For those of you who are trying to exercise through your pregnancy: have you found any maternity workout clothes? Or do you just buy a bigger-than-usual size of regular workout ones? Mine are way too tight around my tummy and it's hard to motivate myself to exercise if I have to wear regular maternity clothes!

    I found some maternity workout shorts that really didn't look any different than regular shorts, but they were much more generous around the tummy without having huge legs. I also got some sweatpants much larger than what I normally wear.

    Edit to add - I got the shorts at Motherhood Maternity.

    I just wear my normal workout pants below my belly and wear a shirt that's oversized so it's long enough to cover my belly!

    I bought some men's long T Shirts and some full panel workout pants. I didn't really need them until I got halfway through my second trimster though. They are more comfortable and they don't constrict as much on my bladder, which is a plus.

    I'm with fitmama on the pants. But I can't stand anything baggy on top when I workout so I've been wearing a workout tank that's 3 sizes too big, the only problem is that it tries to work its way up my belly when I move so I tuck it in the top of my workout pants/capris lol not so cute but it works and its not baggy!

    I bought two maternity tankinis to swim in (@ Motherhood Maternity). I also bought maternity tank tops and a couple of pairs of maternity yoga pants. I wanted everything to be relatively form-fitting, so that when I'm doing yoga (and go into some pose, like downward dog), my shirt stays put and the belly is covered. I also bought some regular yoga pants (at H&M) one size larger than my normal and those are working great.

    Ironic - I'd just been looking at these on zulily:

    They aren't cheap - but they are adorable!! Since I just work out at home, not really a necessity. But if I went to classes at the gym... this would be on my Christmas wishlist.

    Totally adorable! However, $30-some-odd bucks is generally not what I like to spend on something I'm going to make smelly :)

    Agreed, sadly.

    I have been wearing my old workout clothes, but at 20+ weeks, they are getting snug! I also like maternity leggings. The full panel leggings are great for jogging and zumba! I have been wearing those with a long tank, but I will probably pick up some maternity t- shirts soon!
