I was in the park yesterday. It was one of those public waterparks where the kids got to jump through sprinklers. All of a sudden, I saw one little boy's mother in shorts with the top of a bikini. Part of her stomach had a tatoo. She was probably eight or nine months pregnant. I was so grossed out. Another mother said that I was just sheltered and that if I went downtown, I'd see this all the time. Is this true? Has this gotten to be a regular occurrence or was this pregnant woman just the exception?

I don't know, I don't go to waterparks because I can't bath there (mixed).
I do think 2 pieces bathing suits is common.

They all do it. I think its gross. I once saw a woman wearing regular clothes, but her shirt ended right at the top of her belly. So her whole belly was exposed. Yuck. B"H we have Jewish Law, we have some self respect .

Even though you're right re the skin tight clothes, at least it is clothes. It is unexplainable the feeling you get when you see a whole belly sticking out. Definitely a different sort of madreiga.

Some women don't want to bother getting those one-piece maternity bathing suits because they're expensive, and they're not going to use them more than once. Also, some people like the way their bellies look, and aren't uncomfortable. I was at a playground on Shabbos and saw a very pregnant frum woman with a shirt that was as tight as skin, not much different than an exposed belly. No tattoo, I imagine.

I've never worn one, but I like the way tankinis look. they seem to be less skin tight, even though they are 2 piece suits.

I think these days clothes do not get along with bodies. It's gross. Even people with a nice amount of flesh hanging wears bikinis to the park. Ewe.

My friends mother used to have a really soft pillow with the words, "ewes not fat, ewes fluffy", written on it.

Yes, the image of a woman wearing a fitted maternity shirt tucked into a maternity panel is pretty shocking.
