Maternity cycling clothes

[likinbikin]

Hello,

I am currently 3 months pregnant. This is my first pregnancy as a cycling addict and I was wondering of anyone knew of a place where I could get cycling clothes for pregnant riders? My clothes are getting too uncomfortable to wear so I am not even riding due to the discomfort. I have tried wearing my DH's larger clothes but they still dig into my stomach.

If there are any other ladies who continued riding during their pregnancy I could use some advice!

Thank you, Michelle

Congrats on you upcoming bundle of joy!

I did a yahoo search and found the following site. Since I've never been pregnant, and never plan to be- I don't know if they are comfortable or practical, but it's a place to start. Hopefully someone with some knowledge will be able to help you out more.

When my friend was pregnant she wore her husbands bike jerseys when hers got too tight.

Congratulations! I believe Terry makes a short designed for pregnancy.

Yay! Congrats on the news!
When is your due date? I ask b/c I am also 3 months along. 15 weeks, 4 days to be exact.
I am still riding as well, and have seen maternity shorts on the TE site. You may also look at Title 9. I don't know if they have cycling clothes, but I do know they have good maternity/nursing sports bras.
I've heard mostly about people getting larger men's shorts/clothes. Not just hubby's but buying L and XLs
How long do you plan to ride? What kind of riding do you do? I'm struggling with how long I should continue riding. I know that is something I need to ask my doc, though.
There's a ride coming up at the end of this month I want to do, but fear I may be too big. This is my second child, though, so I am a little poochier this time around.

Thanks for all of the great advice, I knew this was the place to get the help!

Congrats to HoddyToddy and HappyAnika, nice to have preggy buddies who love riding!

I am 13 weeks along, pretty close to you HoddyToddy! This is my 6th little one so my tummy assumes the pregnant position very quickly, it seems that once my eyes see the positive on the stick my body turns pregnant the next day!

Now that I have plenty of ideas for clothing, I plan to ride as long as the weather lets me. Winter weather will get in my way once I get to the later stages so I won't have to worry too much about the desire to ride then.

Although I am a size medium in womens cycling clothes, my DH's XL shorts still bother my tummy, I hate any pressure especially when I am battling morning sickness. The idea about cutting the elastic on the mens jerseys is a good one since it is the elastic that I don't like. I am going to check out the maternity shorts, they sound great.

I have to agree about the pink jersey thing! I am already a bit shy about the big belly in spandex, bringing it out in pink would make me feel like a big lump of cotton candy on a bike!

Thanks again for all the support, you gals are great!
