Pregnant swimming is the way forward! 

Well this is just typical, isn't it?! After 2 or 3 rubbish summers with cool evenings and piles of rain... here we go with what looks set to be a scorcher. Which is fine if you can wear teeny tiny bras, ra ra skirts and strappy wedges. If however, you are 7 months up the duff and have boobs the size of a big mac meal, it isn't ideal!

I just had a week in Ibiza doing pretty much nothing, which was just peachy. It threw up the swimming costume challenge, to tum or not to tum that is the question! I went for the bikini option, only to end up with a small sunburnt circle on my belly button.

It was nice however to not have to suck in my tummy, stand up and place hand on hip everytime anyone came over for a chat. That pressure to look awesome in a two-piece bit of nothing just wasn't there, which was kind of liberating I have to say.

I'm off for a swim again this week, it's definitley the way forward. That and a bit of pilates to stretch that lower back out is helping the uncomfortable waddling phase no end.

Roll on next week..10 weeks to go !
