Maternity Workout Clothes

Does such a thing exist? I've only seen some things on Old Navy.

I'm a runner so I anticipate needing high impact bras (even if my pace is already sluggish!) and other things that are comfy to run in. 

Do I just buy bigger sizes since I'll need that post-preg anyway or can anyone offer other places to get maternity workout clothes? (More affordable than Lululemon prices, please! Stick out tongue) TIA!

    Honestly, I've just worn my normal workout clothes the whole time.  My sports bras are a little tight at this point (39 weeks) but they still pretty much function the same and I'm working out 5-6 days a week doing an eliptical trainer (I go fast) or an hour of brisk walking and haven't had any issues.

    I wore my regular sports bras with Old Navy maternity capris and larger sized t-shirts, some courtesy of my husband :) But I am not a runner so I don't know how comfortable that would be.

    As a runner I had to get new sports bras first and then eventually a couple shirts (my husband is small so his only worked for a short time) and pants. I just went up in size on my sports bra brands. I got a pair of capris, couple pairs of shorts and two tops from Nike. Then when we did races I would register for a larger size tech shirt and use those too.

    Athleta and Title 9 have great bras as you get bigger and need support.  Some are nursing bras as well.  

     For clothes, the selection is not great, I won't lie.  This is my 3rd and I'm a runner as well.  Try:  fit2bmom.com, fitmaternity.com, fortwofitness.com, bornfit.com

    I wore normal clothes my entire pregnancy, but my breasts didn't change in size after the first 7 weeks and I only managed to gain weight in my belly, so I wore my regular pants under the belly and switched to some of my race shirts that were larges or "one size fits all"

    I bought several things from www.fitmaternity.com

    I got a pair of capri tights which were great even after pregnancy until I dropped all the weight and fit into my smaller regular gear.  I bought 4-5 tops which also lasted well and I still can wear even now 2 yrs later b/c they don't look "maternity".  The stuff is a little pricey but probably cheaper than lululemon.  It is good quality and the wicking fabrics were really good for me.  I don't workout in natural fiber clothing anymore b/c I sweat too much and it gets uncomfortable.

    FWIW, I ran until ~31 weeks  but worked out 6 days a week until I delivered at 40w5d.
