Is there any recommendations for short length or petite maternity clothes in particular jeans or leggings? Thanks in advance

You might be in luck with Next. I need tall things and their longer lengths are still way too short for me, so the petite bits might be good!

I bought my jeans from Next and Dorothy Perkins.

I am 5'1 and got the shorter length maternity jeans from topshop and also seraphine. Both fine for length (a teeny bit scrumply but nothing you'd notice), but would x1000 recommend the seraphine over topshop as they are not only more comfortable but also my bump was too big for the topshop pairs at 6 months Hmm

I am not carrying multiples, there is no reason for this.

Ooh weird, I literally just googled this! Place marking. 5ft tall here and apparently short women don't get pregnant judging by the lack of choice there is. Sigh...

I have a few pieces from funmum petite range which are now doing a second pregnancy. Am 4'11"

I got stuff from fun mum.

I got ASOS maternity jeans and they are ankle grazers (I'm 5'1") - I only have one pair and they are looking a bit battered but comfy enough. And H&M leggings. I found Seraphine leggings fell down at the crotch and also tried some of their smart work pants which were too long.

I have some asos petite maternity jeans which are great for length. However they only do the petite in under the bump which means they constantly feel like they're falling down now bump is bigger. They're good for early pregnancy though.

I'm going to try the topshop Jamie over the bump petite jeans next as that's what I normally wear so have high hopes.

I just got some asos over the bump leggings though & they're the best thing ever! Even though they're too long in the leg there's not too much bunching. Highly recommend. :)

I'm 5ft1 btw.

Work trousers are what I'm having trouble finding. I'm a bit bored of wearing dresses now. If anyone's found any petite black or navy smart tapered trousers please let me know. :)

Thanks everyone will take a look. There really is limited choice for us shorties! I'm only 9 weeks but the bloating on my tummy is making it difficult to wear my normal jeans.

@tinyradish just had a look on asos and looks like they are doing both over the bump and under in the Ridley jeans x

I got petite maternity leggings from M&S.

CrabbyPatty · 26/12/2018 18:46

My ASOS are over the bump.

TooMinty · 26/12/2018 19:02

New Look do petite maternity clothes. Topshop might do too?

Beautyandthe · 26/12/2018 19:07

Got mine from Topshop maternity range

tinyradish · 26/12/2018 22:23

Oh really Mrs? I wonder why I thoughy they didn't! Maybe just didn't have my size in stock - I'll check again :)
