While the stereotype is that pregnant women sit on the lounge stuffing their faces for nine months, that isn’t always the case. Sure, you might indulge your cravings a little more often when you’re ‘eating for two,’ but a growing number of women are keeping up a (modified version of) their fitness regime.
And if you ask us, these fit-tastic expecting mums deserve to look cute when they work out. AKA. not forced to resort to baggy sweatshirts and their old pair of leggings that they’ve stretched out! Luckily, a growing number of activewear brands now offer maternity ranges that are stylish, comfy and super supportive:
Lorna Jane
One of Australia’s biggest activewear exports, Lorna Jane, recently branched out with a maternity collection. Their range for expecting mums ticks all the right boxes — stylish, supportive and uber comfy.

Performance activewear brand 2XU probably isn’t the first thing you think of when you think ‘pregnancy’. But by all reports, their maternity compression tights are the BOMB for expecting mums — as they hold it all in while giving you plenty of stretch. Plus, the compression material can help relieve muscular soreness.
