Maternity Swimwear

I'm really curious to hear thoughts about this topic. I *googled* "maternity swimwear" and found many helpful sites as well as many interesting conversations. One of the boldest, and funniest--in my opinion, was the topic of "baring your growing" belly. It seems that pregnancy bikinis are quite the popular trend these days, but imagining myself in one of those get-ups made me feel gross--and sorry for anyone else who had to look at me.



I'm going to need a materninty swimsuit. Patrick and I are going to Destin the first week of June, and I plan on spending the rest of my summer floating and immersing my pregnant self in the neighborhood pool.



Here are a couple of things I've found.












I'm wondering about the skirt--if it is necessary. I'm thinking I'll probably want as much skin covered as possible--especially for walking on the beach--but do you think it is a must have? Any suggestions/ideas are welcomed!
