One of my most vivid memories is of being nine months pregnant in July 2001 and taking a trip to the Los Angeles Zoo with friends. What a mistake! While hiking up and down the hills to the various exhibits, I was dripping with sweat, stopping every ten minutes for a break and cursing the silk blouse and jeans I wanted to peel off.

Most very pregnant women would not make such a trip at that stage in the game. I learned a few lessons that day, most importantly, the value of a comfortable summer wardrobe for mommies-to-be.

So, this summer, kick back, relax and enjoy the warm climate in some of the season's most comfortable options:

Swimwear

Getting in a pool to cool off is a treat for any blossoming babe and it's great exercise to boot.

A Pea In The Pod's Polka Dot Tankini Halter is perfect for lounging without feeling too exposed and for a few laps.
