3rd trimester ladies - pants?

im in my 2nd trimester and just bought a bunch of pants/shorts for summer. it wasnt until i got the delivery that i realized most of them are that underbelly waist. up until now - i have really liked the full panel that comes on the pants. i like to stretch it up over my entire belly - i feel really put together and neat when wearing that.

so i was debating returning most of what i bought when my dh brought up a point - when you are in your 3rd trimester and really large - does that full panel stretch over your whole belly? or do you prefer the underbelly waist so your belly can just go over the top of the pants?

any advice on what pants you like would help - cause im not sure if i want to return what ive bought or if i should keep it.

Im in my 5th month and I really love the full panel.

my friend who is in her 7th month says the panel that goes under your belly digs in to your stomach and she found it really uncomfortable.

I only like the full panel pants

As I got to the end, I couldn't even wear my underbelly panel pants! My belly got so low and the pants were just uncomfortable. I was always more comfortable in my full panel pants, especially at the end. They all stretched and covered most, if not all of my belly!

All the jeans my DH got me for xmas are the stretchy panel that goes below the belly.

I HATE THEM!!! At first they fit great but now that I am in my third trimester and my belly is huge all the pants do are fall down or the panel rolls up and you can fill it slipping down.

My girlfriend sent me a pair of full panel jeans and I love them so much. I only have one pair and I wear them all the time lol. When I go get some capris I am going full panel all the way.

At 31 weeks, no pants fit me now!
I had to switch to all dresses. I was wearing the full panel but it got too tight!

Re: 3rd trimester ladies - pants?

I have one pair of the underbelly pants. They are awful! I felt like my pants were falling down all day long. They drove me nuts!

I am sticking with the full pannel.

Re: 3rd trimester ladies - pants?

i sort of preferred the full panel up until it got too hot to wear. i had some under belly pants but i found they sag a lot in the butt area and i had to keep hiking them up. i went back to the full panel.

I love the full panel and having the choice of folding them over when I need to let my stomach air out

I only liked the full panel.

I used my BeBand from Target for most of my pregnancy because they would fall down on me all the time though!

Full panel for me and I love it!

Re: 3rd trimester ladies - pants?

I much prefer the full panels, especially for work. The underbelly pants do not feel secure to me at all. Even my full panel jeans which did not fit well early in the pregnancy (mainly from crotch sagging but also from the panel sliding down) fit great now.

Re: 3rd trimester ladies - pants?

With DD I HATED full panel pants. They made me so itchy. This time around I like full panel a little better, but I prefer dresses.

All pants bother me at the seam where the stretchy part meets the pants themselves and I spend half the day with my hands down the front of my pants so Junior can have some space to move.

Re: 3rd trimester ladies - pants?

they stretch but I prefer to fold the panel and keep it under my belly. Otherwise I feel like I am fidgeting with it too much and you can see the lines from the panel through my shirt. They are very comfy folded over though IMO
