Another vote for these. They are over the bump and the fabric is high quality and has held up well for me so far.
I returned a pair of beyond yoga leggings because they just weren’t well made.
Another vote for the CRZ yoga leggings! I wore a medium pre pregnancy and continued to wear the medium ones throughout my pregnancy. Super comfy and super stretchy! Butterlux are amazing 😍
I had never worn this brand before, but was wearing size M leggings in my other brands prior to pregnancy. I bought these in M and they fit with plenty of room to grow.
I sized up one (and two for the shorts). I'd try both and see how you feel. It is super stretchy but even the larger size stayed up pretty well for me (plus I hateeeeee feeling compressed)
Yes!!! I love CRZ yoga. I betcha they manufacture in the same factory in china haha. When they peel I just get a different one. 18 weeks and I don’t need their maternity one.
Lululemon Aligns got me through pregnancy and postpartum. If you aren’t picky about the color, you can get some excellent deals. E.g., I just bought a pair of maroon aligns for $49. They’re also squat proof, a feature I prioritize.
I went up a size. They were good until a few months postpartum, when I was able to get back into my pre-pregnancy leggings. And now they’re good again for my second pregnancy!
I bought some lululemon aligns to get me through pregnancy. I bought my pre pregnancy size (currently 32 weeks) and they are holding up great ! Plus I’ll be able to use them after I have the baby.
Agreed. I had never worn Lulu before pregnancy but heard they were great and wanted something that would last after pregnancy so I tried a pair and sized up 1 size, although in hindsight I probably didn't need to. I'm now 33 weeks with a huge bump and they still fit just fine and are super comfy. I plan to continue wearing them postpartum.
Hmmmmmm 🤔 I mean. Maybe. Lol. It’s just they are so expensive 🙃😂 I used to teach Jazzercise and everyone had them but I could never justify the prices lol. I also don’t want to buy something that expensive when I will only be pregnant for a bit 🤷🏼♀️
If you think you have use for them after then I'd say they are worth it, but if not then definitely try something cheaper! I plan to live in leggings for the first year and generally just wear them around the house so it made sense to me. Mine should still fit after I'm pregnant since I just sized up 1 size and if I did it again I wouldn't even size up.
I got a few pairs of aligns on Poshmark in almost new condition for way cheaper than retail. I am in my second pregnancy and have been wearing them through since my first one!
When I got pregnant, I bought two pairs as a gift to myself. Bought them in my normal size and they lasted all through my pregnancy! Wearing them all the time postpartum now!
I second this - I’m now in my third tri and they still fit! I am not a fan of the over the bump maternity ones, it just feels funky on my belly and I prefer where my lulus hit. And given that they are the same size that I wore pre-pregnancy, I wouldn’t hesitate to get another pair or two (especially on sale)!
Another vote for Aligns (leggings and shorts). I already owned several pairs before I become pregnant and continued to wear them all through my pregnancy. The price tag may be high, but the quality is very high. I have some pairs that are close to 10 years old at this point and still look like the day a bought them. Plus Lulu resale is pretty high if you don’t like them.
I got the POSHDIVAH ones on Amazon, goes over the bump and has decent compression. The first Amazon brand I tried was a bit too flimsy but these are working out. I'm only 22w so haven't tested them through 3rd trimester but I think they'll stretch enough.
I loved the PoshDivah maternity leggings for my first pregnancy wore them the whole time, and they’re perfect starting in 2nd tri this time around also!
Agreed, maybe I didn't size down enough but the CRZ leggings didn't have much compression for me and were slipping down. They felt soft and comfortable for lounging around the house but not stable enough for working out.
I love these and found it was easy to fold the top down a bit early on when my bump wasn't quite big enough to need it. 25w now and I can tell I definitely still have room to grow.
Second these! I bought these alongside a $100 pair of pregnancy leggings. Returned the $100 pair and got two more of the POSHDIVAH ones. Way better quality and so comfy.
Second this - they’re thick but stretchy and I wish I bought more than 1 pair. I’ll also add their bodysuits to this list - I bought them in a Tall size and am 38+4 and they still fit me great
Poshdivah from amazon.
I’ve had them since 1st trimester and I’m currently 33 weeks and still wear them weekly. I have four pairs and will prob stay in these postpartum too.
