Maternity swimwear is no longer just about functionality and you shouldn't feel the need to cover up just because you're pregnant.
Swimming is great exercise for you and your baby and it is possible to feel stylish and fashionable while you work out! As the weather gets warmer and more of us are heading to the beach or the pool, you'll probably want to start thinking about purchasing some maternity swimwear so you can look great and exercise at the same time.
Your existing swimsuit will probably be fine for the first trimester but as your bump grows you'll feel more supported and comfortable in a specialist maternity swimsuit.
There's no shortage of choice when it comes to choosing maternity clothing and all the main maternity brands produce their own ranges of swimwear for pregnancy.
Popular brands include Motherhood Maternity, Prego and A Pea in the Pod.
Target also has its own range of maternity swimwear designed by Liz Lange.
The tankini is a very popular style this summer and that's great for pregnant women because tankini tops cover bumps without looking boring and flatter every figure.
Tankini tops and bottoms are often sold as separates so you can choose a style to suit both your top and bottom half.
If you're confident with your body and want to show off your bump, you'll look great in a maternity bikini.
Bumps look really cute when they're not being covered up and maternity bikinis have extra stretch to let your body grow.
Whatever style you choose, there is a great variety of prints and colors so you'll look hot on the beach this summer.
Choose a vibrant print that will make you feel confident and positive and go out and enjoy your pregnant summer!
