My belly has a little growing to do but my gym clothes are getting a little too tight to wear. I've been searching the internet and haven't had much luck finding work out wear. Any suggesions?
The old navy yoga pants with the fold over waist. You can pull it up to go over your belly or wear it folded. I am getting more on Friday when I get paid.
I'm too small for maternity wear still, but I'm definitely getting a belly. All of my workout tops were tight and riding up as I did my cardio--not cute!
For now, I just bought two short-sleeved workout shirts that are looser in the belly. All of my other tops were tanks and they were really tight, so I think these will work well until I need real maternity wear. The good thing is that I'll be able to wear them after baby too. I just bought mine from Kohl's in the regular workout section.
I hope other people chime in. I just went out and bought larger sizes in reg clothes because I couldn't not find ANY work out maternity clothes that were worth buying. They are all awful!
I've been wearing dh's shorts and old tees. Not exactly fashionable,but they work. As I get bigger, I'll just go buy more in the mens dept at our local sporting goods store. The ones I'm stealing are by russell athletics and the shorts/tees each run about $8, and go up to XXL. Oh, and they have a long crotch (since they're cut for guys), so I can hike the waistbands up high enough to catch what's left of my waist and tie them so they don't slide off. Unlike maternity jeans

Thanks guys, this is really helpful! I'm doing fine in the pants department, it's the shirts that are really hard to find. I thought about buying some t-shirts (dry fit) in bigger sizes too, but I think when I'm really big it will be a problem again.
I am in the same boat. My normal shirts are tighter and they are riding up too. I found one site that sells maternity active tops but they were $60. Seriously, not for a few months!
I just bought some cotton short sleeve tees that were on sale at Old Navy for 3.99. I don't love the colors, but I like the price. I got them online in the maternity sale section. They arrived today and they are definitely long enough to cover the belly.
I just bought some tanks from Old Navy (the 2 for $15 ones) and got a size bigger than usual to go over my belly (and they are longer too). Good luck:)