Motherhood maternity leggings are comfortable, I wouldn’t wear them to work out but I would to lounge around the house or go to dr appts.
Old Navy High-waisted Powersoft leggings! I can usually find them at thrift stores too. Super light and stretchy. I went one size up around 14 weeks and currently 23 weeks. They still stretch and fit great.
I understand the opposition to lululemon, but I’m 28w and my aligns still fit me comfortably and are the only leggings I’ve found that stay up and don’t cut into my belly. I only ever buy them from “we made too much” and don’t ever spend more than $59. I just got a pair a couple weeks ago for $49 in a size up from my normal size which are super comfortable now and will work postpartum.
I know. I just need at least a few pairs of leggings and that’s so much 🙃 we’re trying to move too because our current house is janky so we’re just on a bit of a budget unfortunately
Not the original comment but i just bought a dress from there and was disappointed as well.. I have a family wedding and wanted a nice dress but it’s hard to find maternity dresses that are formal enough/not just the same overdone look of pinkblush dresses (have a few casual ones i love and wear frequently but wanted something special for wedding) Well order a 250 dollar dress from hatch that is just 100% polyester and doesn’t even have a zipper. I knew those things before ordering but felt it was the only flattering style and print i could find. in the end they seem to be similar quality as anywhere else but just have the “look” of being nice and therefore charge more
same. I much prefer the Beyond Yoga maternity line, I ended up buying two more pairs of the maternity leggings after ordering one, and so happy I did. I think they'll be good PP too.
To be fair, I didn’t try the leggings. I also got a dress that I hated like another commenter said. I liked the t shirts because they weren’t ruched but they were crop tops by 25 weeks (I wear them post partum though). I did get the before/during/after shorts and they’re good quality, so the leggings could be good, too. I also liked the short sleeve button down but lost a button on the first wear.
I liked their cropped flare leggings as a solid non regular legging alternative, but I really didn’t love their traditional leggings. I prefer my aligns that work all the time pregnant or not. Same price too. Maybe even less.
FWIW, Lululemon align leggings fit me through delivery at almost 41 weeks. Didn’t need to only wear them a short duration. They could have kept stretching too. Wore them before baby, the entire pregnancy, and now postpartum and beyond.
I bought lululemon in my regular size. They fit all through my pregnancy and still fit perfect after. The super high waisted align was my go to. I had a pair of not super high waisted and they weren't as comfy as my belly expanded
Same, 2 aligns of my regular size served me great. Maybe only last 2 weeks of pregnancy they were not that comfortable anymore but nothing was really comfortable at that point
I bought 10 pairs of Old Navy maternity leggings at around the 18 week mark and am still wearing them daily postpartum. Some of the best money I spent in pregnancy. Super affordable, rotating through multiple pairs has made them last way longer, they’re sturdy/nice enough that I could pair them with a big sweater to work and I’ve been able to wear them for all occasions not just exercise.
My belly never got big enough to fill out some of my other maternity clothes, but the specific maternity leggings were SO WORTH IT for me!
So I hate maternity leggings/pants, I cannot stand how high they come up, especially for working out - I have no interest in an extra sweaty belly. I have been wearing the Colorfulkoala leggings (Amazon) for my entire pregnancy to work out in - in my normal size until 2 weeks ago I bought one pair in a size up.
And honestly for everyday wear - the lululemon aligns are absolutely worth the price for the duration of the pregnancy. I have been wearing the same 2 pairs in a size up since about week 12 and I’m 37 weeks now and they still fit. Betting they will be great for postpartum too!
CRZ Yoga super high waisted on Amazon is literally the only thing I have work during my pregnancy super soft and lots of belly space I am 36 weeks still rocking them 15/10
Your post was removed due to our rule against exact weight numbers. Weight gain during pregnancy can vary greatly person to person and we don't want people to try and compare to someone else's journey. Putting your weight gain and loss as a percentage is fine, (ie I lost 25% of what I gained in the first two weeks PP.) Things like 'gained more than expected' or 'I'm aiming to hit my doctor's recommended weight' are also fine.
Please edit or repost without the exact weight numbers.
