Please help! Can anyone please, please, pretty please recommend a maternity bathing suit for serious lap swimming??? I've taken a break from "hardcore" swimming workouts but still need your typical Speedo-type/-quality suit for doing laps and easy sets. (I've gone down to swimming 2000-2500 yards 4-5 times a week.) There are a multitude of recreation-type maternity swim suits out there or sportier types that claim they're good for lap swimming but have impractical deep U-backs, decorative X-backs, and/or are made of 80-90% COTTON (YIKES!?!?!!!)!!!!!!! If there are any moms out there (or dads who can tell me what their pregnant swimmer wives wore) who can give me any suggestions, they'd be EXTREMELY appreciated!
I'm to the point where even my stretched out Speedos are getting a little too snug (you know, the suits where you've worn them so much that that white stuff rubs off on your skin or you've just turned them into your "drag suits" or you've just outright thrown them out)...
Thanks in advance!!!

Just wanted to say that I found what looked like good maternity swimsuits on World Wide Aquatics, ordered one, and it never arrived. DO NOT ORDER FROM WORLD WIDE AQUATICS! They used to have good service for several years up to sometime in 2005. But now the customer service is poor, products claim to ship but never arrive, and it's impossible to get your money back without calling the credit card company.
Instead, as I was rapidly outgrowing my regular suit, I ended up ordering the same maternity suit from the company that actually makes them, EQ swimwear. Shipping's free, service was great, and I love the bathing suit - just like a regular Speedo except it has room for the "bump"! Fun patterns, back is similar to a proback and material is lycra/spandex. Still happy with it at 7 months. :)

P.S. anyone else having trouble with kicking (freestyle and breastroke) from hip/pelvic pain?
