Bought my first pair of maternity jeans!!
For those on the fence wondering if you should take the plunge or not, I say DO IT! 
I went to Motherhood Maternity yesterday and the saleswoman was so nice and she is having a March baby too  I found a pair I like with the Secret Fit belly and I actually wore them out of the store I was so happy with them. I tried on a couple of pairs without the Secret Fit and my biggest complaint is that you can totally see the band under your shirt -- not so flattering... 
I met 3 other March Mommies in the store and I felt so much better about buying my "stretchy jeans!" I was worried I was just getting big thanks to the carb loading I've been doing but they all couldn't comfortably fit in their jeans either so let's blame the !
HTH!! 
PS: The pants there run on an XS-XL system and I think they run big since I am wearing a size S in their jeans and I don't think I own anything else with an S on it... I am a solid M. Hope this helps!

Re: Bought my first pair of maternity jeans!!
how happy are you now??
i agree about their sizes... i am wearing a S in all their pants except for one, and those Ms are a bit loose still at 35 weeks! plus i gained about 10 lbs before i got PG, so i KNOW i wasn't the same size 4-6 as i was when i got married.
i am telling you, i don't know how i am going to go back to wearing regular pants once the baby arrives

Re: Bought my first pair of maternity jeans!!
I found a pair of khakis that I liked but I wanted them in a Petite so I don't have to pay to have them hemmed. Does anyone order online from Motherhood or do you always try it on?

I think their stuff runs big too. I've been buying all mediums in pants though cause I don't know how big I'm going to get, and I don't want to buy any more!!

i have ordered tons of stuff from there (pants only) and everything in the small size fit perfectly.
shirts and dresses i would try on in the store b/c i have a huge chest so depending on the style those fit me differently. most of the time i am a S or M.

You've inspired me to take a trip to the maternity store.

Re: Bought my first pair of maternity jeans!!
I'm 13 weeks today and plan on hitting up the store on my way home. I've been wearing skirts and dresses lately because they are the most comfortable at this point. But my work pants are just so not comfy anymore. I don't want to buy alot, maybe a pair of capris for the weekends and a couple of pair of pants for work. I know I'm going to have to buy alot once the winter comes, so I'm trying to hold off as long as possible.

I just bought my first pair but only because they were on sale. They told me that a size Small was their smallest (thery're pretty big on me) It'll prob be a bit longer till I have to wear them

Re: Bought my first pair of maternity jeans!!
I think that I will survive the fall/winter with a couple pairs of black pants and khakis. I am not planning on going overboard on buying maternity clothes. I will be totally content to wear the same 5 outfits over and over to work

Re: Bought my first pair of maternity jeans!!
I have bought their pants too in a S. I love the secret fit belly pants.
I am glad to be off zippers and buttons...it's great!