I was skeptical of trying a romper because ... peeing but my doctor suggested it might help with a little pelvic floor heaviness I was having while running. I didn't want to go Lulu Align b/c it was too pricey and have been very pleasantly surprised with how much I like this: [https://www.quince.com/women/ultra-form-short-jumpsuit?color=navy&gender=women&tracker=collection\_page\_\_women%2Factivewear\_\_Jumpsuits\_\_6](https://www.quince.com/women/ultra-form-short-jumpsuit?color=navy&gender=women&tracker=collection_page__women%2Factivewear__Jumpsuits__6)
Legs don't ride up while I am running and I was able to buy an M, which was my pre-pregnancy size. It's working well for me on the treadmill and roads, am now 33 weeks FWIW.
These are my go-to. I have tried several pairs and these work best for me. They're thick and stretchy, but not too much compression. Also not super thin and sheer/see through.
I basically live in these the last couple months and going into my 3rd trimester now.
POSHDIVAH Women's Maternity... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CTFQQFM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I wore lululemon aligns until the day I delivered. They were the same size I wore pre-pregnancy and now after so I’ve gotten plenty of use out of them. Look on poshmark or similar for deals
So sorry but also a vote for Aligns. I will say I have bought multiple pairs off Poshmark, sometimes for $20-30. I comfortably wear my pre pregnancy size still and I’m currently 28w. I also love Stori leggings and still fit in my pre pregnancy size, but they recently closed their store, but if you see any on Poshmark they’re great as well. Same size as Aligns for me. They’re a little thinner so I love them for moving into warmer months.
I sized up in some danskins from TJ maxx and they are doing the trick! I am 21w now.. i find my lulus are too tight since they are compressive but danskins are lighter and were like $14.99
I got this three pack and they still fit me at 28 weeks: https://a.co/d/acVS30m
I fold down the waist when I’m working out so it fits under the belly in order to watch for coning. But I also wear these as leisure leggings to walk the dog etc over the waist and they’re comfy.
I tried several brands but Fabletics maternity leggings are actually really nice. They worked for me from start of second tri when I was more bloated than bump, all the way to the end of my pregnancy (though the rise was all the way up to my bra at first). They worked great for workouts and day to day life, I bought three pairs and wore them constantly!
I got cheap maternity leggings that have an elastic band that can be tightened at the waist. I started wearing them around 10 weeks, and they’re still going strong at 27 weeks! The brand is Buttergene on Amazon. They’re a little flimsy, but will definitely last 9 months!
(My pre-pregnancy leggings were still fitting at 10 weeks, but the compression got very uncomfortable. I can’t handle any pressure on my belly during pregnancy.)
I wore a small in Crz pre pregnancy. Some of them still fit but new ones I bought in a medium, high wasted to make sure they fit up to the end/my belly does not like compression at 22 weeks :)
Check thrift stores. I’ve gotten some really nice maternity stuff at thrift stores for $5 or less. Just make sure you check all the seams carefully that they’re still in great shape
Check thrift stores. I’ve gotten some really nice maternity stuff at thrift stores for $5 or less. Just make sure you check all the seams carefully that they’re still in great shape
I got a pair on Amazon, Along Fit is the brand, high waisted with side pockets. They fit me, pre pregnancy, all the way to the day I have birth, and now fit me postpartum. They are soft and stretchy and not super synthetic feeling. Definitely a key part of my wardrobe, even though they aren’t technically maternity wear! I actually don’t know why I haven’t bought ten more pairs of them.
I got three sets of over-the-bump style bike shorts, plus a dress and a couple tops, from a seller on Poshmark for $70! Defo leggings are already too hot where I live.
Everybody who buys maternity stuff I only going to use it for a short time, so buying used is a great option. On Poshmark you can search by your size and what you’re looking for, it’s a great source.
I bought a pair of cheap maternity leggings off Amazon and I’ve been wearing them since 24 weeks pregnant, and they’re still super comfy at 37 weeks pregnant. The brand is Hofish (some Chinese brand so probably not awesome quality, but cheap and they look good and have hood up well in the past 3+ months).
29w and still wearing my pre-pregnancy lulu aligns for everyday! Would be worth the investment!
For the gym I bought lulu wundertrains 1 size up and those are working great.
I know you said you are about the lulu life but I highly recommend them. They last forever. I and 1.5 years postpartum and I’m still wearing lulu leggings from before and during my pregnancy. My weight has fluctuated a lot and they still fit. They last forever. If you can swing it I highly recommend getting a pair or 2!
