If we've ever heard a perfect case for investing in maternity activewear, it's this recent piece - Best Maternity Workout Clothes, According To Women Who Work Out - from The Bump. They write, 'It’s common to not want to spend extra cash on maternity workout clothes you’ll wear for only a few months. Sure, in the first trimester, you can get away with rolling waistbands under your belly and stretching out tees. But eventually, usually around week 20, such measures become wildly uncomfortable. Plus, to the surprise of many new moms, it’s not just a few months of wear.' With their case made, they rounded up their favorite products including our Sporty Mesh Nursing Bra.

The Belabumbum Sporty Mesh Nursing Bra provides support and coverage as your chest grows during pregnancy and easy access for nursing—and it’s super-cute

It’s often one of the first changes to cause discomfort, resulting in that familiar red ring that surfaces below the breasts when you’re wearing a bra that’s too small.' The key to compensating for this is having an adjustable bra, like our Sporty Mesh Nursing Bra, that compensates for this growth. A testimonial from an everyday new mom, who took spin class twice a week throughout her entire pregnancy, sums up the point beautifully.

'In hindsight, had I known I’d wear maternity workout clothes after delivery, I’d have spent more. I’m still wearing maternity leggings at three months out!'

Cheers to comfortable and functional workout gear before and after baby!
