Pregnant and fabulous

Yesterday, I was feeling shy about possibly wearing a bikini while pregnant, but then my friend sent me these gorgeous photos of Anna, who is rocking the sexy-mama look in Australia. She shows off her bump proudly, and I love that! I'm so inspired!

  5. I was going to comment the other day but then I didn't have time. Wearing a bikini when I was pregnant was one of the best parts of being pregnant because it's the only time in your life that no one can say anything about how enormous your stomach is. It was so much fun to flaunt.

    Read this too, although I would go for the actual bikini. http://www.designmom.com/2009/10/laura-mayes-thoughts-on-being-two.html

    I would also invest in a really good pair of maternity jeans that don't fall down.

  11. nothing wrong with being proud of the bump! :) however, i *did* hear that exposing your pregnant belly to the cold air is not healthy...? i don't know if it's an old wives' tale or if there's some merit in it...

  15. aw jo! you should totally rock your belly every chance you get! I mean how often do you get to be in a bathing suit with an awesome baby belly? not very often :) do it girl...

    ReplyDelete

  16. i don't know--it still seems a little bit too much for me!
    Maybe it has something to do with the intimacy of pregnancy...

  17. I love sexy mamas to be in bikinis. This reminded me of a shoot I had, check it out! http://rachelthurston.blogspot.com/2009/07/julia.html
    Better yet come to LA and let me shoot your belly! xo.

  18. simply adorable! you rock your belly, joanna i'm sure you'll be just smashing in a bikini

    ReplyDelete

  19. if anyone can pull of a bikini while preggers, it's you! can't wait to see what you pick!

    ReplyDelete

  20. Yes, you should just do it! Since we're talking about bare-skinned baby bumps, I used Vita-K lotion on my belly twice a day, and it helped with stretchmarks, if you are afraid you might get them. My husband loved rubbing it on my belly for me - since I was due around Thanksgiving, he used to check my "turkey timer" (aka belly button) to see if it had popped and that little turkey was done cooking. Does Alex talk to the baby and ask "hey, who's in there," like my hubby did? That's the best part!

  21. Definitely go for it! But for those times when you aren't in a bikini, I just came across this fabulous maternity top that I think you'd love. Check it out http://designismine.blogspot.com/2010/01/enceinte-oui-oui.html

    I think it is cute, and those pics are great. But, my sister's doc said too much direct sun exposure isn't good for the baby, so I would just check that out if I were you. love the high waisted though!

    ReplyDelete

  28. Darlin' ...just let it all hang out!

    The low rise bikini is the only thing that will offer you comfort. Work with the new body, not against.

  29. i loved wearing a bikini at the pool while pregnant. one year later, i'm feeling much more shy--i miss the belly!

    ReplyDelete

  30. Pregnant women in bikinis are sososoo adorable! These photos are gorgeous! Go for it!! xx

    ReplyDelete

    Rock the bump! I must say, though, that the boobs are what kept me out of a bikini - I was a small B that expanded to a healthy C and was so accustomed to being small on top that the added boobs felt a little obscene!

    ReplyDelete

  34. ha, kristi, i know exactly what you mean! :)

    ReplyDelete

  35. There is no reason to feel shy! When you're pregnant is one of the only times you can truly get away with wearing a bikini and letting a big belly hang out! Do it! You're having a baby- its exciting and wonderful not something to feel awkward about.
    I used to work for a high end swim wear company and loved when pregnant gals came into the shop- we'd always convince them to forgo the one piece for a bikini and they always looked SO CUTE!
    Though I would think twice about high waisted- its just going to hit the bump awkwardly rather than a low rider which could go more under bump. High waisted can be more unforgiving than skimpier bottoms.

  37. You should totally rock the bare belly look!

    That said, make sure you slather yourself with a high SPF sunscreen, especially on the belly. Trust me, I know from experience ... you DO NOT want a sunburn on a baby bump. It hurts and itches more than I can explain.

    The bikini is the way to go, though ... it'll keep you from feeling like you're wearing a tent all the time. :o)

  38. She looks amazing as I am sure you do as well!!!

    ReplyDelete

  39. Pregnant women are the most beautiful creatures. There is nothing more gorgeous than baking a wee little bubba.

    Wear your bikini. You know you want to. xx

    ReplyDelete

  40. That's funny because these shots were posted on another blog MINUTES before I read your post about covering up with a tank top. She looks awesome! You could totally rock the bump! And as for the sun...it's all about sunscreen. People will have all kinds of things to say to scare you. (P.S. Yes, you can still eat goat cheese.)

    ReplyDelete

  41. I can't say I would be that confident, but knowing my build, I will probably swell all over.
    Go for it! You have an adorable, pregnant body.

    ReplyDelete

  42. oh, yes, T, i loved the high-waisted suit for post-pregnancy. i agree, it would never work with a giant belly! :)

    ReplyDelete

  43. wearing a bikini while you're pregnant is a must!

    ReplyDelete

  44. she's gorgeous, as most pregnant women are! you should be proud of your pregnant tummy too!

    ReplyDelete

  45. I know you can pull it off! You will look fab, Joanna!

    ReplyDelete

  46. That's so cute! When I was pregnant that was the ONLY time in my life that I felt really comfortable in a bikini. Everyone was so in love with my belly that I didn't feel self conscious at all!

    Go for it! I bet you will look every bit as amazing as this beautiful woman :)

  47. I was at a resort laying in the lazy river with my bikini on the weekend before I gave birth. It's awesome.

    ReplyDelete

  48. Everytime I'm on vacation there are pregnant women in bikinis...go for it! I did when I was pregnant and felt sexier than I ever have.

    ReplyDelete

  49. Joanna, two things:
    1) yes, you can def rock the bikini-bump look.

    2) you have such a massive readership, it would be killer if you made a little plug for some haiti relief effort opportunities. this one is so easy:

    Text “HAITI” to "90999" to make a $10 donation to American Red Cross relief efforts in Haiti.

    Cheers! lily @ bigBANG

  56. That is a great and inspiring shot. There is nothing to be ashamed of sporting a pregnant belly in a bikini. It's beautiful and hopefully more women feel liberated and confident to wear what they want as a result of the post.

    ReplyDelete

  57. go for it! but i recommend wearing EXTRA-super high power sunscreen on that belly. ...and maybe then some self-tanning lotion.

    ReplyDelete

  58. She really does look great! Congrats on the baby, didn't know you were expecting.

    ReplyDelete

  59. Oooh what a lovely surprise to be on your blog Joanna! I think you would look adorable in a bikini. Go for it! I've never felt happier with my body so it feels so lovely to go to the beach with the belly out in all its glory. Look forward to seeing your baby bump grow over the coming weeks :)

  64. She pulls it off, and Im sure you would to! But pregnancy doesnt look good on EVERYONE I've seen some pregnant women in bikinis that should have probably waited til after the baby was born...eeek!

    ReplyDelete

  65. I think it is a great idea.. When I was pregnant it was so much easier to wear a bikini- besides I had to buy a much larger top which made it even more fun!

    EXACTLY! i think is so beautifull to see a pregnant woman showing her belly... i live in Brazil, and there was a woman back in the '60s who made sort of a revolution by showing her belly in a bikini. Her name is Leila Diniz and her image became a symbol of this chapter in women liberation here...

  86. honey, showing your belly during pregnancy is one of the most freeing experiences ever! I love to show off my belly. It was a fantastic feeling to be able to bare all and not have an ounce of self consciousness. People always said nice things, if anything at all. Relish in it!