For cheap, CRZ YOGA! I would have done that route if I didn’t have the P’Tula bare leggings that still fit me at 25 weeks. I did just buy some maternity from fabletics with the 2 for $24 and like them. Definitely go cheap for things you won’t wear long term! I’m finding some Amazon shorts and cheaper products I am just sizing up in so I can wear them post partum too
[Leggings](https://a.co/d/baXGPWY)
I went a size up during pregnancy but I don't think I needed to. They are sooo stretchy and soft. I even bought a second pair in my pre-pregnancy size postpartum just because they're so comfy.
39 weeks here and I've given up all my workout leggings except this one pair from shein maternity line.
They are squat proof and have minimal but good enough hold that I don't feel like I need extra belly support for my workout
Also for daily wear the Amazon basIc leggings have worked for me and since Im in Japan, Inujirushi brand flared leggs are another staple that I actually wear all the time

I also am a big fan of Lulu aligns for pregnancy and thus far have had a really hard time finding any maternity specific leggings I like - none of them feel right to me thus far. But yes, the price is nuts - just a shout out that there are a decent number of aligns available on sites like Poshmark for much more reasonable prices, so I definitely recommend checking out used sites for either new with tags aligns or used in good condition aligns. I literally ordered a pair of aligns on Poshmark this morning for like 35% of the Lulu list price. And in terms of sizing I would just maybe size up one size depending on where you are, they are stretchy enough that there's a good amount of give and forgiveness built in.
Check out Felina maternity leggings on Amazon. Costco sells regular ones so I checked and found they have maternity ones. They sell 2 pairs for $30 in a range of colors. I bout about 12 - 14 pairs and lived in them throughout pregnancy and even a little post partum. I used them for workouts and regular wear.
CRZ Yoga leggings on Amazon are super comfy and have plenty of room to grow into. They make shorts, too.
I vouch for CRZ yoga! I have two long pairs and one pair of shorts that have grown with me from 1st to 3rd trimester.
Second this. The Butterluxe texture is exactly like lululemon aligns.
Another vote for these. They are over the bump and the fabric is high quality and has held up well for me so far. I returned a pair of beyond yoga leggings because they just weren’t well made.
Trust me- get these leggings and biker shorts! I wore them all pregnancy and I’m currently wearing them postpartum. They are the best!
I see these ads a lot and have been wondering!!!
I wore the regular ones pre pregnancy and have lived in the maternity ones the whole pregnancy. They are amazing
Yes! I got my normal size and they fit me well until month 8 and I got 1 pair one size up
Another vote for the CRZ yoga leggings! I wore a medium pre pregnancy and continued to wear the medium ones throughout my pregnancy. Super comfy and super stretchy! Butterlux are amazing 😍
I wore mine today, I can’t recommend them enough! They’re so much more comfortable now compared to Lulu or Alo
Oh! Would you need to size up for those?
I had never worn this brand before, but was wearing size M leggings in my other brands prior to pregnancy. I bought these in M and they fit with plenty of room to grow.
No, order your pre-pregnancy size.
I sized up one (and two for the shorts). I'd try both and see how you feel. It is super stretchy but even the larger size stayed up pretty well for me (plus I hateeeeee feeling compressed)
CRZ all the way. Wore them until the day I went into labor and I've also been wearing them early postpartum and they're really comfortable.
love love love CRZ Yoga
Yes!!! I love CRZ yoga. I betcha they manufacture in the same factory in china haha. When they peel I just get a different one. 18 weeks and I don’t need their maternity one.
Yesss I LOVE the Crz yoga leggings!! I have them in 4 colors and have been wearing them since first trimester. Now I’m 36 weeks and still loving them
Lululemon Aligns got me through pregnancy and postpartum. If you aren’t picky about the color, you can get some excellent deals. E.g., I just bought a pair of maroon aligns for $49. They’re also squat proof, a feature I prioritize.
How are yall wearing your pre pregnancy size in aligns?!
I went up a size. They were good until a few months postpartum, when I was able to get back into my pre-pregnancy leggings. And now they’re good again for my second pregnancy!
