Maternity jeans help

[lampert]

Has anyone got any solutions to my jeans issue?!

I am a size 12-14 (or I was, probably more 14 now) but carry loads of weight on my hips. Consequently, all the maternity jeans I’ve tried fit ok but look horrendous because where the jeans material finishes, I have these huge bulging love handles where the over bump material is! They look awful!

I have got some maternity Spanx but they aren’t really what I want to wear daily. 21 weeks and getting desperate - help!

What size jeans are you buying? I would perhaps try the next size up just for maternity.

What brands have you tried? I bought cheapish ones (new look etc) for my first pregnancy but they really didn't last or fit that well. I've gone up a price bracket (about £30) this time round and it's definitely made a difference. On top of that which ever size/style I've tried in top shop ones that haven't fit despite others saying they are great. It's worth trying a few different brands.

Have you only tried over bump or do you have the same problem with under bump ones too?
