Get the Look: Halle Berry's maternity sportswear

Halle Berry showed that baby bumps look just as good in maternity fitness gear as they do in red carpet dresses this weekend.

The pregnant actress was spotted showing off her growing bump in cropped black lycra trousers with a grey fitted tank top and baseball cap in LA over the weekend, hinting that she'll be continuing to keep fit during her pregnancy.

Halle has set a great example amongst mums-to-be showing that pregnancy shouldn't mean the end of your fitness activities - speak to a fitness expert or doctor to find out how to tailor your regime to suit your bump.

Take inspiration from Halle and invest in specialist maternity wear, which will  help support your growing bump and expanding cleavage.

We've picked out a few in the gallery below and we'll see you on the cross trainer.

Top five mum-to-be jewellery pieces

Finding out you're pregnant is an exciting time and if you're like us you'll want to shout it from the rooftops.

And once you've had that first crucial scan you can tell as many people as you like.

However, some ways are a lot more stylish and cooler than running over to the nearest person, jumping up and down and telling them your news - not that we know anyone that would do that, ahem- and that's with a fashionable piece of jewellery.

Over the past few years companies have woken up and realised that mums-to-be want to show off their expectant status as well as have a keepsake to remember their nine months by.

Today's  Friday fantasy fashion item flies in from luxury maternity brand Madderson London.

Set up by Sara who missed the range and glamour of her pre-pregnancy clothes when she was expecting, the maternity range focuses on gorge dresses and tops for smarter occasions such as parties and office meetings.

Budget maternity fashion tips: Accessorise with a scarf

Jonathan Suanders S/S 2013

Scarves have been wrapping their way around the fashion world for a good few years now providing a great way to update a tired or bland outfit.

This season they made their way to the top of the 2013 must-have accessories list with Marc Jacobs, Jonathan Saunders and Louis Vuitton just some of the designers to show off this trend on the catwalks.

And these reasonably priced gems are perfect for that maternity wardrobe on a budget.

Updating a simple top with an on-trend patterned or bold coloured scarf will give it a new lease of life, meaning you don't need to splash out on hundreds of maternity tops. And the same applies to that trusty black or block colour dress.

We also love the fact that you can continue to wear these after the birth, as well as consider them as a subtle breastfeeding aid.

Buy one or two scarves and mix and match for an instant style update. 

Below are just a few of our faves.

Cream rose print lightweight scarf, £15, River Island

Asos Butterfly Image scarf, £12

China blue scarf, £12, Oasis

Shimmer scarf, £12, Jane Norman

Animal Border Print Scarf, £20, Warehouse
