Maternity cycling clothes

BTW, HoddyToddy, may I assume you went to Ole Miss?

I ended up getting a pair of mens XL cycling shorts on clearance. I'm normally a size 12--so if you are smaller, you may only need a mens Large. They were great for pulling up and over my tummy--sooo comfortable and less expensive than buying specialty shorts.

For jerseys, I wore DH's old worn out ones, snipping the elastic waist in some of them. Otherwise I wore t-shirts or got some cheap workout tops from Target.

Yep! Go Rebels!

I am 18 weeks (4+ months) and so far I can still wear 2 pairs of my normal shorts, however jerseys are becoming a problem. The only one I have that doesn't have bottom elastic is my long sleeve and it's still too warm to wear that. Great idea on wearing DH's jerseys, he's got several that don't have bottom elastic, those should work well. Thanks!

I just have to add that it really irks me that the only maternity jersey available is pink. Why do clothing manufacturers assume that all women like pink? I don't like pink and I absolutley refuse to wear it.

Title 9 does not carry any maternity clothing. I actually wrote them a letter to express my disappointment in this, and their reply was that there just isn't enough of a market. Most maternity "active wear" I've seen consists of yoga pants and hoodies. Great for yoga, not so great for those of us who run, swim, do aerobics, cycle, etc . . . (And while I'm complaining I'll just add, what the heck am I supposed to sleep in? That's great that they make nursing sleep wear, but what about from now until then? Anyone seen any PJ's for pregnant women? Can you tell I've had a frustrating week trying to find maternity clothing? )

I preferred to sleep in the buff during that time I couldn't stand to wear anything with a waist while I was trying to sleep. When I was bumming around the house, I wore light-weight maternity tanks with a shelf bra and pajama pants.

Ahh, the memories. How about a comfy pair of mens boxers with his tshirt or a tank top? I like Limewaves idea too - enjoy it now. Afterwards you'll be leaking all over the place so you'll have to wear something

I've never been able to sleep in the buff. DH hates it that I have to get dressed ahem afterward . . . simply can't sleep. I'm already wearing a sleep bra, the girls have grown so much it's uncomfortable with out it. So I'll be used to that when the leaking starts. Thanks for the tip about the men's boxers and t-shirt. In my case I guess I'm thinking men's flannel pants. I need warmer pj's in the winter.
