Q: What are your favorite maternity jeans and where did you get them?

I've never, ever had jeans that I like or are even remotely comfortable during pregnancy. I prefer a full belly panel, nothing skinny, and roomy in the thighs. I've tried Oh, Mama! from Kohls, several Motherhood styles (all of which I found to be uncomfortable and unflattering), and Liz Lange with an adjustable waist from Target. I had a pair of Oh, Mama! capris that were okay, but I'm due in April, so will need warm weather clothes. This is my 6th pregnancy (two have carried to term) and tend to need maternity jeans super early to accommodate bloating, then an early baby bump. I'm super frugal and don't know if I'll ever be pg again, so my budget is low. I live in a small town with no maternity stores, so I'll either have to go out of town or order online. I'm handy with a sewing machine, so I may try converting regular jeans into maternity by adding a band, but I thought I'd reach out and see if anyone has located the elusive comfortable maternity jean!

I really liked old navy maternity jeans. I ordered them all online because even if you have a store nearby the selection is horrible. I was able to find some great boot cut and flare full panel jeans for a decent price, about $20-30 a pair. Look for bogo deals on their maternity jeans. They ran true to size as far as the waist but did run very long. I am 5'4" and wear regular length jeans normally but should have ordered the short length. I ended up taking 2 pairs to the tailors instead of mailing them back and getting the short length because it was faster and I needed them right away as I was busting out of my non maternity jeans! If any maternity wear doesn't fit quite right I highly recommend tailoring them because you want to be comfy and feel like you look good to boost your pregnancy confidence. There's nothing worse than having to wear a frumpy pair of maternity jeans!

I'm thinking of trying to sell some stuff there, too! I got three pairs of jeans, a cardigan, and a hoodie for $45! I wish the items had better descriptions on some things, but it's pretty cool.

I just placed an order with swap.com and got three different brands. One is Old Navy and they looked pretty roomy in the thighs. The listing had the size as M (8-10), so hopefully they'll work. I figured that, if nothing else, I can transfer the belly band onto a pair of jeans that I like. I got one pair with side panels that might be good for this bloated phase when belly panels are overkill, but regular jeans get uncomfortable. I'd never used swap.com before, so I don't know what to expect. One pair still had tags at least.
