Looking for the Perfect Swimsuit

I'm 5 months pregnant and need to find the perfect swimsuit for the summer months. I've been to a few stores and can't find anything that fits correctly. I prefer the "tankini" style, but one-pieces would work too. Any ideas of where I can go (and preferably without spending a fortune)? We're taking a trip next month (our last before baby comes) and I would love to feel & look great in a swimsuit :) THANKS!

What can I do next?

(get these in a regular woman's (or plus sizes work too!) size in store before you go in a blue square or Madagascar or bitter chocolate. (If you want to go with the gap top.)

I hope this helps and makes life a little easier. :) Good luck girl I wish I could go on a vacation when I was 5 months along and look fab, so have a fun time for all us moms who couldn't. :) And take lots of pictures, to show the little one some day.

When I was pregnant, we went to Hawaii. I spent $90 on a Japanese Weekend Tankini that I just had to have. Then I spent less than $30 (?) on a Liz Lange for Target Tankini. Guess which one ended up being the best fit, most comfortable, etc.......Yep the Target one. Check them out.

I got mine at Mervens. It was a one piece and I can still wear it which helps with the stretch marks. Good luck.

When I was pregnant with my daugther who was born in late August I found a really cute tankini that was maternity at Old Navy. I also live in north county San diego.
