Maternity running shorts- help!

I'm in desperate need of maternity (or at least ones that will fit someone 23 wks pregnant) running shorts.  I've looking all around online...no, I don't want a running skirt, capris, or spandex tight shorts.  Just regular old nylon running shorts! I'm getting so frustrated because I can't find any and I have basically one pair that fits now.  Even though it's getting cold, I'll wear shorts all winter at the gym.

Anyone have any suggestions? Even if it's regular running shorts with a stretchy waistband that have worked for you, I'll take that!

Re: Maternity running shorts- help!

  • Those Nike Tempo shorts are pretty loose.  Can you size up in a regular pair?  I'm wearing my regular running shorts a bit lower on my waist than I normally would.  
  • My Adidas running shorts from pre-pregnancy have worked great. I just wear them a little lower too like pp said. They are light weight and have a draw string/ elastic waist band, so they have been able to stretch a little as I have grown.

  • I always just used my regular nike running shorts. All the way through 36 weeks. The waistband was low enough that it sat under my bump. I just used DH's big race shirts for my top. This combo worked great.

  • My girlfriend also used her Nike Tempo shorts her whole pregnancy, I plan to do the same. Perhaps just size up, like pp said.

  • I found the same frustration. I ended up buying some running shorts up a size, which I'm hoping will do the trick. They're a little loose now, but I'm hoping that means they'll keep fitting. 

    I couldn't find any "real" maternity workout shorts :(.

  • Thanks everyone! I've tried sizing up with some cheapy ones at Target...they still aren't super comfortable but better than before.  I wish there was a market specifically for this!!

    I bought larger pnes at old navy and target. I liked the target ones better. Elastic waist, fitted under the bump. Worked for me since i hate spending a lot on maternity clothes.
