Maternity jeans?

[swiftlyirun]

I loathe shopping for maternity clothes, but it needs to happen soon. All of my jeans are outdated and I never liked any of them. This time I really just want one pair that I love.

I’ve tried:

Old Navy
Motherhood
Blue indigo? (Some Macy’s brand?)
Loft (cuts my abdomen weird)
Gap- only have the lower band ones seem OK

Do you have a brand that you love?!

I asked this in my birth month board last night, the consensus was they all suck and I'm beginning to agree with that lol. H&m fit me ok but they are too long. most of my pants from the first go around are too big so I'm following this thread.

I’m guessing that’s true. I might try H&M then because they are all usually too short on me since I usually wear a long

Has anyone tried the Old Navy maternity rock star jeans? I like their normal rockstar jeans but idk how the maternity ones compare.

I have two pairs, one from Target and one from Motherhood...they’re both full panel. I prefer the Target ones, I feel like the Motherhood ones are always falling down.

These are my current favorites. I have the black which is not jeans material, and the blue. I like how it’s under the belly but comes up high on the sides and in the back.

I second Target. I am only 5’1”, and they fit me well.

H&M have been great for me, and I have pretty short legs!

I feel like they all (all maternity pants, not just jeans) fall down on me and I’m constantly jacking them up. I’m 5’8” and regular length is fine on me. Most of my maternity clothes are from motherhood, Kohl’s And old navy.

Séraphine was my favourite place for stuff, including jeans.

I used these until about 30 weeks. They got too tight and it was too hot out (I live in phoenix).

My favorite pair were Pea in the Pod (that I scored at Salvation Army) but I also had a pair from kohl’s that I liked

I wore Sevens and Paige Verdugos, both from Nordstrom Rack, during 1st/2nd tri.  I especially loved the Paige ones.  I outgrew the side panels and wore full panel Old Navy during 3rd tri, but the Paige jeans were the one pair of maternity pants that was really useful and I felt pretty comfortable in again postpartum.  

At 4 months pp I should really retire the maternity jeans and just get bigger size normal jeans, so if anyone is interested in them, both are very gently used and available.

I haven't listed them for sale anywhere yet, but I planned to.  I'll take any reasonable offer, if anyone is interested.

I was also in search of just 1-2 pairs that I loved rather than several that I didn't feel great in so I splurged a bit and liked both pairs

Nom Maternity Soho Jeans - $130-ish (I am 5'10" and these are plenty long for me which was one of the hardest things to find - I really like the fit)

Madwell Over the Belly in Danny Wash $138 - (These fit me more like capris which was fine in Summer but doesn't work for fall. If you are shorter than me they would be totally fine - definitely size down vs. your normal size)

I have had crappy luck. I saw some on the clearance rack at target for $9 and turns out - they are the only pair of maternity pants that fit me decently. They are over the belly with a v backing for the belly panel.

Why do maternity clothes have to suck so bad? Ugh.

Ok- saw these yesterday. They REALLY exaggerated my bump but seemed pretty comfy. My question was- do they stay up?

These are the only ones that stay up for me. I normally am a size 8-10, but I tried on the 6 that was on the clearance rack and they’ve been fitting great. Maybe try a size down to see if that helps?

I actually feel like sizing down in maternity pants is key since they seem to stretch more than normal pants.

Especially with the pulling on and off so many times!

[woowoo]

I bought two pairs of Paige under belly jeans (one regular and one black) and I'm so glad I spent the money. I wore them the entire pregnancy and even though I've lost the baby wait, I'm still wearing them now. They are just too cute.

I might actually see if a tailor can take the stretchy panels out because I love them so much!

I bought a couple of cheaper pairs, but the ones I wore virtually every time were J Brand (on sale):

Did you find that these J Brand jeans stay up?  I bought a pair and I'm debating whether to keep them.
