Cathe, where did you get all your cute...

maternity workout shirts? I'm for some cute things to teach my cardio class...I particularly like the red one you had on in the VF 1999 trip. It seems as though no other instructor around here is "daring" enough to wear sleeveless shirts while PG, so I just see them in big baggy T-Shirts. I'm lucky enough to still fit in the JR med size tops at 5 months, but I feel like things are starting to get a bit "bigger" in a few weeks!

Thanks for letting me know!
Myra

I didn't know if you wanted to hear from anyone else...

I've had to go the baggy t-shirt route myself -- Sam's Club has some colorful ones (that wash well) for less than $5.00. I have also had some from Adidas (expensive, they shrunk, very thin material, and too short on me after one washing -- I'm 5'10") and I've worn the regular, colored t-shirts that they sell at Motherhood Maternity... these, too, shrink, but they are cheaper, and I just buy them in a larger size. My boss is 34 wks. pg (I'm 30 wks) -- she is more confident about her pregnant body and wears tighter tops and looks great in them. I think some of her tops were slightly oversized when she wasn't pregnant, and she still wears them. I don't think that she has the same humongous bust problem that I do, though -- with both of my pregnancies I've gone from a 36C to a 38DD or E cup. That's incentive enough for me to stay in baggy shirts LOL

I have found great bottoms this time, though -- I have some Adidas capri length bottoms, some biker type shorts from Motherhood Maternity, and a cute warmup suit (very similar to the more expensive ones you find elsewhere) with bootcut pants again from Motherhood Maternity (and, again, buy a size larger if you want to be able to toss it into the dryer).

Here are some good sites for maternity fitness wear...

Hi Myra! Actually the maternity tops that you are referring to I had made by a company called Dangerboy, who had made our fitness outfits for the Pure Strength series. Since I found out I was pregnant not too far after filming that series I asked them if they would make me some maternity tops to work out in. They enjoyed doing this and have actually made them for others who have called them about this. If interested, here is their link.....http://www.danger-boy.com/

If not, I know that Motherhood Maternity and MiMi Maternity retail stores also carry a small yet cute selection of workout clothes. Take Care!
