Maternity Swimwear: is it necessary?

Question by eml: Maternity Swimwear: is it necessary?
My fiance and I are taking a week long trip to france and staying in a chateau that has a pool. There will be a lot of other people there, as it is for a wedding. Do I really need to buy a maternity swimsuit? Would it be tacky to wear my trusty two piece even though I'll be almost 6 months along and have a little bump? I hate spending money on something like that when we already have such a long of list of things we need to buy for the baby. I can't buy a one piece suit even if I wanted to because I have a long torso and they've never fit me.
Thanks for all your fabulous answers. I have no need to worry about the top being too large. I had trouble filling it out before I got pregnant. Now I should be just big enough that it will fit properly :)

Show the bump! I always smile when I see a beach bum with a bump!

Got a new maternity swimsuit, for less than half retail cost, on eBay. I have my suit from Ardyn, but it's two sizes too big and I can't keep the thing ON. Planning on doing some swimming with Ardyn in the next three months, so I am super excited. I sure hope it fits!

muumuu or maternity swimsuit?
