don't think I looked anything close to the morbidly obese women either.
