Finding fitness clothes (and other clothes, for that matter)

[redhead1]

I'm sorry; I imagine this has been discussed before -- but what did you guys do for workout clothes when you were pregnant? Do maternity stores sell fitness clothes, and/or do I need to order them ... or do you just buy regular clothes in bigger sizes?
And does anyone have any other general tips about buying/wearing maternity clothes?

I am just starting my 13th week and was shocked and amused to glance toward the mirror while I was getting undressed last night and see a round and bulging belly! How did this happen?? I'd better start shopping!

I got most of my maternity workout clothes from them and they have excellent customer service. They carry a bunch of different brands that you could also try to find separately -- Mothers in Motion and In Sport are two makes that immediately come to mind.

Of course, you can also try bigger sizes of regular clothes (I did this too), but let's face it, there's only so much regular lycra/supplex can handle!

And if you're doing anything with impact, you've probably already realized that you need a really good bra (it only gets more important as the pregnancy progresses). The Nike Inner Actives lines has some great, really supportive bras that I used, or you might check out the Title 9 catalogue -- their selection of bras for larger breasted women would probably work.

BTW, I don't work for any of these companies, in case you were wondering!
