Maternity jeans - please help me!!

I currently have one pair of maternity jeans (a skinny pair from Lidl) which has worked okay up until now as I only wear them at the weekend but I was off last week and realised one pair just isn't enough for me!

I don't have anywhere nearby which stocks maternity so hoping to find something suitable to avoid buying and returning loads.

Requirements are:
Bootcut or flare type shape
Over the bump
Available in longer leg length
Preferably stretchy
Not fussed about colour as long as they're not black
Preferably no more than £35

My normal go-to for jeans would be Next but I've bought about 5 different pairs from there and returned them all for various different reasons (too tight, way too small, no stretch in the waistband so impossible to pull up, no stretch around the top of the bump band so too difficult to pull up....) but I'm now at a loss as to where else to try. Please help!!

I'm a big fan of the Topshop maternity ones!

Have a look at GAP, they always have something on sale plus some more discounts. I bought a pair from them at less than £20 and live them.

I have some from jojo maman bebe which are lovely and cost exactly £35, but they are a slim cut not boot cut. I also found some nice second hand H&M ones on Ebay which is great because it's cheaper and more sustainable than buying loads of new clothes.

Debenhams have some nice ones from a few different brand like red herring etc. Reduced down to £15/20 and have lasted well, also have one pair from H and M but I did have to try about 5 different pairs on in various sizes to fine ones that fit nicely.

Thanks for all the suggestions Smile

I've ordered a couple of pairs from Gap and if they don't work will try the JoJo ones in bootcut but hoping I don't have to since they're about twice the price.

Topshop don't have a single pair of bootcut maternity jeans and Debenhams have one pair by Dorothy Perkins but they don't do longer length and Dorothy Perkins jeans have always been too short for me in the past Sad Also reluctant to order from H&M as I've always found their sizing very hit or miss and I don't want to have to order loads of different sizes and send them all back. Have bought quite a few pairs from eBay already but none fit properly and of course I can't just return them so really reluctant to buy any more from there.

I liked H&M ones. I got the skinnies. I got 2 pairs of jeans and 1 pair of denim shorts. All over the bump. I think the jeans were about £25 each. This is my first so I figured I would keep them after the birth for future pregnancy. Was good until about 30 weeks or something, then I’ve just lived in skinny fit joggers as I hate the compression on my bulging stomach lol.

I always loved the jojo Maman Bebe ones, I think they're about £30, come in bootcut, over bump, and about 3 different colours.

I now live abroad and am pregnant again and can't find ANY nice maternity jeans so think I'm going to have to get my mum to go and send some over to me! Currently I'm wearing stretchy waist stuff, or doing the whole hair-bobble-as-an-extender thing, but bump is definitely starting to show so I'm going to have to sort it soon!

Oops x post sorry!

Try ASOS too. I got all my tall maternity jeans from there.
