Are maternity leggings worth it?

In short - definitely. Listen, a pair of ribbed leggings might be your perfect solution for autumn and winter outfit building. But, if you know you're going to get your use out of a pair of maternity gym leggings - and even being pregnant you can't keep you away from the gym or yoga class - then invest in a pair asap.

Because of the design, they allow you and your growing bump loads of room, while fitting your legs without being horribly baggy. Postnatal gym leggings are also a fantastic idea so you're getting use out of them throughout your pregnancy, as well as afterwards. They're a win all round.
