HI all, I'm about 7-8 weeks with DC2 and I am already busting out of my jeans :-D I'm working from home all the time as well so I have no need to dress smartly, thankfully. Most of my maternity clothes from my first pregnancy will still be too big though so I'm looking for some nice comfy joggers that a) don't look like PJs and b) can actually be worn out the house and look ok, I do still have to occasionally go into the outside world! I also don't want leggings as I really can't pull them off unless I'm wearing something very long over the top.

Does anyone have any recommendations please? Ideally nice and stretchy, comfy, black preferred :-) Thanks

I love Seraphine

However if it’s under the bump you are looking for ( which is I what I preferred for sweatpants ) you could easily go for non maternity. Everyone will be very different but my non maternity joggers and pj bottoms still fit throughout my pregnancy 🤷‍♀️

These are brilliant. Super soft and comfortable. Also handy if you end up with the c section as the waist band can be folded up over your belly. Total favourites.

Thanks for the links! I did think of Thought (lol) and the ones @Easybird has shared are lovely but they only seem to be in stock up to a size S which I don't think I'll fit my bum into :-D

They do have these www.wearethought.com/emerson-tie-waist-bamboo-joggers-black but they look like they're quite short, it says the model is 5'5 and I'm 5'11!

Hush harem pants. I’ve had two pairs for several years now for general lounging and yoga, but they worked perfectly earlier this year late in pregnancy.

I think they do other colours too which may be in bigger sizes. Saying that the harem pants sizing is pretty generous too!

@MariaDingbat, I have the same Dorothy perkins ones and have been wearing them pretty much continuously since 12 weeks (I do wash them obviously), I'm now 31 weeks and they are still going strong. I think they will fit me till baby arrives and should be good afterwards if I have a C-section. My only concern is that they may be a little thin for the winter, but it's not like I'm going out anywhere any time soon!

Great value for money and a great purchase think.

@Pinktruffle That's my plan too! 😀 Best maternity wear buy I've made by far. I've got them in black and navy and I love the fact they have pockets.

Jojomamanbebe ones are wonderful, super soft and comfy and I’m still wearing them in my last tri!

Another vote for Hush Harem pants. They hold their shape (not too ‘Aladdin’ in style!), wash well and are super comfy. Still wearing mine and I’m almost 38 weeks pregnant now. Some of my maternity stuff has started to get uncomfortable these past few weeks so I am grateful for the comfort.

Sweaty Betty Gary joggers look like they’d be comfy, too.
