If you're not thin, where have you bought maternity jeans from?

I'm a 16 but very bottom (and thigh) heavy, so can only ever wear boot cut jeans - Gap Curvy range are my usuals. I haven't tried to get any maternity jeans yet, but last time every shopping trip was depressing and unsuccessful so I spent the entire time in leggings instead!

Anyone got any shopping tips?

I got 16s bootcut from Next and New Look. New Look were only £15 I think, v bargainous. Everywhere else seems to only do skinnies which I def don't do!

I'm a 14 and have always found Next jeans fit me best. Also they do a choice of leg lengths. Recently bought a pair of maternity bootcut jeans from there and they're very comfy and more flattering than I thought maternity jeans would be. I went for the ones with thin stretchy band. I've found that over the bump is probably for when heavily pregnant and would be a bit warm in the summer.

I'm a 16 and have had pairs from Gap, Asda and Mamas and Papas. Gap by far the best though.

i am a 18/20

I found next to be very good, I also have long legs and thigh heavy but they fit me really well.

I got the two pairs with a band lower down and one with a over the bump which I have only just been able to wear as my bump is now big enough. Washed to death and still look fine.

Try New Look bootcut jeans. I've found them really comfy & quite flattering. They're only £15 or so a pair.

Gap were good, Seraphine were fab, soooo comfortable and didn't keep falling down Smile

Next do a wide fit pair which I have lived in through this pregnancy. Very flattering and work with boots, pumps and flip flops.

Another vote for new look cheapies. Am 31 weeks and have lived in their over the bump jeans for months now, v comfy and wash well :)

Mamas and papas. I got boyfriend ones. VERY generous sizing. Normally I'm a 16 but got 14 cos u like the baggy look but really could have got a 12 Smile
