Best maternity over bump skinny jeans and jeggings??

Any recommendations?? So far i've tried Next and Topshops and they were not great. Too bulky or heavy.

I'm lookin for something light and stretchy, so even jeggings would be great.

I don't like the ones with the side panels or the band that is a couple inches, i only like the jeans with the full bump cover.

Thanks so much! x

Does anyone else get severe tummy pain when they wear a'thing with a tight/high bump band? I think it's possibly trapped wind (lovely I know), but it's pretty severe. Got it last week when I wore a pair of over the bump leggings. Vest top and streychy dress. My jeans are from Seraphine (£25 in the sale!) and so far are staying put. Am only 16 weeks but have a sizeable bump (my third-that's my excuse!).

I got a pair of maternity jeggings from www.globalmaternity.com. They are made by Boob Design and are over the bump ones. They've got 20% off at the moment. Good to get a bargain these days.

I also got the Gap always skinny jeans (had to buy a size 2, though I am a 10/12!) they are amazing, over the bump and true to form, always skinny. The darker denim doesn't seem to fit as skinny as the lighter one though. Really comfy and always stay up. Also got an ASOS maternity pair which stay skinny for about 10minutes then go baggy in all the wrong places...

Oh my I have had such difficulty finding maternity stuff where I live! Had to drive 30 miles found h and m ! The size 18's were way too small where as in new look size 18 are way too big! But luckily h nd m went up to a 20 and they are great !!! So bought skinny jeans a pair of cargo type and black casuals but I'm hoping I can wear these for a while after ????

I tried Next but the elastic was a joke pretty flimsy - I'm wearing Dorothy Perkins now - the elastic is 1" tall and they stay where they should be much better, and they're really nice and comfy.

H & M ... for everything. Including knickers. They are FAB :)

I also quite liked Next jeans until I got massive (3rd trimester!) and then they dug in like mad!

I have H&M over the bumb leggings, but am actually (even at 39 weeks) vastly more comfortable in basic John Lewis leggings a size bigger than usual worn under the bump. This only works with dresses/long tunics though.

Next jeans are also good at first, but there is still some pressure under the bump as well as at the top, and denim is less forgiving in my poor stretched skin.
