Thanks for the tip about Target. I have been having trouble finding workout pants because I am petite.

Hello,

I bought two tops from Lululemon one size up. They are supposedly very stretchy, and you should be able to wear them throughout pregnancy and afterwards, which is why I was willing to pay the price. Got demonstrated to me by a salesgirl who was 7 months pregnant. I'm 20W today and they still fit well.

Target has a good array of prenatal fitness clothing, as do several websites. You don't need to spend a lot, but should look for clothes that will wick (as you stated) and help keep you cool.
I'm sure there will be some other good suggestions from Babyfit members too!

I'm 5 1/2 months along and training for a 10 mile race. I've been wearing just basic cotton maternity capris/ shorts and big t-shirts with an exercise bra when I workout, but I walked a 10k road race this last weekend and realized that I need to get some maternity wicking running clothes to deal with with heat and humidity. Looking for suggestions as to brands/styles that work well. Thinking a running skirt and tank with built in bra, but everything I have found is pricy and I don't want to spend that much to find out it doesn't work well. Also I should mention that i need good support on top since I'm a 38DD at this point. Thanks for any input!
