Does anyone have any recs? Has anyone tried Old Navy maternity compression pants? I wore a XL before pregnancy, so I'm sized out of certain brands and can't go up a size or two in other brands.
I'm wearing my pre pregnancy shorts (under my belly) and then men's C9 (Target) sleeveless tops. These worked better for me than t-shirts because my belly is growing exponentially, but I don't have a men's XL size neck/ arms so it was the best fit I could find. Men's clothing is also longer so I can wear my shorts under my belly with flashing people. I found them on clearance in the Fall. There is a very small selection of maternity workout gear and it is both expensive and geared toward yoga/ very low impact activities. I purchased a few sports bras the next size up around 20 weeks. I needed to go up a band size and 2 cup sizes. While I usually buy expensive sports bras, I purchased these cheep from Target too. I got the high impact bra.
ETA: I tried Gap GFit maternity capri's and was horrified to discover that they were low rise rather than full panel. They sat so low you could basically see how the baby was made. As I get bigger I'm looking for the support a full panel provides to prevent round ligament pain.
