"Petite" Maternity clothes...

I know it sounds wierd but I did find a pair of petite maternity jeans at Motherhood last night...but I can't find anything else.

I'm a little under 5'2" and the regular maternity pants are waaaay too long for me...as in by 4-5 inches too long!

DH said "roll them up" - yeah, ok...Chat Icon

Anyone know where they sell different lengths in pants? I dont want capris, but 'short' lengths would really help.

Re: "Petite" Maternity clothes...

Excellent! Thanks girls.

It's almost embarassing...as of Sunday when I was getting ready for a chirstening, my 'regular' pants no longer fit me! I'm 2 months PG (my Mom said when she was 2 mos she couldnt wear any of her regular pants either)...my stomach is just so bloated or puffy or wahtever....my regular pants are like 4 inches from closing! I'm not even eating a lot - I'm eating less than usual because Im sick most of the time. But, I can't fit in to my clothes so I have to buy some smaller maternity. Even my regular tops, the button down ones I wear for work...my boobs dont fit in them anymore! Crazy!

Have you tried the rubberband trick yet? Take a rubberband, loop around the opening in the pants and put around the button. This helps during the "in between stages" and then just wear larger tops. I found this helped temporarily.

Yep I did this too Chat Icon But now the gap is a good 4 inches and rubber bands just aren't cutting it. Plus 99% of my pants have clasps, not bottons.

Re: "Petite" Maternity clothes...

did anyone wear regular old navy pants before they were pg?

My butt always prevented me from being comfy. When I got the butt into old navy jeans the waist was 5 inches too big! I am such a pear shape...I love gap jeans, anyone know how much maternity jeans go for at the gap?

Not to scare you but the same thing is happening to my friend and she is having twins! Are you? I didn't think so but you never know.
