]]> pool002 3 years ago, around this time around, I was pregnant with my second child. There’s nothing worse than 100° heat while carrying a baby inside of you. It was hot as hell. Summer means swimming season too which worked out perfectly for me as it turned out coz I swam a lot for my pregnancy exercise. I didn’t do much walking like I did with my 1st child. Swimming, minimally of course (no diving) is a great way to exercise while pregnant, plus it’ll cool you off. Of course, you also need a good maternity swimwear. Swimwear alone is expensive, maternity clothes are even more expensive. Combine the two and it kinda put a damper on the whole Summer. That’s exactly how I felt at that time. Thankfully, my sister-in-law who’s been pregnant 4 times wouldn’t have it. She dragged me to the Outlets and long story short, that’s my belly (and boobs, hehe) in a Motherhood gingham Maternity tankini :) . 

If you’re not willing to spend the Motherhood price,  I found a few affordable maternity swimwear to pick from at WalMart.

Check them out after the fold…

Don’t let the price discourage you from getting that swim this Summer. It’ll be all worth it trust me. I’d recommend a swim instead of walking on a 98° to 100° weather anytime. I don’t know if it’s any consolation to anyone but both of my pregnancy labors were too easy. On my first 1, I walked a lot in the afternoon. It was Winter in Virginia, which didn’t really give us snow. My labor was only 4 hours. My second one, albeit I had to be induced, once it started, it went like a breeze. My Doctor praised me for being a pro even though I’ve only pushed babies twice in my life, LOL. I don’t know if it’s because I really am a pro at labor or because I exercised during both of my pregnancies. Don’t take my word on that though. Consult your Doctor first :) .

By the following year, I was wearing a different tankini. Check it out from Burning The Scale :) .
