    Default Best Maternity Jeans EVAR.

    Y'all have been so helpful in tips for me; though it was time to throw in my own Public Service Announcement.

    I loathe the jeans I penny-pinchingly picked up from Old Navy. They do have some cute stuff, but the jeans are just horrid. Tight in all the wrong places, stiff, always falling down, I mean, who fuckin' needs it?

    I finally broke down and got a recommendation from a mommy board, and went to pick up my new Motherhood jeans today - the Super Stretch jeans with the Secret Fit belly - and they are worth every penny. And what's really nuts is that I had only saved a grand total of about 5 DOLLARS for the displeasure of enduring the Old Navy version. Hallelujah!

    I might just give the Old Navy pairs to the Salvation Army NOW. Really not an overstatement just how comfortable and practical and cute they are. Got a pair of black pants for work with the same Secret Fit belly too. If you're put off by the 'full coverage' of the belly part - DON'T BE! I initially was, thinking it would feel too restrictive, but the fabric is actually amazingly light and very, very stretchy. They even have varying leg lengths to better customize your fit. The denim itself is also very stretchy. SO. COMFY.

    I'm reluctant to spend a whole lot of money on maternity clothes, and have a lot of hand-me-downs and such, but man, I'm worth two good, versatile pairs of pants, damn it! Three more months is a lot of mileage in my book. Besides, I do plan on having at least one more baby, so these will get plenty of wear.

    Hope that helps anyone who thought they were resigned to the same fate!

    No prob.

    While I'm at it, I'll also pass on the cutest maternity t-shits I've found. That old "Baby" with the down-arrow is so tired.

    My favorite (since I miss all three):

    I wish i had just sucked it up and got the full belly panel.
    I suffered with "below the belly" bullshit thinking it would look cuter and instead i was just tugging it up the whole time
    I have successfully grown OUT of my maternity jeans at this point and live in sweatpants, welcome to my own personal fashion version of hell.
    Say it with me now--

    I wish they had these when I was pregnant! I loathed Old Navy's maternity jeans with a fiery passion. I bought a pair of the "real waist" maternity jeans with no belly panel, just elastic in the sides, and had to retire them from my maternity wardrobe at just about 7 months. Whack!

    Thanks for posting this!!

    After enduring the Old Navy maternity jeans this past pregnancy, I have vowed to return to full panel maternity jeans next time around.

    I have 4 pairs of the Old Navy jeans. 2 are the "low cut" panels (I spend more time hiking them up...but if I'm carrying Adrian down the stairs, the pants will actually end up below my ass. Not a fun thing...especially in public. LOL

    I have the Old Navy full panels, as well...and while they're better, I still don't like them.

    I am so going to go buy those jeans. I need 3 pairs. I haven't spent any money on maternity clothes this time around...so I can totally dig these.

    Thanks, Rose!!!

    ^^ I recommend sarongs in the summer over a bikini, they are so light and airy and they add some coverage but can be removed easily.
    I'm all for pregnant women in bikinis (when appropriate)

    Yes, ma'am. Due in June. LOL

    When I went through the summer with Makayla, I found this t-shirt dress (size XXL, haahaa) that was huge on me...until I hit the end of my pregnancy and the extra cloth came in handy. I just shortened the straps and I lived in that dress for the last 2-3 months of my pregnancy (end of June, July, August, early September).

    Skip the shorts, they're not too comfy...skip the pants...go find a nice flowy maternity dress (or an oversize dress). You'll never regret that.

    AHHHH! Congtrats to you! I had no idea!I think I will try and find some nice summery dresses, but I already am dreading having to wear my work uniform this summer. I don't know what I am going to do....they don't make maternity pants for medics! But I haven't told my work yet, so who knows what they will suggest. Since I am due in August, maybe I can start my maternity leave in June! Its kinda nice knowing that here we can get up to one year paid maternity leave.

    omg! i HATED the belly panels on maternity clothes!!
    target has some super cute no panel maternity jeans that of course they started selling AS SOON as i had my baby! they're on the website too http://www.target.com/b/?&node=30736...gt%5F1%3AJeans

    and i ended up making a lot of my clothes, mostly because i hated the clothes that the maternity shops around here sold. i got inspiration from isabellaoliver http://www.isabellaoliver.com/matern...bella%20oliver
    they ave some awesome wraps there, and they show you some drawings so i pretty much went from the drawing and made my own. and i gotta say, 4 dollars for material to make a shirt that looks kick ass totally beats paying 120 dollars for the same thing. most of their shirts are ridiculously easy to make, if you are so inspired.

    I needed this thread like, last year! But when the next time comes around, I've got all these cool websites bookmarked. Yeah, I want another one.
    I really don't miss the clothes though. I lived in sweatpants and giant t-shirts and a few sun dresses I bought at the Ross.

    Well, I finally just went and bought a few pairs of these jeans...and they are, hands down, the absolute BEST! I just went through my closet, pulled out all the other maternity jeans/pants and gave them to a neighbor. I absolutely LOVE these jeans!!!!!!
