New Maternity Swimwear Styles – Jenni Tankini in Hibiscus Print

Spring Break is just around the corner, so it’s not too early to find yourself a cute maternity swimsuit! There are so many awesome styles out this season. One you can’t go wrong with is Maternal America’s Jenni Tankini in this season’s new Hibiscus Print. The Jenni Maternity Swimsuit has been a year after year bestseller. We have no doubt that this popping Hibiscus print with sexy fuchsia halter and bikini sash ties will be no exception.

One of the reasons the Jenni Tankini is so popular is the Halter Ties can be worn as either a halter or a strapless when bowed in front. The O-Ring rushing style is very pretty and complements your growing pregnancy assets!

The fuchsia bikini sash ties are easy to adjust as your belly grows, making this style very functional and flattering for all stages of your pregnancy.

Many women like to pair the halter top with jeans or shorts for a fun versatile look. Bra cups are lightly padded and molded for a pretty silhouette and added support.

Our quantities are limited in this print, so get your size before they run out!

Alessandra Wears Maternity Swimwear Revealing Beautiful Pregnancy Bump at the Beach!

Victoria’s Secret model, Alessandra Ambrosio, officially debuted her pregnancy on Facebook in her hometown of Florianopolis, Brazil.

The beautiful model glowed in a string bikini with daughter, Anja, proudly patting her mama’s baby bump. She wrote on Facebook next to her photo:

“Anja, Jamie and I are overjoyed and extremely appreciative of all the wonderful wishes we’ve received! 2011 has been a year filled with incredible gifts and this is the ultimate blessing!!”

Alessandra was also recently photographed at the beach with beau Jamie and daughter Anja in a strapless coral ring bikini and straw sunhat. If your belly looks this good when pregnant, you must show it off with a stylish maternity bikini! The 30-year-old Brazilian model clearly glows in pregnancy and admitted “My body loves pregnancy.”

For a similar look, check out Japanese Weekend’s 3 piece maternity bikini with sarong set. Perfect for the beach!

If you are little more shy about showing your bump but love the hot colors, check out Maternal America’s Jenni Tankini maternity swimsuit. This festive halter style is made to flatter all body types with an adjustable bikini side ties.

You don’t have to be a supermodel to debut your bump at the beach, so find your favorite style maternity swimsuit and hit the sand!

Show Off Your Maternity Bump Like Tori Spelling!

Don’t be afraid to show off that bump in a sexy maternity bikini. Take advantage of the one time in your life when you don’t have to have flat abs to flaunt a bikini swimsuit and look and feel sexy. Show off your rounded tummy with your favorite style bikini. For many of us, this is a time when our bust is fuller and our curves are welcome!

Classic black strapless always looks good on any body type. Tori Spelling wore this pretty black 2 piece last summer when pregnant with her third child. We think the black oval pendant adds to the glamour of this simple black swimsuit style, particularly with the strapless design.

Check out Prego Maternity’s timeless Maternity Bikini with an oval cinch buckle.  The padded bra offers good support and the bottoms are made just for maternity and will comfortably stretch with you while offering a seamless flattering fit. This style comes in black and brown in sizes XS-Large.

Why not have fun with fashion you were too timid to wear before you were pregnant. Try a different style or color than you would normally wear. Experiment with fashion at the beach or pool (or your own backyard).

This season BelaBumbum offers a hot Fushia Ring Maternity Bikini:

This fun color shows you are excited about your pregnancy, your curves and getting out in the sun! This maternity bikini swimsuit features a silver rectangle ring and adjustable halter and back ties. The bikini top is padded for a nice contoured look for your maternity shape and maximum comfort and style. The bottoms are super stretchy to accommodate your changing shape.

Maternity Swimwear For Your Babymoon

A pre-baby vacation filled with pampering, sleep, and relaxation…sound good? We think so, as do the growing number of couples treating themselves to a restful trip before the baby arrives. So popular, this pre-baby vacation has become known as the Babymoon and is the “last hurrah” for soon to be parents. The Babymoon is designed for relaxation, peacefulness, and bonding time with one’s partner. It is a time to reconnect, put aside the day to day distractions, and focus on one’s relationship. For a relaxing and romantic getaway, there are many Babymoon options available.

