I got a pair of non-compression yoga-y workout capris at Old Navy and they've actually been really great for spin class the elliptical, etc. I have a hard time with pants falling down when I run and these don't fall when I'm on the treadmill. They are not fancy wicking material, however, so I wouldn't train for a marathon in them.
Other than that, I've found if I just roll down under my belly my existing compression pants and shorts, I'm good to go. I'm pretty large and in charge at this stage and it's still working for me.
I've been working out in Target maternity yoga pants and an old stretched out tank top. Which is probably not helpful since neither are supportive or wicking. Maternity work out clothes are hard to find!
I got the ON maternity compression pants and they're great. The capris were always sold out in my size so I got two pairs of the longer ones and cut one pair off to make them capris. For tops I'm just going a size up in cheapie Target workout t-shirts.
I can do the roll under the belly thing with all my old stuff but I won't wear those to the gym for fear they'll fall down. I'll wear whatever at home to work out though.

I'm still wearing my pre-pregancy wicking/slightly compression capris. My thighs have outgrown my shorts so I'm stuck with capris for the summer. I just put it below my belly and use my belly band thing and my support belt.
I need desperately to get some workout tops though as I've outgrown those.

Does ON carry them in store? I have the maternity compression pants and I love them. I have some old Danskin from Walmart capris and tights that are stretchy enough to keep wearing and cheap enough that I don't care if I stretch them out.
I'm still mostly wearing regular tops. I've always preferred longer tops, so many of them still work.
I'm still wearing my pre-pregnancy running clothes. Some of my capris are too tight around the waist (they fit, but feel uncomfortable), but most of my stuff works fine. I choose my longer shirts and they seem to work so far. I did get one pair of Lucy yoga pants in one size up from my normal size, and that works pretty well.
