Sun’s out, bump’s out, right? As temperatures rise, expectant and postpartum parents need appropriate attire for babymoon vacays and poolside playdates. Although you could try to stick with your pre-pregnancy suits for a while longer, there’s a good chance you’ll wish you had something made for your changing body to stay cool and comfortable over the next few months—or even saved for another pregnancy!

A swimsuit may not be at the top of your maternity (or postpartum) wardrobe wishlist, but modern styles pack more than just a way to enjoy the water, such as pumping-friendly access, flattering cuts, and dynamic fabrics that can stretch and support before, during, and after baby arrives. No matter which fit or style you prefer, or if you’re currently pregnant, postpartum, or breastfeeding, there’s a maternity suit out there to get you through the heat of summer.

This cute spin on a classic silhouette by PinkBlush Maternity combines everything you want in a staple suit: ruched sides, adjustable straps, a striking solid hue, and a touch of contemporary flair with front and back cutouts. You’ll be well-covered and supported without feeling dull.

A pumping-friendly swim top is long overdue—because expressing breast milk is time sensitive! This DAVIN & ADLEY cami is designed with a top layer that lifts to reveal a built-in liner with overlapped flanged slits. It also features adjustable straps and a scoop neckline that’s both flattering and practical for breastfeeding parents. The swim top is available in three patterns and is the perfect length to pair with your favorite bikini bottoms.

An over-the-belly bikini is a great approach to a two-piece if you’d prefer to avoid baring the bump. The details on this matching set by Motherhood Maternity are especially adorable, from the square neckline to the criss-cross backing to the orange dot print. The suit’s fabric also offers UPF 50+ protection for added defense from the sun’s rays.

The surplice neckline and tie-straps on this HAPARI tankini top make nursing your little one easy peasy. It features a double-lined bra for added support and discreet pockets for removable foam cups or nursing pads to help prevent leakage. This attractive top is made with sustainable fabric and comes in 11 different prints and patterns.

If you opt for a suit that’s not specifically designed for pregnancy, look for one with tie straps on the shoulders for increased comfort and adaptability for your growing chest and belly. We’re fans of the Albion Fit full-coverage, checkered one-piece because it’s available in 12 patterns and sizes ranging from XXS to XXXL, it offers UPF 45 protection, and the timeless design can be worn for years to come.

A water-friendly short is a seasonal staple we didn’t know we needed! These swim bottoms by Kindred Bravely boast a low-rise waistband, meaning they fit perfectly under your belly during pregnancy and at your hips postpartum. Each pair comes fully lined and features functional inner pockets large enough to hold your phone.

Made with on-trend ribbed fabric, this minimalist suit from LainSnow is perfect for wearing all summer long, whether you’re catching some vitamin D, building sandcastles with a busy toddler, or swimming laps at the local pool. The sporty-chic design grows with your body through each trimester and can be used long after baby arrives. (Check out their maternity highlight on Instagram for sizing tips.)

If you’re rocking a larger chest during pregnancy or postpartum (or permanently!) and assume a bandeau top won’t provide enough structure, think again. Fantasie offers inclusive sizing with supportive tops ranging from D to I cups. The padded, underwired cups provide a rounded shape and will keep you feeling secure without straps. Bonus: This top comes with optional straps, just in case you decide you want a little extra boost.

Let your pregnancy glow and glamour be on full display in this gorgeous frill-sleeved bikini with eyelet detail from Cache Coeur. The top is fully lined with fixed cups, and the low-waste briefs won’t obstruct your baby bump. One reviewer said this suit made her “feel pretty when [she] otherwise was feeling a bunch of other kinds of ways.” We feel that.

Turn any swimsuit into a swim dress with the ruched skirt from SUMMERSALT. The pull-on design features a front wrap detail with side ruching for an ultra-flattering fit that can be paired with any one-piece. This pick is ideal if you want versatile coverage or prefer the silhouette of a dress-style suit.

We know it may be difficult to bare your skin while your pregnant or postpartum body is changing, but buying the right swimsuit will keep you feeling confident, supported, comfortable, and cool as the summer season heats up.
