Hi ladies. I'm due to start my yoga classes with daisy birthing in a couple of weeks time. My regular work out gear is too short now. Just wondered if you've come across anything you'd recommend please?

I just ended up mostly buying normal stuff from H&M but in bigger sizes. I'm 34 weeks now and it's still fine with some space to stretch.
I did splash out on one pair of lululemon 'wunder under' leggings which I love and should be able to wear post baby too. You can wear them high waisted to begin then when the bump gets too big, fold them down.

There's a great t shirt GAP does....maternity, soft cotton and with sleeves x

Just normal longer lenght tops did it for me - maternity sportswear tends to be hideously overpriced. this one?

and this might also be good

And wore my normal leggings under the bump.

The Gap 'breathe' t shirt in their non-maternity range has been my favourite workout top. I got a XXL and it's seen me through to the end. Soft, long, breathable and a nice boyfriend cut.

I have just been wearing my normal stuff, most of it is stretchy. Some of my bigger tops have probably had more use but overall most of it has been fine. I am 34 weeks now and still wearing it (although working out is a zillion times harder now!!) possibly get a bigger sports bra if your boobs get massive Grin

Gap does maternity yoga trousers which were great.

what other posters have said - I just bought ordinary clothes in slightly bigger size and managed with this until i stopped gym at 38 weeks. Primark's tops were pretty long and covered the bump no bother. i wore my normal gym leggings under my bump it is was fine. My sports bras were getting tighter but I still forced the ladies into them!

Enjoy your yoga!
