Maternity jeans

I'm trying to find some maternity jeans. This is my second pregnancy. Last time I got Dorothy Perkins skinny dark jeans. They were perfect for me. Much to my dismay, it appears they don't make them any more.

I have a pair of skinny over bump jeans from new look. They are ok, but quite pale coloured which doesn't suit me as well. I bought a pair of dark, skinny jeans from Jo Jo mame bebe. I'm pretty disappointed with them: they are more like leggings / jeggings, are far too long and don't stay up well.

Can anyone suggest where I can get a pair of dark skinny maternity jeans. I'm a size 10/12 if that makes any difference?

Gap, Mamalicious or Seraphine?

Next? Top shop? I found it a nightmare trying to find maternity jeans or any maternity clothes to be honest.

I got mine from Next.

I've got 2 pairs of Leigh skinny under bump maternity jeans from Topshop. Worn them to death and they are still doing well!

I got my over bump jeans from H&M and they are decent enough.

CountBapula · 02/02/2014 17:18

I've got two pairs from H&M - they're the Mama slim fit, I think. I've practically lived in them this pregnancy. They go all the way over the bump so they've fitted (and stayed up) all the way from when I first started showing and are still fine now at 35 weeks. Really nice style as well - almost like skinnies but without the carrot leg effect - and reasonably priced too.

DS is 18 months now but I found some good ones from Next. Dark, skinny and under bump. Really comfy.

MoominIsGoingToBeAMumWaitWHAT · 02/02/2014 19:14

I got great ones from Primark. £11 a pair.

laura0007 · 02/02/2014 19:25

I have jojo maman and next ones. Both are crap. Don't buy under bump ones they just fall down as you get bigger Hmm

CaipirinhasAllRound · 02/02/2014 20:25

I have 2 pairs from h&m too which I've been living in

Banana79 · 02/02/2014 20:34

Mothercare, comfy and reasonable

louloubellamozzarella · 02/02/2014 20:40

Topshop Leigh are the best I've found. And I tried a LOT! You might need to size up. They are stretch and probably a bit more like jeggings than anything made with thick denim but I think that's so much comfier anyway. They do diff leg lengths so you can get a great fit.

Ilovekittyelise · 02/02/2014 20:40

boden are brilliant over bump ones. quite pricey but theres always vouchers. i agree under bump ones waste of time.

Ilovekittyelise · 02/02/2014 20:42

ps also had a pair of jojomaman ones. shapeless, unflattering, and had a cheap feel to them, as did everything there.

Cardilover · 02/02/2014 20:47

Another vote for h&m! Mama slim and straight legs are both good shapes

Hezbean · 02/02/2014 20:52

I've got two pairs of topshop Leigh skinnies - under the bump and soooo comfy. Wash and wear very well and they don't look to jeggingy - someone yesterday thought I was in my normal jeans as the band at the top was covered with my jumper. I bought size 10 which was my usual size pre pregnancy.

PenguinsDontEatKale · 02/02/2014 21:21

I am on Dc3 and never liked under bump, but am loving new look under bump skinnies thia time.

Apparentlychilled · 02/02/2014 21:27

Anor vote for h&m. If you go for seraphine, a 10-12 is size 1- I bought size 2 and they constantly fell down.

Happymumdays · 02/02/2014 22:18

I have a pair of over bump skinny dark jeans from Mama Jeanius, £65 but I wear them all the time and so comfy, worth the money.

beela · 02/02/2014 22:22

I have one pair from H&M which are fab, but not sure which ones they are as they are hand-me-downs from a friend.

I've also got a pair from Next (also hand me downs) which keep falling down and I spend all day hoiking them back up over my bump.

Cariad007 · 02/02/2014 22:42

Definitely go for over bump. Gives a much smoother line under tops than under bump.

Thatsnotmyfigure · 02/02/2014 23:09

Checking in as I need some! Have turned the house upside down for the one pair I had last pregnancy to no avail!

Another vote for Leigh skinny under bump maternity jeans from Topshop.
Black ones perfect for work and they do different lenghts.
Tried a few others but these are saving me.

I bought two over the bump pairs from Next last week and I LOVE them (am 21w pregnant but this is #2 and I look about 30w!), one are dark skinnes and the other dark bootcut. Both stay up great and are really flattering on my ever increasing bump and rump!

qazxc · 03/02/2014 16:29

I got a pair from Mothercare in the sale and they are fabulous. They have an over the bump band and extra elastic button band. You can remove the bump band after giving birth and they become an "ordinary" pair of jeans.
