Hello

Am just about to hit 29 weeks, and my gym wear is now a bit too snug! I'm looking for affordable gym wear - I go to the gym several times a week if I can be arsed, but I'm not worried about brands/logos - just something that fits over my bump!

I've tried all the major sports shops, with no luck. Everything online looks expensive? Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks!

I didn't keep going to the gym, but managed to wear leggings one size up until about 38 weeks, can't you just wear yoga pants under your bump?

It's more the tops....they just don't stretch over my bump. Tried going a few sizes bigger, but it's very uncomfy! Same with oversized t-shirts, not great at keeping me cool.

someone recommended this site, haven't tried myself:
www.maternityfitwear.com

but if your leggings are still fine, I would probably just buy a few regular pregnancy (fitted and long) t-shirts or tank tops - not as comfortable as specialist sports wear, but will do the job as it's only for a few months.

Why not just wear a maternity vest then?

MrsHoarder · 05/01/2013 17:59

Obviously not on its own!!! With some type of bottoms Xmas Grin
