Maternity Workout Clothes
Your life doesn’t stop when you’re expecting, and neither should your exercise routine. In fact, pregnancy is the perfect time to get out there and get moving. Maintaining some level of physical activity doesn’t just help nurture your physical health — it can also help reduce risks of gestational diabetes and preeclampsia, as well as preserve your mental wellbeing.

If you’re gonna move your body, you need the right clothes to do it — clothes that make you feel good in your own (changing) skin, that are comfortable, and that enhance self-confidence. Lucky for you (and us all), the athleisure trend is still going strong, and there are tons of amazing options out there that are sure to make you feel strong, confident and sexy AF!
Here are our picks!

tee shirt +
jacket/hoodie +
comfy sneaks +
sunglasses =
a pulled together (and comfy) mama
Maternity Yoga Pants and Leggings
Ingrid & Isabel Crossover Panel Active Maternity Leggings at Target ~ $34

These lightweight drawstring joggers are made from eco-friendly fabric and they feel like silk. So comfy.
NufaBrx The Bump Leggings w/Shea Butter ~ $90
These very supportive over-the-belly leggings have shea butter built into the fabric that helps keep your skin moisturized for up to 25 washes. A luxe pick that will make your skin happy :).
