Hi all struggling to get maternity trousers / jeans suitable. I’m 5ft 3 if I size up in general pull on trousers / joggers they’re just massive and a lot of maternity trousers and jeans are v long. Anyone found any really good options? I’m usually size 10-12

I'm a similar size to you and just lived in leggings / one amazing stretchy pair of shorts with longer tops than usual, or tunics. Personally I didn't like jeans/trousers which covered my bump; the waistband always sat under it.

I'm only 5ft. I just took the trousers up. I have to do that with practically all my trousers anyway.

Lovall for shorter-length maternity leggings, I also had some jeans from Next that were supposed to be cropped ankle length on a taller person but worked for me.
But ended up mainly wearing dresses with maternity tights.

Thanks everyone. Suppose lucky it’s coming into autumn dresses and tights / leggings and knits can work well. I’ll maybe just not bother with jeans.

I’ve basically lived in these https://vuoriclothing.com/products/womens-halo-easy-wideleg-pant-short-solid-black in the short length. I’m a similar size to you, normally take medium, went up to large for third trimester. Because they’re wide leg anyway it didn’t look weird that they are loose in places.
