Featuring Bikini Mama's Model, Suzanne Toth

As you all may know, we started running a Bikini Mama's Model Search campaign on Instagram and Facebook.  We wanted to feature actual Bikini Mama's clients; real women in our traditional, maternity and nursing swimwear.  We are happy to announce our first feature, Suzanne Toth.  Suzanne looks absolutely radiant in our Black Push-Up Maternity Bikini, sporting her oh-so-cute baby bump.  

Not only is Suzanne a blogger and mother, but she's also a Certified Lamaze Childbirth Educator.  Here's a little blurb about Suzanne from her website SuzanneToth.com...

"I remember so clearly the day that I realized I wanted to become a childbirth educator. I was sitting in session one of a prenatal series being taught at the London Health Unit, six months pregnant with my son Owen. As I listened to the instructor speak an immense sense of excitement overcame me, and I couldn't help but think that this woman had the most wonderful job in the world.....and then it struck me: this was something that I wanted to do.

My passionate interest in working with parents and parents-to-be never left me and so I embarked on my journey. After completing my studies of Childbirth Education through Douglas College and Lamaze International, I became certified and have been happily preparing expecting parents ever since! Not everyone is able to do what they love or embrace what they are passionate about, and I am so blessed to have found a field of work that I truly love."

Thank you, again, Suzanne, for sharing your pictures.  Please feel free ladies to keep on sharing.  We will post two featured Bikini Mama's models every month. 

Swimsuits with Moms in Mind - Maternity/Nursing swimwear

When I was pregnant (what now feels like ages ago) I was surprised I wasn't able to find much of a selection in swimwear when it came to nursing or maternity tops.  I knew I wanted to breastfeed and I wanted to find swimwear that I still felt sexy in.  I searched everywhere, in maternity stores, on the web and I couldn't find anything.  I decided to take matters into my own hands and designed my own line of maternity/nursing swimwear, that allows Moms to conveniently and discreetly nurse their child poolside or at the beach, while still looking trendy and sexy. 

Instead of having an opening under the breast, like most of the swimwear out there, I decided to use nursing clips.  I found the suits with the opening under the breast didn't give any support and we all know how big our breasts can get when engorged.  I designed a swimsuit line that not only offers the support under the breast, but the inner frame also pushes the breasts up, enhancing cleavage (wink, wink).  The solid, one-handed nursing clips are so easy to clip and un-clip.

All of the tops are completely adjustable, so they adjust to the ever-evolving pregnant body, the weight gain and weight loss.  You can wear our swimwear during pregnancy, post-pregnancy or as a traditional swimsuit.  You can check out all the benefits of our nursing tops with this video.

Creative Halloween Baby Bumps

I love Halloween.  Halloween is such a creative time of year.  The thought put into Halloween costumes and even home decorations is amazing.  This year I came across pictures of pregnant women that decorated or incorporated their baby bump.  One painted her bump as a beach ball, while dressed in a bikini.  Being that I'm in the swimwear business, this one ended up being my favorite. 

But I must give shout-outs to the other creative new moms out there.  One mommy-to-be painted her pregnant belly as a pumpkin while her husband held a carved pumpkin beside her, with the arrival date and name of their soon-to-be newborn baby.

Then there's the scary baby bump costumes - a fitted t-shirt with baby arms coming out of the belly, surrounded by blood.  The DIY costumes, like the cat costume with the fish bowl painted on the belly, I also enjoyed.  This sunny-side-up costume on Huffington Post http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/11/halloween-costumes-for-pregnant-women-2013_n_4071993.html cracked (LOL) me up.

Halloween is all about kids, family and of course candy.  Keep up the Halloween spirit Moms.  Thanks for sharing.  Here are some pics...
