Do you wear maternity or regular workout gear?

Do you wear maternity or regular workout gear?

i have a pair of maternity yoga pants, but elsewise it's just been bigger shorts and a pair of lulu pants that fit well

REgular! I usually wear velour track pants when I work out. They're comfy

Just maternity leggings from old navy. I looked for maternity specific workout gear but it was always super expensive so I never bought any

No, I've worn my same workout pants, just folded below my belly, and the same shirts or DH's undershirts I just work out in my building's gym so it's not like I see anyone. If I"m going to a fitness class, I wear maternity tanks though.

I bought some maternity work out pants from the Gap. I wear a larger sized T on top.

I wear a super stretchy pair of Bebe Sport workout capris that go under my belly and one of DH's solid black or gray Hanes tshirts. My Lululemon Wonder Unders are size 4 and so they started cutting off my circulation a while ago! And I didn't want to spend $80 on LL in a bigger size. So me and these Bebe capris are just getting a lot of QT together:)

@anonysquire: I got them at Bebe....I'm not even sure if they still have Bebe Sport! It was their workout stuff...I got them like 5 years ago!

I always like the fold over yoga pants, some are maternity and some aren't but they're pretty much the same.

I wore my Lululemon Groove pants the other day and seriously was already uncomfortable, like it was giving me gas pains! I'm so sad about it. I think I'll have to resort to all my fold-over yoga pants, though I haven't really done any w/o's except for walking. Juicy track pants are really nice and low and comfy, though too hot for working out!

I wore a great pair of maternity yoga pants that I found at Ross... but I never worked out during pregnancy!

For the workouts I did, I needed the maternity gear. I did 2 mile jogs throughout most of my pregnancy. My regular workout clothes got too tight too quick. I ended up with 3 maternity wicking tops that I could jog in, 2 pants to jog in and 3 yoga pants.
Although, if you're not working out much, you could get by with some yoga pants. Those were so comfy that I wore them everywhere!!

During my second trimester I was fine with just buying a larger pair of mesh shorts, but now in my third trimester it's maternity leggings and my husband's dri-fit workout t-shirts (which cover my butt -- a very good thing!).

I bought a pair of Gap yoga pants and just wore a really stretchy tank when working out.

I have a couple pairs of maternity workout pants and some t-shirts but when those are in the wash I just end up wearing my regular stuff. Maybe it's the kind of pants I have but I am certainly not as comfortable in my regular pants. I have to keep pushing them down to stay below my belly and if the ride up the elastic around my waist hurts! I also think the maternity tees are more flattering!

@BabyBoecksMom: I'm definitely not working out hard core. I think I need a a pair of larger mesh shorts for my light jogs but the yoga stuff should be ok for my elliptical workouts and walks!

I haven't done any working out while pregnant due to horrible morning sickness and sciatica, but since I work from home I tend to wear workout gear a lot since it's comfy. I wear all my pre-pregnancy gear. right now I'm wearing sweat pants that had a fold over waist, but I pull the foldover part over my belly like maternity pants. My yoga pants and my long stretchy tanks all still fit too (34 weeks+4 days)

I like shorts when I work out, but I'll probably have to buy some in a larger size...we'll see. I'm going to try TJ Maxx/etc for cheap short-term replacements. My tops will definitely have to become maternity at some point. I'm tall and already wear an XL in women's athletic tops, so I can't really go up in any more sizes--they stop becoming longer at a certain point--so I'll hit up gap for some work out tanks.