Many couples enjoy a destination Babymoon, and choosing a beach getaway is a great idea. One can fly to resorts in Mexico, the Bahamas, or Turks and Caicos for the ultimate Babymooon experience. Here one can lie on the beach, share a couple’s massage, and take romantic strolls in the evening. For these tropical getaways, one needs the perfect maternity swimsuit. A pretty choice for this special time is the Maternal America Black Flutter Halterkini. The halter top has a flattering empire waist design and a mesh fabric that covers one’s baby bump, which is sexy while still providing that extra bit of coverage. A bikini is also perfect for this special time, and is great for tanning on the beach. BelaBumBum’s beautiful Fuchsia Ring Maternity Bikini has a tropical feel with its gorgeous pink color, and the silver rectangles at the bust and hip add the perfect festive touch.

If one does not have a lot of free time for a getaway, a one day Babymoon is a great alternative. Even one day of relaxation with one’s partner provides bonding and rejuvenation time. For a short Babymoon, spend the day relaxing at a spa. Many spas offer couples services as well as services geared specifically for mothers-to-be, such as a pregnancy massage.

No matter how much time one has for a Babymoon, there is an option for everyone. From a tropical getaway to a rejuvenating spa day, spending this special time with one’s partner is the perfect way to prepare for the arrival of one’s baby.

Try Little Black Maternity Bikinis!

Little Black Dress? Try Little Black Maternity Bikinis! We are loving the black maternity bikinis that are hugely popular this summer season with expectant mothers. Pregnancy is a time to celebrate one’s curves, and there is no better or sexier way to do so than in an LBB. Always busy mama Tori Spelling, who is expecting her third child with handsome hubby Dean McDermott this October, was spotted taking a stroll on the beach in May in a stylish black bikini. She was glowing! Black is always classic, adds a hint of sexiness, and never goes out of style. We love its halter style as it provides extra support for one’s changing bust size during pregnancy. For a similar look, try Prego’s gorgeous Bow Tie Bikini. With its extra stretchy material that is made to hug one’s curves, it can be worn all throughout pregnancy and beyond!

Another celebrity mama, the uber-talented Toni Collette, was spotted on the beach back in February, two months before giving birth to her beautiful baby boy Arlo, in a super-cute LBB with dainty white polka dots. The polka dots give this swimsuit an extra feminine touch and the adjustable straps allow Toni to customize its fit. We love the added ruffle detail as well. Prego’s Black Dot Bikini provides a similar look. The rectangular ring design at the bust is incredibly stylish, and the bust support offered is excellent. For all those mamas who want to bare their bod, a classic yet comfortable way to do so is with a stylish LBB!

Maternity Bikinis Are A Fashion Hit!

Bikinis are all the rage on pregnant celebrities this season! From beach days to yacht cruises, we are seeing maternity bikinis everywhere. Maternity bikinis are a fabulous choice, as they allow plenty of room for one’s baby bump to grow and never feel restricting. Different from a regular bikini, they are designed with extra bust support and adjustable straps so that they can be fitted to one’s body throughout one’s pregnancy.

Back in February, when the gorgeous Selma Blair was just starting to show, she rocked her beginning baby bump in a fun, brightly printed floral bikini. She paired it with a chic cowboy hat for added sun protection and to add an additional splash of style. There is no better way to honor one’s pregnancy than in a fresh and happy print! For a similar option, Prego’s Kona Skirted Bikini has gorgeous chocolate brown flowers against a bright aqua background.

White bikinis are another popular choice as they look gorgeous against tanned skin, and surfer-girl Kate Hudson was spotted wearing a super cute one in March, four months before the birth of her second son. We love how she paired it with a shell necklace and printed sarong wrap, staying true to her laid back style.

Many women shy away from bikinis during pregnancy since their bodies are changing. However, if a bikini is something you normally like to wear, go for it! Make sure the maternity bikini you buy has plenty of bust support on the top and that the bottoms fit comfortably beneath your baby bump. As long as you are comfy, you will look and feel amazing!

Kate Hudson on “Baby Moon” in Mexico!

