I don't really have a proper bump but I don't know if it's worth buying more normal jeans that are going to cut into me, I'm 16 weeks with no.3 so hopefully it will be soon?
I have maternity jeans from h&m, they're really nice, skinny jeans with a nice thick over the bump band. I've had other over the bump jeans but the band is only elastic at the top and not really good while you're waiting for your bump?
Does anyone know anything like this? I was going to order from h&m online but I need a size 14 and they don't have it.
Thanks!
 
Ive bought some nice ones from mothercare by blooming marvellous. Theyre indigo with a stretchy belly panel and little zips at the ankles. The panel comes up over bump but fits quite snuggly... i dont have much of a bump right now but have gone wide x
 
I got some really nice ones in next! They have a high band but would be fine even when waiting for a bump xx

I have some from new look.I find they fit really nice and I got them all in the salesale.I have two over the bump which have a snug fitting band and one under the bump which I wear a belt with
 
I've got a pair of size 14 from new look which seem huge, I've ended up buying a pair of size 10 from primark, really comfy (not to mention they don't fall down like the old ones) all under bump as I didn't have a bump till about 22 weeks and now seem to have exploded. I prefer the under bump ones as they fit better on me :).

(I was a size 14/16 on bottom half before pregnancy)
 
I sometimes fold the panel down, bump is starting to grow now so most of the time I just leave it now but when I was starting to show I just folded it over. Normal jeans were just not comfortable and folding it in half worked well.
 
I would just go for the mat jeans if I were you. I bought all my mat jeans from Walmart.com they're super cheap and I actually like them better than some of my more expansive ones I got second-hand. No sense breaking the bank on something you can only wear for 6mo. The Planet Motherhood full panel 5 pocket book-cut jean in lrg is my fav, I'm also about a size 14, but they have other brands and styles to choose from. Held off on the mat jeans for a long time with my first pregnancy, but this time around I couldn't wait to start wearing them and have been since 12 weeks :)
 
I ordered maternity jeans from The Loft when all of their clothing was 50% off. I got jeans for like $25/pair. I also have a pair from The Gap which are my favorite, but they are so expensive! My jeans from The Gap have the side band so they look like normal jeans and are super comfortable. My jeans from The Loft are both mid-band and high-band. I'm not a fan of the high-band jeans because they make me super hot, especially when I'm wearing a tank-top and a shirt on top of them.
 
I got my maternity jeans from Next :thumbup:
 
None of the shops seem to stock maternity jeans in store? And even on the websites they're sold out of the size I need. Doesn't help that I usually wear a longer leg. I went to my m&s the other day which is a huge store and their range was rubbish! It's important to me that they fit well as it's all I wear.
 
I just got some from next - they do long and extra long too
 
I just got my Gap maternity jeans in the mail today and I am in love! Gap is pricey, but the online Gap store has awesome sales, I got my jeans for 40% off and I had another 10% off coupon- so they were under $40 and shipping was included. I don't really have a proper bump yet, but my normal jeans are uncomfortable on my belly so I've been living in yoga pants for weeks. I bought the full band because I figured they would last the longest through the pregnancy, I can either fold the band in half so it's a demi, or use it all the way up once I have a proper bump.
