Was it wrong of me to wear bikinis??!

Nope don't see her way of thinking at all. Times have most definitely changed because I think it's beautiful & plenty of women I know wear a bikini when pregnant. My mum must have been really outrageous, she is 52 & there's a photo of her at the beach in her bikini when she was pregnant with me. A pregnant belly is a beautiful thing, wear it proudly

OK STOP getting angry. There is no point and it is not worth raising you blood pressure over.


You mum is right, in HER day that was the case. Guess what, it's not HER day anymore, it's OUR day. Go and flaunt that belly. When my folks come out with something like that, I am very quick to remind them we no longer live in the 'stone age'. I have seen alot of pregnant women at the beach and the pool in bikinis - I'm just jealous that I don't look good enough to pull it off.

Back in the day, anything less then a full head to toe swimsuit would have been deemed innapropriate even if you weren't pregnant.

Although I had a moment the other week with my younger sister, who beleives the g-string and sequined bra she wore on stage was a perfectly acceptable 'dance' costume. Personally, I would only agree if she were a stripper would it be an appropriate costume, and that a bikini breif would have been less skanky. Apparantly I am now an old prude, maybe I am, but if I am thinking it at 28yrs old, then I can garauntee you I'm not the only one.

I think the pregnancy belly is the most beautiful thing! Looking at the facts you were swimming! So naturally a bikini is very fitting for the occasion plus you are 24 (I'm same age) and I plan to wear my bikini's pregnant or not so let it all out baby

I can't see why you should feel uncomfortable because you were just chilling out in the pool and if your mum said this in regard to being embarrassed in front of her friends then maybe see should not care what anyone else thinks and happy you were there to spend the day out having a relaxing swim.

Things have changed a lot since the 70's but that can be a good thing too. My mum is the same age and we both agree that if you are walking at woolies wearing a tank top, riding up over your belly, short shorts and crusty thongs then ok.....maybe should consider a different attire but in a pool on a hot day....go for it and be proud!