Pregnant Kate Hudson, 31, and father of her baby, Matthew Bellamy, 32, have been enjoying time together on a “baby moon” in Mexico. It has become popular for celebrities to spend this last ‘hurrah’ vacationing before the baby arrives. This is Kate’s second child (and first with Bellamy). Kate Hudson caught a lot of attention at a resort in Cabo this March wearing a skimpy bikini with a scarf wrap. Tagging along on the beach was Kate’s son, Ryder age 7, and ex-husband Chris Robinson. A friend of the family said “Kate is happy for Ryder to finally have a brother or sister.”

If you are lucky enough to spend some time soaking up the sun before the big day, being pregnant doesn’t mean you can’t have cute swimwear. If you want to bare your baby bump like Kate, the Japanese Weekend Bikini with Sarong Set is a great option to be the envy of everyone at the beach or pool, if they’re pregnant or not! The sarong wrap makes a flirty skirt that can be tied for the perfect fit.

If you prefer a little more coverage, I recommend a tankini in a colorful print that accentuates your body in the right places. The Jenni Tankini from Maternal America is a great choice.

 

Kate was also seen draping her belly in a cool and comfortable gauzy maxi beach dress. The Beach Maternity Nursing Dress from 1 in the Oven is a similar look that captures this celebrity’s style.

Swim Your Way To A Healthy Pregnancy

Whether you were an exercise buff, weekend warrior or more of a couch potato before you were pregnant, swimming is one exercise that almost anyone can do without injury when expecting.

Swimming provides you with a buoyancy and weightlessness that is welcome to most pregnant women. Especially when past the halfway mark of 20 weeks, you begin to feel the lethargy of those extra pounds and awkwardness of a growing belly. It is also a great way to relax and stretch out those ligaments and tendons that have been working overtime during pregnancy.

Best Exercise for Warm Weather

One of the best benefits of swimming during the hot summer months is that it really does cool you down. Overheating is a big risk for pregnant women especially when exercising outside as the temperature begins to sour in the summertime. Women who are pregnant already have a naturally higher internal basal temperature which is one of the early indicators of pregnancy. The cool water of a swimming pool helps to prevent overheating while exercising. However, it is important to remain hydrated even when you are in the pool as your body is working out and expending. It is also important to listen to your body and ease into exercise and take frequent breaks. Your pregnant body will tire quicker and your heart rate should not exceed 140 beats per minute.

Low-impact and Easy to Do:

Water exercises are very easy to do. You don’t have to sign up for a fancy class or need years of yoga training to be ready to do some simple water aerobics. Best of all water exercise is low-impact, so it is very hard to injure yourself as the water breaks the impact of a slip or fall. Even just walking back and forth across the length of the pool is a good water resistance exercise. If you are more ambitious, grab a kick board and kick a few laps or do a frog kick breaststroke. If you are up for a little more, swim a few laps. Just a half hour of swimming or water exercise a day will help tone up your muscles for supporting your baby, can reduced pregnancy-related swelling, lower blood pressure and give more lubrication to your joints and ligaments.

Family Friendly Exercise:

Best of all swimming is a fun exercise the whole family can enjoy. If you have other small children, swimming is a great way to engage with them when you are pregnant and more limited in your physical activity or exercise endeavors. Everybody loves the water and swimming is great way for you to cuddle, hold and actively play with young children who may normally be too heavy for you to lift and carry and while pregnant. It’s also a great time to improve swimming skills and water safety for early swimmers with you in the pool with them rather than watching from the bench. Just helping a little one to swim is water aerobics exercise in itself!

Low Start-up Costs:

In terms of equipment for water exercise, all you really only need is access to a pool and a comfortable maternity swimsuit. Prego Maternity has some excellent simple one piece maternity swimsuits such as the Empire Tank for $69 which gives excellent bust support and a great suit for real swimmers. For a lower cost check out Prego Maternity’s Texture Heart Swimsuit for $48 which is a great all around one piece suit for swimming or water aerobics.

Be sure to get your doctor’s permission before embarking on a prenatal exercise program. There are some high-risk conditions that do rule our exercise during pregnancy. But, for most expecting women it is one of the best exercises you can do for your body and mind.
