And in the event I didn't want to just wear a tanktop, I'd layer one of those underneath a regular workout shirt that (at that point) was just super short. I've also done similar with some of the long Mossimo wife-beater type tanks from Target.</p> <p>I'm pretty sure you're tall-ish (or at least, not short), so those suggestions may not be particularly helpful! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-find-maternity-gym-clothes#post-2566994 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 13:13:45 +0000 Boogs 2566994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Aww excited for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-find-maternity-gym-clothes#post-2566983 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 12:52:02 +0000 regberadaisy 2566983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: 🙌🙌 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-find-maternity-gym-clothes#post-2566969 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 12:43:07 +0000 pwnstar 2566969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I have a pair of For Two capris that I really like. They are very supportive and the belly panel can be completely folded down, worn half up/half down, or all the way up. I wear them multiple times a week, and they have held up beautifully (I am almost 31 weeks).</p> <p>@Mrs. Pickle: I do the same thing (sports bra and no top)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-find-maternity-gym-clothes#post-2566968 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 12:42:32 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2566968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was able to wear Old Navy capris under my belly. I worked out at home so I just wore a sports bra and no top. :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-find-maternity-gym-clothes#post-2566965 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 12:37:50 +0000 avivoca 2566965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I haven't had any issues with them falling down, but I'm only halfway through.

I should have specified that I liked Old Navy's maternity capris the best. Pre-pregnancy I like Nike. </p> <p>Absolutely! Elastic waist! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-find-maternity-gym-clothes#post-2566951 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 12:23:05 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2566951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well this is exciting!</p> <p>But working out and maternity don't mix for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-find-maternity-gym-clothes#post-2566950 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 12:21:18 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2566950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: I'm so excited to start trying! I wish I could now, but DH needs a job lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-find-maternity-gym-clothes#post-2566949 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 12:20:57 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2566949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjd: yeah those are the types of workouts I do, so I want something that will hold up to it! I saw old navy has a maternity active line so I'll likely try that.. And maybe stick with elastic waistband shorts as long as possible lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-find-maternity-gym-clothes#post-2566944 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 12:15:53 +0000 pregnantbee 2566944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Still yay :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-find-maternity-gym-clothes#post-2566943 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 12:15:06 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2566943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: @Boogs: lol nope, not yet. But possibly TTC very soon. Just waiting to see if DH gets a job offer we're waiting on!<br /> I'm just thinking of the (hopefully very) near future :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-find-maternity-gym-clothes#post-2566920 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 11:55:30 +0000 Boogs 2566920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I don't have any advice...but congrats?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-find-maternity-gym-clothes#post-2566919 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 11:54:58 +0000 mrsjd 2566919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do crossfit, so there's a lot of squats and moving around. I normally prefer shorts over capris but maternity activewear shorts basically don't exist. I could wear my lululemon shorts until 24 weeks. At 27 weeks, I can wear one pair of regular capris from Nike but they roll a little. I have liked Old Navy capris the best. I think they're flattering with good stretch and they haven't rolled on me. I hated Target's. Tried their brand and the Ingrid &amp; Isabel brand. They didn't feel like they'd last long over the bump and they slid down majority just walking around. So far my regular bras and lululemon shirts fit. </p> <p>I'm SUPER impressed at those who can still wear their prepreg workout capris all the way through. I'm carrying high and haven't gained a ton of weight but my workout capris are screaming for help. KUDOS! Also, I can I say I just hate maternity clothes generally. I'm ready to have a waist again. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-find-maternity-gym-clothes#post-2566900 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 11:36:01 +0000 pregnantbee 2566900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Haha, like @regberadaisy: I also assumed you were asking for a "friend." (Congrats?!) :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-find-maternity-gym-clothes#post-2566899 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 11:34:32 +0000 MrsSCB 2566899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: the problem with non-maternity workout tops, I'm finding, is I've been wearing my regular ones (yay stretchy spandex haha) buuuut they're getting a little short at the bottom now :meh: I've mostly decided I don't care because I'm only going to the gym in my apartment building anyway, but if that would bother you, maternity tanks might be better. Old Navy does seem to have some nice options, and good sales right now! <a href="http://www.oldnavy.com/products/maternity-workout-wear.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.oldnavy.com/products/maternity-workout-wear.jsp</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-find-maternity-gym-clothes#post-2566896 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 11:33:28 +0000 psw27 2566896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore my normal workout capris (typically old navy) throughout my pregnancy, I just kept them under the bump. I sized up and got flowy style tanks for when my shirts were creeping up (so annoying!) or I wore t-shirts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-find-maternity-gym-clothes#post-2566892 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 11:30:41 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2566892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: lol exactly 😎😜</p> <p>@Silva: @Mamaof2: @avivoca: I think that'd be fine for workout tops, but for bottoms I would just think that they'd fall down! I already experience that issue with regular leggings and prefer to get high rise so they stay put! I hate tugging and pulling things up during workouts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-find-maternity-gym-clothes#post-2566889 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 11:28:48 +0000 alphagam84 2566889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These aren't maternity tanks but I bought a bunch in a size medium and wore them for all my workouts. They were so comfy and stretched comfortably until the very end!</p> <p><a href="http://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&#038;pid=643266152" rel="nofollow">http://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&#038;pid=643266152</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-find-maternity-gym-clothes#post-2566642 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 07:31:09 +0000 Mamaof2 2566642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I sized up in regular work out clothes - went from a small to a medium to a large by the end and then wore them again in reverse as I lost the baby weight </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-find-maternity-gym-clothes#post-2566640 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 07:25:30 +0000 mamabolt 2566640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stuck with ON but zulily seems to have a lot of options rotating through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-find-maternity-gym-clothes#post-2566634 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 07:17:10 +0000 avivoca 2566634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I size up.

I think they're meant to adjust up/down in length, but work for adjusting out for a bump, too! :) brand is Tek Gear </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-find-maternity-gym-clothes#post-2566620 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 06:53:48 +0000 Silva 2566620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Moving comfort makes sports bras that adjust at the top of the cup, so they work well for nursing post partum too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-find-maternity-gym-clothes#post-2566619 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 06:51:50 +0000 Silva 2566619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found sizing up in stuff from tj maxx to be the best option, plus I didn't feel weird wearing them post partum. I did get some work out capris from old navy but I feel like I have to pull them up a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-find-maternity-gym-clothes#post-2566579 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 00:34:52 +0000 OldpuebloJenn 2566579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Belabumbum has nice activewear. Ingrid &amp; Isabel (target carries their cheaper brand beMaternity). Cake maternity for bras. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-find-maternity-gym-clothes#post-2566572 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 00:09:02 +0000 pregnantbee 2566572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: There's a small handful of items in person at Target. Maybe a bigger selection online there? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-find-maternity-gym-clothes#post-2566564 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 23:43:56 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2566564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think old navy has some workout clothes for pregnancy- any place else I'm missing? Can't seem to find many options... </p>
