Maternity Jeans!!!

[FlowerFairy]

How the HELL do you keep them up!!!!!!! I have 2 pairs and every time I wear them and walk they fall down!!

They are "over the bump" ones from Dorothy Perkins in my size. When I put them on they look lovey and as soon as I move the gradually work their way down

HELP ME PLEASE!!

Have you look at Blooming Marvellous whatever that is called on the internet, they have some maternity jeans with band on the front to support the bump? x

 

[FlowerFairy]

Oh I will have to have a look! thanks x

 

[Nanaki]

You are welcome... Hope other ladies can help you with this as well xx

i have the same problem with trousers i have from mamas and papas and mothercare! with my jeans i was wearing a belt until that didn't fit. now i wear my bump bands over the top so that if they do move down i have some leeway before pulling them up!

not sure why this is hunni, i wear over the bump jeans (the ones with the blue elasticated band thingy that sits over bump) i used them with my last pregnancy too and never had a problem with them, sorry you have cause they are so comfy! xxx

 

[FlowerFairy]

Thanks ladies. It might be my shape? I will keep trying them

 

[special_kala]

mine do exactly the same thing, feel like there going to end up around my ankles

 

[kimbobaloobob]

lol i wear under the bump ones when possible (apart from work trousers) they tend to be more adjustable

 

[purpledahlia]

mine are really comfy, over the bump dark blue denim from next...

I think it depends on your bump shape/size. I had some over the bump ones from H&M with Evie and up until 6 months they were exactly the same, fell down all the time, but after that when my bump got bigger they were the best maternoty jeans ever!!. Ive got some under the bump ones for now and one pair of over the bump ones in the next size up for a bit later, when my bump (and bum) is bigger and the weather is colder . xx

Seriously I must have around 30 pairs, not kidding.
I have the under bump full band, under bump side panels, over bump, tie waist, every kind that is made from several different shops and they ALL fall down.
It's not just jeans, it's trousers, joggers, leggings.
I really think it must be my shape.
I have to wear a belt or I am constantly pulling them up. Thats ok if I am just walking, but sitting down with a tight belt on is agony at 36 weeks!

The main reasons I can't wait to give birth are heartburn, and the need to get back into trousers that don't fall down every 2 seconds

I have over the bump jeans from H&M and they stay up great, if anything theyre very snug x

 

[FlowerFairy]

Cheers ladies!

I am carrying very low down, and wonder if that's contributing to them slipping off I will keep trying. Luckily the ones I got were only £12 BOGOF so not too much of a waste

I've had the same problem, in the end I got out the sewing machine and put my own elastic in which seems to have helped. Also a bump band if it's not been within my sewing capabilities to adjust them!

 

[carriecinaz]

I didn't know h&m makes maternity clothes...I hope they do in the states too, I need to go check it out!

I love my over the bump jeans. i have maternity jeans of every description and the over the bumps are by far the best for me and soooooo comfy! Some have elastic at the top of the bump fabric, which, i don't know if you've looked, you can pull in and adjust to tighter with a little button on the elastic so that it fits snugly over the very top of your bump, thus preventing the jeans from slipping down.

Hope this helps?

mine fall down because I keep loosing weight!!!
The best ones are the over the bump ones I bought from Next, they are a couple of sizes too big for me now but they do stay up...the over the bump panel comes right up to under my boobs...haha!
I have taken to ALWAYS wearing a bump band as well, partly because I have SPD partly because it helps keep things on.
I actually bought a size 8 pair of maternity joggers.....honestly I almost keeled over. A year ago I was a size 22, five months ago I was a size 18.....now I am buying SIZE EIGHT???!!! I swear maternity wear is bizzarre and when Ive had baby I will be back in big sizes again...its a trick to make pregnant women feel skinnier!!!

 

[Ell87]

I got some Next ones off eBay and I've ended up ripping the band part now because I've been dragging them up so often, when I first got them I loved them but now they're a chore to wear because they just annoy me so much!

I got a pair of black jogger style trousers from New Look and love them, they are so comfy and stay put, lol.

I just noticed this post.....I have maternity jeans from dorothy perkins over the bump ones that were BOGOF at £12.00 ( love their sales) and they CONSTANTLY slide down its really annoying because they are such nice jeans and make my bump look a lot neater. But when it comes to moving in them, sitting down walking etc they slide down and theyre really awkward to pull up because you have to pull your top up and grab each side and pull (haha) not easy to do if your out and about!

Think it might be the dorothy perkins maternity jeans themselves becuase my ones from new look are completly fine ....wont be buying them again no matter how cheap or nice they look!
