Maternity skinny jean recommendations?

9 replies

Evening all,
Can anyone recommend a decent maternity skinny jean?
I was going to get these Boden ones but the reviews are pretty awful, then spotted these in Mothercare, but not sure about the fit/quality and removable bump band palava. Confused

I need over-the-bump, indigo or dark wash, and preferably some stretch in the denim.
Am usually a size 12-14, but with early-pg bloating am most definitely on the 14 side already!
I had under-bump Gap jeans and work trousers last time (size 10-12, so to hopeful about re-using), but was constantly having to hitch them up.

Any suggestions please? Thanks & Cake

*not too hopeful about re-using, that should read...

I got the maternity version of top shop 'baxters', they have been through four pregnancies now (only 2 of them mine ) and are now my gardening jeans :)
I would say I got my moneys worth from them.

My favourites were h&m mama over the bump ones. Stayed up with just the right amount of give that they didn't go baggy! They were a really nice colour too, easy to dress up or down. HTH

Love love love my Seraphine ones - they were more flattering than my pre-pregnancy ones and and 3 girls from my work bought the same ones after mine arrived! They sit on the bump, which I found much more comfy than over-the-bump, and less likely to slip that under-the-bump.

Seconding topshop baxter equivalent, saw me through 2 pregnancies and a friend through one too, flattering and comfy

H&M definitely . I have a bagful of H&M mama clothes that I am not 100% sure I will use again but may consider having dc3 just to wear them again !! GrinGrinGrin

My H&M mama skinnies arrived today and are BRILLIANT! Thank you all for the recommendations.
Now the weather has officially turned, I don't think I'll be wearing anything else for the foreseeable future! :)

Oh so comfy, aaaaaaaaaahhhhh.....
