The Best Pregnancy Gym Clothes For Any Workout, At Any Stage

Somewhere in your second trimester, it’ll feel like exercise just trying to squeeze your lycra leggings and race-back tops over your bump. But if you’re still keen to go running, swimming, walking or cycling, it might be time to swap your regular kit for some pregnancy gym clothes.

Seraphine, a maternity label that counts Kate Middleton in its fan club, has an activewear range that includes a pair of over-bump leggings made from bamboo. They’ve got a five-star rating, with comments praising the fact that they don’t ‘ride down at the crotch’ or ‘wrinkle at the knees’, and one woman even said that they were the only pair that didn’t irritate her scar after her C-section. Mamalicious’s active maternity tights have supportive ribbing below the bump and are designed to fit throughout pregnancy.

Isabella Oliver’s maternity active vest, made from technical jersey with gathered ruching to accommodate a growing bump, is great for wearing during and after pregnancy. Reebok’s restorative tank, meanwhile, proves that pregnancy clothes don’t have to be shapeless and baggy.

After you’ve given birth, you might want to get a sports bra that allows easy access for breastfeeding. Leo & I’s, in pleasing purple and olive, has an internal support bra with side slits, while Lorna Jane’s moisture-wicking sports bra has a feeding clip that can be hooked and unhooked as needed.
