You don’t want to give up your workout when pregnant, but you will, sooner or later, have to give up your regular workout wear. As your body grows so does your need for some workout wear that will keep you comfortable and make room for that growing bump. Maternity wear has come a long way since you were just a bun in the oven, and there are super trendy, flattering styles that are right for any expecting mama no matter what your taste.
The first thing you want to think about is comfort. Seriously, pregnancy can be one of the most uncomfortable things a woman ever experiences, and finding clothes that move with you and keep you comfortable during exercise is vital. Find yoga or performance clothing made from stretchy fabric that breathes and wicks away moisture so you stay cool. Our bodies tend to be warmer anyway during pregnancy and keeping cool is extremely important.
When looking for clothes to fit the changes in your body, look for high-waisted yoga or sweatpants that fit comfortably over your bulging belly while still leaving you room to grow. You may also want to find comfortable pants that can be rolled down under your belly. Wellicious makes a great line that comes with a lot of variety in shape and style. Try loose fitting tops that will give you the room to move you need to as you accompany an entirely new shape. Fit2BMom have super cute tanks for the hotter months of summer that fit your bump and move with you. So flattering they are that you’ll want to wear them long after your pregnancy is over.
Just because you’re pregnant doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the amazing performance wear on the market today. Workout clothes for expecting moms are anything but drab and you’ll feel great as you take care of both you and your baby in clothes that are both functional and fashionable.
