Best maternity jeans?

[Folly1234]

Where should I shop for maternity jeans?
I have tried a pair from River Island but have sent them back. Any other suggestions?

Honestly, my best ones were h&m mama ones from Ebay. Buying them for about £4.50 meant I could try a few pairs in different styles, then when I found one I liked, I bought a second pair if the same (luckily I found the same ones again on Ebay, but I'd have bought them new if I hadn't found any secondhand).

For jeans you'll wear for a few months, I really wouldn't shell out on new maternity clothes. They're still in such good condition on Ebay often, as others have only worn them for a few months, that I preferred to save my money for all the other expenses (or treats for when you need a boost towards the end!).

Maternity jeans are basically formal wear, especially at the moment!

H&M mama were great but I lived in maternity leggings

H&M maternity jeans are lovely. I always opted for the ones that come up over your bump.

Thanks for your replies. I totally agree jeans are formal at the moment haha. I just seem to live in leggings at the moment during lockdown and I feel like a scruff most of the time which is impacting my mood a bit. so I'm looking for some jeans to just feel a bit 'dressed up' and more like me.

I'll deffo give H&M a look as lots of recommendations for there so far!

I know they are expensive but I LOVE my seraphine maternity jeans. They are so much more comfy and stretchy over my bump than other jeans and they are actually long enough (I'm 5ft9). They're just really nice quality and comfy - expect I'll be able to sell them after to get some of the money back. Sometimes I just want to feel like a normal human and jeans do that for me better than leggings. For reference I am a pear shaped size 14-16 with quite fat knees (bane of my life - skinny jeans often won't go over my knees!) and usually find Oasis jade/cherry fit well if that helps you judge whether you are similar or not!

Loveleggings jeggings in tall length for me. I tried on lots and these are the only over bump ones that feel jeans-like but still soft enough at the base of the over bump bit if that makes sense. They actually fit at my crotch too

I brought a pair of under bump Topshop Jamie ones on eBay for about £8 which I’ve been quite impressed with. I’m only 10+5 and am a size 10/12 but usually wear high waisted jeans and they were becoming hugely uncomfortable due to bloating.

I don’t think these will last my whole pregnancy though as I think a big bump might push them down. Could be wrong though!

I found the river island ones comfy but the crotch ends up between my thighs after 2 mins of walking haha had to send them back as they looked saggy round the bum. I'm only 9+2 but I can't fit into my normal jeans already! I'm sure I'm already showing a bump.
