Photo: Parents / Tyler Roeland Summer is coming and if you’re looking for a maternity swimsuit to help you and your bump stay cool waterside, we’ve rounded up some swimsuit picks under $40 that will get you through pregnancy—and beyond. Personally, I've had three all-through-summer pregnancies and the one and only thing that got me through the seemingly endlessly hot and humid months was having access to a pool. For pregnant people, water can be a game-changer, so whether you’re packing up for a babymoon or just hitting the neighborhood pool, be sure to pick up a new suit so you can feel good while beating the heat. Ruffled Maternity Swimsuit Amazon I’m not ashamed to admit that I own this suit and I’m not even pregnant. After birthing five children, I basically have a perma-bump so I can attest that this swimsuit is both comfortable and supportive in the abdominal area, with plenty of stretch to accommodate a growing bump. One Amazon shopper called this option the “most perfect maternity swimsuit,” adding that “the fit is amazing” and that it’s “so comfy” and “flattering.” The suit comes in 11 different colors and thanks to conveniently-ruffled shoulder straps, would also make an ideal suit to pull down for nursing or pumping. To buy: Summer Mae Ruffled Maternity Swimsuit starts at $36.99 (was $46.99); amazon.com Cutout Maternity Monokini Amazon If you’re feeling like flashing a little shoulder with your new pregnancy bod, this is the suit for you.

To buy: Summer Mae Cutout Maternity Monokini starts at $32.99; amazon.com Halter Maternity Suit Amazon This maternity swimsuit is so pretty and has ample space up top for larger breasts, or just those magical pregnancy breasts that can grow in size overnight. It has a tie halter top, so you can get more of a custom fit, as well as side ruching and belly support. Some reviewers warn that the suit runs small, while others report wearing it even up to their due dates in their normal sizes. “It’s so flattering” raved one shopper who ordered at eight months pregnant. “It holds me in great and still shows off my baby bump without squeezing or pinching anywhere.” To buy: MakeMeChic Halter Cross Front Bathing Suit $32.99; amazon.com High-Waist Bandeau Maternity Two-Piece Amazon Get the best of both worlds in this ruffled bandeau option, thanks to a high-waist bottom that can hold up to your expanding midsection, and a bikini top that gives you even more room. Personally, I’ve always found bikinis easier than one-pieces during pregnancy because you never have to worry about the endless bathroom trips. This choice has a near five-star rating on Amazon and reviewers say it’s “beautiful” and “comfortable.” To buy: Summer Mae High-Waist Bandeau Two-Piece $38.99; amazon.com Ruffled Hem Floral Maternity Bikini Amazon In keeping with the bikini theme, this option adds some ruffling to the top and ruching to the bottom for added stretch potential.

Choose from six different color and pattern options in sizes up to XXL.
