@Mrs. Pen: There's a small handful of items in person at Target. Maybe a bigger selection online there?

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.

I got some non maternity tanks with ruching on the sides in one size up at kohls. I think they're meant to adjust up/down in length, but work for adjusting out for a bump, too! brand is Tek Gear

I size up. At 24 weeks, I can still fit my running capris quite well because of the wide waistband.

@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

@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 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! http://www.oldnavy.com/products/maternity-workout-wear.jsp

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 & 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.

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.

Well this is exciting!

But working out and maternity don't mix for me.

@Mrs. Pen: I haven't had any issues with them falling down, but I'm only halfway through. I can let you know as time goes on!

@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).

@Mrs. Pickle: I do the same thing (sports bra and no top)!

@Mrs. Pen: Aww excited for you!
