Bikini Baby Bump

Over the weekend, we tried out one of our local public pools for the first time. While splashing with Nic in the kiddie pool, I noticed that there were many pregnant mamas lining the suspiciously warm pool. However, I was the only one in a bikini. The rest were wearing one-pieces, tankinis or swim shirts.
Not my baby bump, but a a beautiful one from Patricil on Flickr.
Was I being immodest? Is it verboten, or at least frowned upon, to wear a bikini during pregnancy (especially late preganancy)? If it is, I say, screw it. I’m not about to go out and shell out money for something I don’t want to wear!
I have nothing against a super sleek sexy one-piece. In fact, I wish that my non-pregnant self was longer and leaner so that I could pull one off. But I’m not into the one-piece for the concept of covering my baby bump up. Just because my belly button is inside-out, that doesn’t mean it’s indecent!
I may have a huge belly, but I’m feeling pretty good about the fact that I don’t have any stretch marks (knock on wood) and that my butt still fits into my non-knocked up bikini bottoms. I was a little nervous to bare so much stretched skin, but I really couldn't bring myself to cover it up. We’re headed on a mini beach vacation for 4th of July though, so we’ll see if I’m still feeling that way at 35 weeks!
What about you: Did you rock the bikini during pregnancy?

If one likes to show off her body during pregnancy what? do not matter all that each one of us accept with maturity being a mother.
