Where to find Maternity Jeans/Trousers in Petite Sizes?

Can anyone tell me where to find trousers or jeans for people who are smaller than size 8 and short? I'm more interested in finding the right size (rather than the right length) because I can always shorten trousers which are too long.

Thanks for any tips you have?

Not sure what size they go down to but funmum.com (here) do petite sizes as I'm only 5'2, although a 14 rather than an 8

Blooming Marvellous.

Ah, should read properly. Not sure that they do smaller than size 8.

I got mine from Top Shop and hemmed them up (as I'm under 5ft)

Hi, not sure about below size 8 () but Next, JoJo Maman Bebe, Blooming Marvellous, Mothercare all do short lengths. I'm sure at least one of them will do a size 6.

Not looked at TopShop yet, but they may have some petite stuff and generally have small sizes.

I bought maternity jeans and work trousers from next in the petite range, i found the over bump much better fit than under bump. They were a bit long as i'm only 5ft 1 and i bought sizes 8 and 10 but i think they do size 6. You need to buy from their website though as most branches dont do maternity petite in store. HTH x

If i'm honest, NOWHERE apart from Topshop has come CLOSE to fitting me.

H&M Sizes i found to be big, as were next, mothercare,jo jo maman, etc.

I'm a size 6 usually, and was so sick until 18 w that i prob got even smaller than that.

Cannot recommend the topshop maternity jeans enough and they go down to a size 6. Online you can choose different leg lengths, afraid not sure how short they go though, as i'm 5ft 8!! Oh & i'm still wearing my size 6 topshop maternity jeans comfortably and i'm now 31w!!

Oh, and lastly, ASOS.com have JUST brought out a maternity range. i don't think they go below size 6 - but i ordered a lovely size 8 top from there & because its clingy material its really nice!

I am 5' and also struggled to find clothes, but Next do some good jeans etc in petites and short length.

Thank you SO much everyone for taking the time to share your tips. I shall try some of the stores you mentioned.

VERY much appreciate the help.

The funny thing is that although I need clothes smaller than a size 8 sometimes, I'm not really, really tiny or anything. There are lots of people smaller than I am and I can't figure out where on earth they shop?! I know I'm not the only one with this problem. Thanks again.
