any suggestions...all mine so far either go baggy, see through, or bobble and wear badly between the legs ???

Next do good ones - but the sizing seems very big. Get one or two sizes smaller than you think you need.

I'm on H&M ones and so far so good. They do random cuts though so make sure you get one that works for you!

AnythingNotEverything · 17/01/2014 12:40

The navy ones in Mothercare were good. The black ones were sized very oddly and we're tiny.

I wore normal black ones in the end but wore them under my bump.

I just got some from H&M recently and they're really good. They were in the sale too!

babsie007 · 17/01/2014 13:30

I got mine from next and did find they initially seemed a size too big - but once washed a few times they seemed to shrink in. Either that or I have filled them out.... Hmm

Next Smile so comfy ! cant wait to use mine.

SaucyJack · 17/01/2014 13:57

I got mine from New Look. No complaints with them whatsoever.

greentshirt · 17/01/2014 14:02

Mine are from new look, they are going a bit see through but great for the price.

I had done from topshop which were horrendous, every review online said they were crap and they were really arsey about taking them back!

I ordered some Isabella Oliver ones from zulily this week reduced to £15.99, have got high hopes for those although I'm a bit worried about what colour they might turn out to be, I'm expecting caviar to be black!

I second h&m. Also asda ones seem ok.

(Though must say I never wear them as "trousers", only under dresses, so not sure if they are more translucent on the thigh as these never see the light of day!)

greentshirt · 17/01/2014 14:44

Haha quite right jaykay, they are leggings, not trousers, no one should ever see your legging clad crotch!!!

caledonianclown · 17/01/2014 15:05

Boden ones are really good, super soft and thick. Pricey but I got mine on sale so definitely worth it!

OwlBeThereForYou · 17/01/2014 15:10

I'm living in h&m leggings, they were bought on a whim out of desperation (Christmas shopping comfort) but not wearing anything else since. Very cheap but seem like good quality, not bobbling despite the constant wear!

onenutshortofasnickers · 17/01/2014 16:22

I'm living in h&m leggings, my mw only said yesterday how maternity leggings ares much better to wear than anything else.

I live in them, its just easier to be comfy.

I really reccomend h&m, no problems so far and I oonly have a month to go!

ChicaMomma · 17/01/2014 16:26

ASOS have some great ones.

I got these ones, they are slightly more expensive than the H&M equivalent but super comfy and they stay up!! i got a few pairs in Red Herring @Debenhams and they jsut kept falling down.. so annoying.

NOT Red Herring.

Laquila · 17/01/2014 16:36

I LOVED H&M maternity leggings but agree that their lengths are all over the place so try on first!

I also quite liked the Blooming Marvellous ones from
Mothercare but only early on as they didn't go all the way over my bump towards the end (and I didn't even have a very big bump!)

H&M Mama jeans also brilliant.

Julietee · 17/01/2014 16:39

Jojo Maman Bebe do a pair of super comfy ones (called something like that too). I've lived in mine and they are wearing well. Not heavyweight though if outside activities are a factor.

FlossieTreadlight · 17/01/2014 16:39

Topshop's were amazing. Felt v sorry when I wasn't legitimately allowed to wear them anymore.

Julietee · 17/01/2014 16:43

(And I have found all the jeans etc really uncomfortable because of below-bump seams, so I have a low tolerance for diggy-in seams).

HandragsNGladbags · 17/01/2014 17:14

ASOS are great but I find all their maternity stuff BIG and I'm an 18 so not a little slip of a girl Grin

Charingcrossbun · 17/01/2014 18:43

I found new look maternity jeggings to be good mainly because they don't go see through as they stretch they were £12 which is not cheap for leggings but I have worn a d worn....

Shruggy · 17/01/2014 18:51

I've got loads of TopShop pairs and they are wonderfully comfy, going over the bump and washing up fine.

91chloejp · 17/01/2014 18:55

If you want to be a cheapy like me Grin get them off eBay! £3.99 and they have lasted me since 6 weeks up until now (31 weeks pregnant)
