11 Maternity Leggings That Grow With You & Your Bump

These Zella Mamasana leggings are made of a pleasantly thick material that doesn't threaten to be see-through and looks nice enough to be worn when you go out, paired with a nice top and a pair of boots. But don't worry: they're also comfortable enough to be worn when lounging in the house.

I personally wore these throughout my second and third trimesters and loved the feeling of the wide, slightly tight belly panel that gave me excellent added support. That same panel felt great postpartum, when I felt like I needed a little extra something around my stomach. If you're looking for leggings that are extra stretchy and loose, this might not be the pair, but they are terrific to have on hand when you feel like you need the support.

To be clear, Lululemon's Align II leggings are not maternity leggings — although they may as well be, because they are truly fantastic and, I think, worth the price point. These are super stretchy but not see-through, they're made of a soft material that holds up even after a lot of wear and tear, and they feel light on your body.

I personally wore these Align leggings from the moment I got a positive pregnancy test through most of my third trimester, when I started to feel like they weren't high waist enough for me (although it's worth pointing out many pregnant women wear them up until their due date). After having the baby, I thought they may have stretched out, but nope: I got right back into them and they fit like a glove.
