Maternity Must Haves for My Half Marathon |

I have been a bit frustrated in past pregnancies trying to find workout friendly maternity clothes that were good quality and that I liked to wear. Let’s be honest, maternity clothes can be kind of a drag… uncomfortable, unflattering, and worn out faster than a Walmart sports bra. If you plan on exercising or training for something while pregnant, here are a few life changing products for you!!!

#1- Ingrid and Isabel Knee Length Maternity Workout Pants

I wear these workout pants all the time and they are seriously the best! They are high quality, wash and wear well, are not see through, no color fade, are sooo comfortable, thick, AND they give my growing belly the support I need to keep that baby girl snug in place. These magic pants will no doubt last me through multiple pregnancies including postpartum recovery. To me, that’s worth it! You can buy these in almost any length and cut. I was tired of squeezing into my workout clothes that became tight and uncomfortable on my abdomen— these are the perfect remedy.

#2- Bao Bei Maternity Support Band

Bao Bei sent me two of their Belly Sport Bras for me to test run. I received the package the day before the half marathon I ran 22 weeks pregnant and was a little skeptical at first because it is basically just that, a sports bra for your belly. I wondered if I would have problems with it riding up or down, comfort-level, and whether it would be tight enough to give me the support I needed… AND I didn’t have time to test it before race day (which is almost always a bad idea to try something new on race day!) Lucky for me, it was a happy ending at the finish line. During my race, my Bao Bei Belly Sports Bra worked like a charm. I didn’t have to adjust it all the time, it was nice and comfortable, and kept baby snug as a bug.

#3 Pro Compression Trainer Low Socks

If you are looking for the perfect short running socks, these have easily become my favorite… and believe me, I have nearly tried them all! Yes, I am a Pro Compression Ambassador, but if I did a blind test of short running socks, these ones would top the charts! And just for the record, I do not endorse products that I haven’t tried and LOVED myself.

The Trainer Lows feel thin and barely there as they form right to your foot with no excess fabric or seams to cause chaffing. I love all of the different colors and hope one day to have them all. When I’m not wearing my Pro Compression Marathon Socks, my Pro Compression Trainer Lows are on point!

You can find your Trainer Lows HERE.
