anyone else totally fed up with maternity jeans??

I AM!! here is my little history on the relationship between myself and maternity jeans:

i was a size 1 before getting pregnant, so that in itself makes it hard for me to find jeans that actually FIT.... ive been to EVERYYYYY maternity store looking for a pair of jeans that fit... im not looking for 100% comfy fit, but something that doesnt fall off my a$$ as i walk

the closest i've come is to buying a size 2 maternity jeans at old navy... even those fell down throughout the day, but they were bearable

a co-worker who was a size 0 before she was preggo gave me 3 pairs of her jeans.... NOTHING fit me right!! i wore one of the pairs over the weekend & when i got home from running errands, the crotchh of the pants was half way down my thigh lol i finally just got so aggrivated i threw them out lol

so NOWWWW with the cold weather coming (and the fact that i cannot survive on one pair of jeans) i suucked it up and ordered a size 1 maternity jeans from oldnavy.com... even tho i am very against buying jeans online b/c i feel like i need to try them on to see how they feel, KWIM? but i am super desperate at this point!!

if these dont fit me the way i hope, im giving up all hope on finding jeans & just living the rest of this pregnancy in yoga pants and sweats LOL (i only have 2 months to go!)

I bought maternity skinny jeans from Old Navy size 4 (thats what I am pre pregnancy) and they fit amazzzzzzing. They never sag and are so comfy. I have one other pair but all I wear are these. I love them!

I never found a pair that fit me when I was pregnant with DS. I hated all of them. This time around I told the saleswoman in Destination Maternity how they always fell down last time, etc. She told me they're made "bigger" so to buy a size smaller than what I'd normall wear. In Mimi for example they're only a S, M, L I think, I'm normally an 8 which would be a M so I tried on a size Small. While they were tight in the dressing room she assured me they'd fit, and the first time I wore them after a little while they stretched out considerably and fit perfect. So now all I buy is small, or a number size smaller than my pre-pg size.

Re: anyone else totally fed up with maternity jeans??

I was a size 0 before pregnancy and the only jeans that i can tolerate are from forever21. I bought a size 25, it falls down, but it's better than anything else i've tried.

Re: anyone else totally fed up with maternity jeans??

I have the fall down problem too...except the whole jean falls down...they end up half way to my knees by the end of the day!

Oh and my legs are where I gained most of the weight...my thighs are huge...so no skinny jeans for me

I was a size 0 pre-pregnancy and I had great success at Gap Maternity. Old Navy runs much too big for me but Gap has very cute skinny maternity jeans that I just started wearing at 16 weeks. They look great and fit great.

Re: anyone else totally fed up with maternity jeans??

I bought a pair of maternity "jeggings" at Old Navy because I was having a hard time finding a pair of jeans that fit good.
I still feel like I have to pull up the waist band after sitting a while, but overall they give me a much more fitted feel. I might stick with these for the rest of my pregnancy.

Re: anyone else totally fed up with maternity jeans??

I am the same as you. I tried on the size 2 in old navy and they semi fit, a little saggy in the butt, but I bought them anyway. Still not pleased though I ordered the size 1 full panel dark wash jeans from old navy online and I LOVE them. Fit perfectly. Hope you love yours too

Re: anyone else totally fed up with maternity jeans??

I gave up on finding maternity jeans. I NEVER found a pair that didn't fall down. Good luck with the hold navy ones!

Re: anyone else totally fed up with maternity jeans??

I've done really well with the Pea in the Pod brand. They are like $80-ish and come in petite length. I have 2 pair; I'm thinking of buying another pair or two as I....get bigger! Maybe a "skinny" style with the leg. As for other pants I've had a hard time. I seem to be in 2 in Gap and Old Navy.

Re: anyone else totally fed up with maternity jeans??

I just wanted to say that I was a size 12 pre-pregnancy and all you ladies amaze me.

I can't find any jeans that don't fall off but that fit over my thunder thighs. I have one fair pair but it kinda stinks too. But I also don't want to spend money on too much maternity clothes.

Re: anyone else totally fed up with maternity jeans??

I saw size 1 maternity pants at old navy by penn station...
