Maternity jeans help needed :(

I have now tried on jeans from Top Shop, H&M, Asos and Seraphine with absolutely no luck! Are there any other good and not too pricey brands out there? Am getting a little depressed about it tbh - I live in my jeans and am down to the last pre-pregnancy pair that fit, but they look rather scruffy now and do nothing for my self-confidence. At 28 weeks I haven't even put on that much weight - it shouldn't be so hard to find decent jeans!!

H&M on Regent St has a small maternity section in the basement. Zara used to do a really nice maternity range but I think they've discontinued it now, which is a real shame. DPs too used to have a huge online maternity section but now nothing.

My best ones are from next. My new look ones are now way too tight on my thighs and the bump panel is splitting down the side. They were so comfy when i got them and not sure if they have shrunk in the wash (even though i have washed them the same as usual) but they are useless now. Hoping they might be good for after baby had arrived.

I've given up on jeans TBH, I spend the entire day pulling them up.

I bought mine from mothercare, they have a massive range and you can try them on. I don't like any of their other clothes, but the jeans are fab. Bought mine at 16 weeks and I'm still wearing them comfortably at 37 weeks :)

They were £30.

I got some in the Mamas and Papas sale and have been living in them (two pairs) since about 10 weeks! Very comfy.

I have Gap over bump ones and use a snug bump band (a support one, so it's tight) to hold them up. Never have found any that stay up properly by themselves.

I struggled and ended up finding funmum.com. Their maternity jeans are ACE!

I have maternity bottoms from primark, newlook, mothercare, h&m, next, dorothy Perkins, matalan. My primark ones are the comfiest by far. They are big made I think because I had to go down a size but they fit like any other non maternity jeans I owned. They are called 'soft & slim' or something.

I would try Gap. They are really long and fit great, look like proper jeans. I found Next ones massive!