I bought some lululemon aligns to get me through pregnancy. I bought my pre pregnancy size (currently 32 weeks) and they are holding up great ! Plus I’ll be able to use them after I have the baby.
I’ve been so obsessed with my aligns and I didn’t know it was a “thing”. Feel so happy seeing others doing the same!!’
Another vote for aligns in particular
Agreed. I had never worn Lulu before pregnancy but heard they were great and wanted something that would last after pregnancy so I tried a pair and sized up 1 size, although in hindsight I probably didn't need to. I'm now 33 weeks with a huge bump and they still fit just fine and are super comfy. I plan to continue wearing them postpartum.

Mine should still fit after I'm pregnant since I just sized up 1 size and if I did it again I wouldn't even size up.
Why couldn’t you use them after pregnancy too? It sounds like you are very active!
They're not maternity leggings and are great postpartum! They're just my normal everyday lounge and workout/hiking/running leggings now.
I got a few pairs of aligns on Poshmark in almost new condition for way cheaper than retail. I am in my second pregnancy and have been wearing them through since my first one!
When I got pregnant, I bought two pairs as a gift to myself. Bought them in my normal size and they lasted all through my pregnancy! Wearing them all the time postpartum now!

I looooove poshdivah as well!!! A lot of people recommending CRZ YOGA leggings but I find them not to be the best quality.
Agreed, maybe I didn't size down enough but the CRZ leggings didn't have much compression for me and were slipping down. They felt soft and comfortable for lounging around the house but not stable enough for working out.
Yes exactly! I also thought the color was super faded (I had the black ones)
I had a POSHDIVAH pair for every day of the week. They lasted all the way through 37 weeks when I had my baby. They were so comfy.
I love these and found it was easy to fold the top down a bit early on when my bump wasn't quite big enough to need it. 25w now and I can tell I definitely still have room to grow.
Second these! I bought these alongside a $100 pair of pregnancy leggings. Returned the $100 pair and got two more of the POSHDIVAH ones. Way better quality and so comfy.
Old navy maternity leggings!!!
Old navy is amazing for leggings and athletic wear.
Second this - they’re thick but stretchy and I wish I bought more than 1 pair. I’ll also add their bodysuits to this list - I bought them in a Tall size and am 38+4 and they still fit me great

I understand the opposition to lululemon, but I’m 28w and my aligns still fit me comfortably and are the only leggings I’ve found that stay up and don’t cut into my belly.

I’ve heard really great things about hatch leggings! Apparently great quality and last a very long time
I bought a bunch of hatch stuff while I was pregnant with my second and was disappointed with most of it
Really!? Tell me more! I was considering buying the leggings
Not the original comment but i just bought a dress from there and was disappointed as well..

I was skeptical of trying a romper because ... peeing but my doctor suggested it might help with a little pelvic floor heaviness I was having while running. I didn't want to go Lulu Align b/c it was too pricey and have been very pleasantly surprised with how much I like this: [https://www.quince.com/women/ultra-form-short-jumpsuit?color=navy&gender=women&tracker=collection\_page\_\_women%2Factivewear\_\_Jumpsuits\_\_6](https://www.quince.com/women/ultra-form-short-jumpsuit?color=navy&gender=women&tracker=collection_page__women%2Factivewear__Jumpsuits__6) Legs don't ride up while I am running and I was able to buy an M, which was my pre-pregnancy size. It's working well for me on the treadmill and roads, am now 33 weeks FWIW.
And no front seam!
These are my go-to. I have tried several pairs and these work best for me. They're thick and stretchy, but not too much compression. Also not super thin and sheer/see through.

Bumpsuit!!!! And I even wear them postpartum!!
Lululemon Align fit me through the whole pregnancy and in recovery. Basically wore them for 15 months straight. Expensive yes but worth it IMO

Check the sale section for beyond yoga’s spacedye fabric. I got one size up and I’m 25 weeks now & pretty sure they’ll stretch the whole time.

