So here’s the thing about being pregnant: You lose your abs. Shocking, I know, but true. My favorite thing ever is when I’m doing an ab workout (because it’s important to keep those muscles strong, even if you can’t see them!) and Katrina (of Tone It Up, of course) says “let’s sculpt those sexy waistlines, girls!” and I just kind of giggle to myself, because let’s be real. While pregnant, sculpting a sexy waistline is not even on my radar, and neither should it be. With that being said, I’ve fully and completely embraced this bump of mine. I love it, actually. It took so long to make an appearance (thanks to genetics and this long torso of mine) that I feel really proud of it now. Like a “Hey world, look! I AM pregnant! Ha!” even if I only get that for a few months. ;)
Now that the weather is warming up, it’s about time for bikini season! I only have a month(ish) left until my pregnancy is over, but I’m still dreaming of cute bathing suits that would be just darling with (or without!) a little bump. And so, I thought I’d share a few with you! In case you’re currently pregnant or happen to be pregnant during the summer months, these would all look so cute! They’re from my new favorite discovery, The Orchid Boutique, a website with thee cutest bathing suits, like, ever. And they carry Maaji brand, which is what the Tone It Up girls wear all of the time, and I may just be obsessing over the entire line, nbd. And yes, it’s pricey, but I’m thinking sometimes a little splurge is fun, right?
1. Bittersweet Reef Bikini
2. Charli Boyshort
3. Charming Pirate Bikini
4. Parrot Paradise
5. Caleidescope Lime
6. Sparkling Waves
So, I say to you, do not hide that bump! Show it off proudly! I honestly think there aren’t many cuter things than a pregnant girl wearing a bikini and showing off the bump, am I right? Because, really, there isn’t anything more beautiful in the world than what’s going on underneath that bump.

p.s. I’m being featured on ThredUP’s blog today, where I picked out a few of my favorite maternity outfits and one for post-baby! Check it out and leave some love! :)
You have the cutest baby bump- I would rock a bikini all the time if I were you!!! :)
Aww you’re the sweetest! :) I’m rocking it as much as this weather will permit me- it’s been rainy lately, boooo!
xo
Completely agree! You look fabulous! I’ll be rocking my bikini on our mini-vaca in AZ this weekend…3rd pregnancy and all.
YES, that’s awesome! Show it off, mama!

You look so adorable rocking that bikini! That website has a LOT of the swimsuits I’ve been pinning but they are a little too pricey for me to wear considering I live in Wisconsin and get to wear a bikini only a few short months out of the year haha. Have a good weekend!
Yeah, they definitely are pricey!! I’m thinking for a splurge they’re fun, or if nothing else, for some inspiration! :)

You are so tiny!!!!! Also, that 4th bathingsuit is so gorgeous!
Isn’t it gorgeous?! I want them allllll.

I am totally lusting over these suits as well! Your bump is to die for! I love bikini season!
Aw you’re sweet! And I am SO excited for warm weather!!

SO cuuuuute! I’ve always admired the bathing suits that the Tone It Up girls wear, but honestly they’re waaaaay out of my price range! Did you see the details about their retreat?! My gosh that sounded incredible… but again haha way out of my price range!
Girl, I feel you! They are NOT cheap, that’s for sure! I’m thinking a little splurge isn’t too bad every now and then, though, right? ;) It’s great motivation for me to get back in shape after this bebe! And YES, I wiiiiiiish I could go to that retreat! It looks AMAZING. Maybe next year!
xo
EVERYTHING those girls do is great motivation for me to get into shape! And yes – I’ve got my eye on next year too!
You look amazing and are totally inspirational! My sister did Barre throughout her pregnancy and she said it made her delivery so much easier!
Cutest pregnant mom in a swimsuit….EVER!!! Girl, I only wish I looked as phenomenal as you when I was pregnant!! I can’t believe it’s almost over!!
these are all soooo cute! and so are you, I mean seriously you are the cutest prego ever!
Girl! Maaji bikinis are the best! they are butter soft and don’t pinch anywhere! I totally recommend getting one or two ;)
P.S. Love your bikini bump!
