suggestions on maternity running/workout clothes?

NHRunner

everything I find seems crazy expensive.  where did others find reasonably priced maternity workout and/or running gear?  or did you just go up a size or two in normal clothes?  I am so used to buying from the C9 line at Target, so most items under $20.  Doesn't look like they do anything for maternity in that line.   I appreciate any suggestions!

I always just wore elastic waist pants/short under my belly and a maternity t-shirt.

I have run into the same problem too.  I don't know why there aren't  more workout maternity clothes options.  I guess people still think you aren't suppose to workout when you are preggo. 

I am 30 weeks and wearing my same running/workout shorts, but just having to wear them a little lower under the bump.  I have bought a couple of longer tank-tops in a size larger.  They seem to work fine.  I hate wearing shirts with sleeves when I workout, so t-shirts are a no-go.  You might want to check out TJ-Maxx or Marshalls.  They have good stuff for pretty cheap.

I bought workout pants from GAP and some tanks from them. If you wait for a sale the prices aren't too bad.

I wear my Old Navy yoga capris every day - they are comfortable and have held up. Unfortunately, I'm struggling with shirts as I have a long torso so adding in bigger boobs and a bump....well, I spend a lot of time yanking my shirt down over my belly! I've ended up mostly wearing men's tshirts and feeling frumpy and hot!:(

I didn't buy anything special. Almost all of my running shorts and pants were stretchy enough to go the full pregnancy.  And I wore my old race t-shirts -- up until then I always got upset that most races have no special sizes for women and my race t-shirts just sat in a drawer because even men's small was way too big for me!  But they came in handy for pregnancy.  I ran past 41 weeks the first time and didn't have any special clothes; I'll probably do the same thing this time around.

Most of my shorts still fit if I wear them under my belly. When I was still running, I still fit into my shorts and running tights. Now I am just walking and don't worry about chafing as much, so I borrow H's t-shirts since I am just at home. 

My lululemon pants actually still fit. (My belly is measuring 37 cm for reference) I have the Groove pants and although there is some slight muffin top-age, it's not that bad.

I wore my normal running shorts and my husband's larger running shirts throughout my pregnancy.

I am still able to wear my normal capris/pants. For tops, once I outgrew some of my larger technical race shirts, I have switched to wearing my regular, stretchy fabric maternity tank tops. Check if your local Target carries the BeMaternity line (some near me carry it, some don't), but I love their stretchy tanks for every day wear and working out!
