I wish Athleta sold maternity clothes

The have a lot of cute stuff out now.

I was desperate for a new pair of workout pants. Mine just weren't comfortable around my stomach anymore. Old Navy has maternity active wear and they are super comfy! I think because I workout 4 days a week, I need 2 pairs!

There are so many places I wish sold maternity clothes. Maternity selections, esp for workout clothes, suck. DH did surprise me by buying me a pair of Lucy yoga pants in one size up, a few weeks ago. They'll still fit post-pregnancy, but allow me just a little more room around the belly right now. LOVE!

No kidding. The only maternity running shorts I could find were at a fancy boutique and they were like $75 (and were actually little skort thingies). Uh, no thanks!

I have a pair of Athleta shorts that actually fit really well during pregnancy, I think because the rise is pretty low. I wore them 2-3 times a week until I stopped running at 35 weeks. I hope I didn't stretch them out too much. I guess even if I ruined them, it was still cheaper/better than buying the stupid maternity ones!

I've just been throwing away the Athleta catalogs that come in the mail. I got some full panel workout pants at ON, and I just saw some at Target from BeMaternity. I really want capris but the ones at ON are out of stock, hopefully they stock back up soon. My normal ones all fit but I'd have to push the waistband below my belly and that isn't comfortable at all, plus they'd fall down.

I have these active capris from ON and they are serving me really well: oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=41780&vid=1&pid=939215002  The panel can be rolled over your belly or rolled down underneath it.  They're not the most amazing quality ever, but they stay up when I run on the treadmill and at spin class, so they are well worth the $15.

Are they the spandex-y material like compression pants or just like cottony yoga pants? I already have yoga pants, I want the tight compression type pants - though they never really compress anything lol.

kermit, they're cotton-y yoga-y pants. I know, I wanted the shiny compression pants, too, because that's what I'm used to, but like I said, these are doing the trick for me.

These Target C9 compression-y crops, which I've had for 4+ years, still work for me right now if I roll the top down and wear a longer top: www.target.com/p/c9-by-champion-women-s-advanced-performance-capri-tight-assorted-colors/-/A-13955509#prodSlot=large_1_5

I have several pairs like those Target ones, but I can't roll anything below the belly or they fall down. I take boxing and kickboxing classes and it's impossible to pull up your pants wearing boxing gloves! I did get another pair of the Target drawstring waist knee length running tights and they're working okay since I can hike them up and tighten the drawstring. I might buy another pair of the ON ones I recently got and cut the bottom part off to make capris.

kermit, I'm exactly the same way -- I need draw strings or crap falls down (although the ON capris stay up when I run, which I was shocked about). My C9 pants are old so the link I posted is not for the exact pants. Mine have a draw string, so they stay up on me.

I really like my Old Navy maternity compression pants. I was a little worried they'd be tight like the regular compression ones, but they have a different less compression-like fabric. Plus they make my butt look good.
