Maternity wear - for the gym!

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?

Re: Maternity wear - for the gym!

  • 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.

  • Target has capri's, tanks, and short sleeve shirts in their maternity section.  I am gearing up to throw the capri's on this evening to work out. 
  • 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.

  • Fit 2 be mom has really cute workout/maternity clothes. I wear them as regular clothes as well. Not sure on the spelling or if be is "b".

  • 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:)
