Shop Maternity Leggings & Mama Activewear at Myprotein

The Mama collection is built for every stage of the journey — pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. From maternity leggings designed to move with your bump to nursing sports bras that work as hard as you do, every piece in this range is made for real life, not just the gym.

Whether you're keeping up with prenatal yoga, heading out for a walk, or easing back into training after birth, Mama maternity activewear is there for all of it. Soft fabrics, thoughtful construction, and fits that actually account for a changing body — that's what this collection is about.

Who This Collection Is For

Mama is made for anyone who's pregnant, recently given birth, or navigating the postpartum period and still wants to feel good moving in their clothes. If standard activewear isn't cutting it anymore — waistbands sitting wrong, fabrics feeling restrictive — this range was designed with exactly that in mind.

It's also a solid fit for anyone who wants maternity workout clothes that don't feel like a compromise. The pieces here work for low-impact sessions, daily movement, and everything in between, without sacrificing comfort or style at any point.

When to Wear Mama Activewear

Maternity gym wear earns its place across the full spectrum of daily life during pregnancy and postpartum. Prenatal Pilates, swimming, walking, light strength work — these pieces are versatile enough to handle varied activity levels while keeping comfort front and centre.

Beyond workouts, maternity sportswear doubles up as everyday wear. The soft-touch fabrics and relaxed-yet-structured fits make these pieces just as comfortable for errands, rest days, or the school run as they are for movement sessions.

Key Features

Bump-Friendly Waistbands

Over-the-bump and high-waisted designs sit comfortably without digging in or slipping down. The waistbands are wide, soft, and built to accommodate a growing bump at every stage — no constant readjusting needed.

Ultra-Soft, Stretch Fabrics

From bamboo seamless constructions to 4-way stretch materials, the fabrics in this range feel gentle against sensitive skin. They move with the body rather than against it, making them comfortable for hours at a time.

Nursing-Ready Sports Bras

The maternity sports bras in this collection are designed with nursing in mind — easy-access clip fastenings make them practical long after pregnancy, while the soft fabric keeps things comfortable throughout.

Extra Back Panel Construction

Select leggings feature reinforced back panels for added structure in the lower back area. It's a thoughtful design detail that makes a real difference during longer wear or more active days.

FAQs

What are the best maternity leggings for working out?

It comes down to the type of movement you're doing. For higher-impact activity, look for maternity workout leggings with 4-way stretch and a secure over-the-bump waistband — the MP Women's Maternity Over the Bump Cycling Shorts are a strong option here, with soft-touch fabric that reduces irritation and full freedom of movement. For lower-impact sessions or everyday wear, the MP Women's Maternity Leggings offer a soft-touch matte finish with extra back panel structure that's worth the attention.

How do I choose the right size in the Mama collection?

Sizing is based on your pre-pregnancy size as a starting point, but it's always worth checking the individual size guide on each product page — these include specific measurements to help you get the fit right. If you're between sizes, sizing up generally gives more comfort as your bump grows.

Are these pieces suitable for postpartum wear too?

Yes — several pieces in the Mama range are specifically designed for the postpartum period. The MP Women's Maternity Post Natal Leggings, for example, use lightweight bamboo seamless fabric with a high-waisted fit that works comfortably during postpartum recovery. The nursing sports bras are also designed to remain functional well beyond birth.

What is the maternity sportswear made from?

Fabrics vary across the range. You'll find bamboo seamless constructions, soft-touch performance fabrics, and 4-way stretch materials — all chosen for comfort against sensitive skin. Full fabric composition details are listed on each individual product page.

How should I care for my maternity activewear?

For best results, wash on a cool, gentle cycle and avoid tumble drying. This helps preserve the stretch and softness of the fabrics over time. Full care instructions are printed on each garment's label and listed in the product details online.

Can I wear the maternity sports bra all day?

The maternity nursing sports bras in this range are designed with all-day wearability in mind. The soft fabric minimises irritation, and the nursing-friendly clip fastenings make them practical beyond just workout sessions. That said, everyone's comfort levels differ — it's worth trying the fit during different activities before committing to extended wear.

Who designed the Mama collection?

The Mama range was designed by Myprotein's in-house design team, with a focus on the practical needs of pregnant and postpartum bodies — from waistband construction to fabric selection and functional details like nursing access.

Is maternity gym wear different from regular activewear?

In meaningful ways, yes. Maternity workout clothes are specifically cut to accommodate a bump, with waistbands positioned and shaped differently to regular activewear. The fabrics are also chosen with skin sensitivity in mind, and features like extra back panelling and nursing access are built into the design from the start — not afterthoughts.
