The perfect pregnancy and postnatal maternity activewear didn't exist... so we made it. Say goodbye to outdated maternity styles and say hello to sleek maternity activewear for the modern mum.

As a brand founded by two Australian mothers, no one knows more than us how important it is to feel comfortable during and after pregnancy. But it can be difficult to find the right maternity activewear that offer the core support and ultimate comfort that you’re really craving. Our range of maternity activewear is designed to be worn through various stages of pregnancy, from your 1st, 2nd or 3rd trimester, and for postnatal recovery.

Now's the time for comfort and growing tiny humans can be hard work. This is why our maternity activewear range has got you covered with supportive tights, shorts and sports bras that you can wear to exercise in, but you'll also want to wear all day, every day. Each maternity style has been consciously designed to provide the medical support you need whilst also looking stylish and sophisticated.

Maternity Activewear For The First Trimester (1-12 weeks)

As you begin your pregnancy journey, it is important to set yourself up for success with the right maternity activewear to ensure you’re comfortable and supported as you move. Whilst you may not be reaching for your maternity leggings until your baby bump begins to become more prominent, it is worth planning ahead so you’re not left without a supportive pair of pants on-hand!

Our maternity activewear staples throughout the first trimester are a stretchy pair of leggings and a comfortable sports bra. During the first trimester (up to 12 weeks pregnant), you will notice your body will begin to change so prioritising comfort with stretchy clothing is a must! At Active Truth our maternity must-have for this period is a pair of pregnancy tights. The signature high waistband provides the best bump support that alleviates the pressure on sore back, hips and pelvis, while the supportive fit promotes core stability and helps to reduce other aches and pains. Plus, our pregnancy leggings are recommended by health professionals and have been voted #1 Pregnancy Compression Tight by Body + Soul – so you can trust us when we say, you’ll absolutely love the comfort and support they provide!

Importantly, our pregnancy legging styles also feature an 8-way stretch and moisture-wicking fabric, which is designed to grow with your bump and allows these styles to be worn during pregnancy and postpartum. Importantly, if you’re looking to stay active throughout your first trimester, all of our maternity leggings offer 100% opaque coverage (squat proof!), allowing you to bend and move without distraction. Available in full length, ⅞ length, and bike shorts, there is a style to suit both your pregnancy workout and at-home needs. Keep it hands-free with our convenient Pregnancy Pocket styles featuring side pockets that comfortably fit your iPhone, keys, cards, and more. Or if you are team ‘no pockets’ and sleek minimal seams is more your style, we’ve got that too.

Maternity Activewear For The Second Trimester (13-26 weeks)

Once entering your second trimester, your baby bump will become much more prominent and you may experience some slight aches and pains as your beautiful body accommodates your little one growing. Our maternity must-haves for the second trimester include a pair of maternity leggings (if they're not already on high rotation!), as well as a supportive sports bra that can accommodate larger breasts as you progress throughout your pregnancy. Our top pick is an Active Truth sports bra that combines style, support and comfort (plus our zip-up sports bras make it much easier to get dressed in the morning!).

Another maternity activewear staple for extra comfort, particularly in the second trimester and beyond, is a pair of maternity briefs (aka pregnancy underwear). They are the perfect maternity piece to style with pants, jeans, skirts, and dresses shorts when you don’t to rock the maternity activewear look. This means you can still get the support, compression and comfort you want without having to wear your maternity leggings all the time for dressier occasions. At Active Truth, our pregnancy support brief is our go-to for this trimester and beyond!

Maternity Activewear For The Third Trimester (27-40 weeks)

For the third and final trimester it’s time to start thinking about preparing for the birth and postnatal recovery. Don't make the same mistake many new mums make and forget to pack your maternity tights in your hospital bag. A good pair of maternity tights are always recommended by medical professionals for post-partum (including post c-section). This is because the shape retention fabric provides a comfortable fit without added pressure. Get ready for when the baby arrives and ensure you prioritise looking after yourself - explore our range of postnatal recovery products from postnatal tights to postnatal underwear. Feel like you again, sooner.

While you’re preparing for bub’s arrival, our Mama Feeding Crop is the ultimate in breastfeeding with ease thanks to our innovative magnetic clasp design. Our breastfeeding and nursing range from our maternity activewear collection will take the juggle out of breastfeeding and will give your changing breasts support and comfort during feeding.