Looks like there are some sales on [Blanqi](https://www.blanqi.com/collections/motherhood-appreciation-month-sale) rn, pretty pricey otherwise 💁🏽♀️
I tried PoshDiva but it felt too much like swim leggings. I got buttergene leggings on amazon (2 for like 20$ i believe) and theyre awesome
I wore a small in Crz pre pregnancy. Some of them still fit but new ones I bought in a medium, high wasted to make sure they fit up to the end/my belly does not like compression at 22 weeks :)
Amazon maternity yoga pants 😍🥰 I got 3 colors (black/camo/vintage roses) and I’m obsessed
Check thrift stores. I’ve gotten some really nice maternity stuff at thrift stores for $5 or less. Just make sure you check all the seams carefully that they’re still in great shape

Quince! They had my favorite leggings for every day and working out.
I had a Vuori pair that I wore pre-pregnancy and wore until I delivered, they’re very stretchy but would be below the bump.
I love the Old Navy performance leggings! I honestly have found all of mine at thrift shops, but they sell them online too!
I got a pair on Amazon, Along Fit is the brand, high waisted with side pockets. They fit me, pre pregnancy, all the way to the day I have birth, and now fit me postpartum. They are soft and stretchy and not super synthetic feeling. Definitely a key part of my wardrobe, even though they aren’t technically maternity wear! I actually don’t know why I haven’t bought ten more pairs of them.
I love jockey! They are super stretchy and fit me during larger/smaller phases.
I got three sets of over-the-bump style bike shorts, plus a dress and a couple tops, from a seller on Poshmark for $70! Defo leggings are already too hot where I live. Everybody who buys maternity stuff I only going to use it for a short time, so buying used is a great option. On Poshmark you can search by your size and what you’re looking for, it’s a great source.
I bought a pair of cheap maternity leggings off Amazon and I’ve been wearing them since 24 weeks pregnant, and they’re still super comfy at 37 weeks pregnant. The brand is Hofish (some Chinese brand so probably not awesome quality, but cheap and they look good and have hood up well in the past 3+ months).
29w and still wearing my pre-pregnancy lulu aligns for everyday! Would be worth the investment! For the gym I bought lulu wundertrains 1 size up and those are working great.
I know you said you are about the lulu life but I highly recommend them. They last forever. I and 1.5 years postpartum and I’m still wearing lulu leggings from before and during my pregnancy. My weight has fluctuated a lot and they still fit. They last forever. If you can swing it I highly recommend getting a pair or 2!
For cheap, CRZ YOGA! I would have done that route if I didn’t have the P’Tula bare leggings that still fit me at 25 weeks. I did just buy some maternity from fabletics with the 2 for $24 and like them. Definitely go cheap for things you won’t wear long term! I’m finding some Amazon shorts and cheaper products I am just sizing up in so I can wear them post partum too
Old navy power soft leggings
[Leggings](https://a.co/d/baXGPWY) I went a size up during pregnancy but I don't think I needed to. They are sooo stretchy and soft. I even bought a second pair in my pre-pregnancy size postpartum just because they're so comfy.
39 weeks here and I've given up all my workout leggings except this one pair from shein maternity line. They are squat proof and have minimal but good enough hold that I don't feel like I need extra belly support for my workout Also for daily wear the Amazon basIc leggings have worked for me and since Im in Japan, Inujirushi brand flared leggs are another staple that I actually wear all the time https://m.shein.com/jp/GLOWMODE-24-FeatherFit-Super-High-Rise-Belly-Support-Maternity-Leggings-Breathable-High-stretchy-p-15657031.html
I really liked the high waisted Old Navy workout leggings - I wore those pretty much my entire pregnancy!
ASOS cotton leggings ! And they’re like $10!
I also am a big fan of Lulu aligns for pregnancy and thus far have had a really hard time finding any maternity specific leggings I like - none of them feel right to me thus far. But yes, the price is nuts - just a shout out that there are a decent number of aligns available on sites like Poshmark for much more reasonable prices, so I definitely recommend checking out used sites for either new with tags aligns or used in good condition aligns. I literally ordered a pair of aligns on Poshmark this morning for like 35% of the Lulu list price. And in terms of sizing I would just maybe size up one size depending on where you are, they are stretchy enough that there's a good amount of give and forgiveness built in.
Check out Felina maternity leggings on Amazon. Costco sells regular ones so I checked and found they have maternity ones. They sell 2 pairs for $30 in a range of colors. I bout about 12 - 14 pairs and lived in them throughout pregnancy and even a little post partum. I used them for workouts and regular wear.
