Did your maternity jeans shrink at 1st washing?
I'm wearing my new maternity jeans for the first time today. They are still a little baggy (I don't recall them being so in the store) and fall down a little. I have them cuffed like 4 times. I'll hem them until after I wash them.
Did yours shrink a lot? I normally wash all colors in cold water and dry normal. I may wash my others before wearing.
TIA 
ETA: oh... I got them at Maternity Works in the Source Mall. The brand of the pair I'm wearing says American Star.

Re: Did your maternity jeans shrink at 1st washing?
These are called American Star and they are the smaller of the two (same size just fit smaller). Just checked the other pair and they are Motherhood. My sis did tell me to be careful how I wash them as her clothes shrunk a lot. But I think I'm going to try to shrink these! Like a dope I took off and threw away all the tags! I do have the receipt though. I'm sure in due time I'll fill them out. The legs are okay it's just the belly band I'm not really even stretching yet.
ETA: Still waaaayyy more comfy than my regular jeans!

I got my jeans from old navy and found they really didn't shrink, but they do have alot of stretch in them.

Me too! I thought that they would shrink like "normal" jeans but they're still quite large...don't get me wrong, I still wear them!

I hope mine shrink a little!!! I'm in the same boat as OP ... wearing mine for the first time and they keep slipping down and the B Band isn't helping at all (well, it is helping cover my skin!!! LOL).
