Please please please, there must be some maternity jeans out there somewhere that actually stay up and are comfortable

I'm desperate for some jeans, I've tried virtually every pair from Next, an (expensive) pair from Crave (£56 and a right waste of money, wore them today and got unbelievably stressed at having to hike them up literally every minute), a pair from Formes from 1st pregnancy, inbetween sizes at M&S and H&M, no luck in Topshop/Dorothy Ps. SOMEWHERE MUST DO SOME!!

Also, they need to be long (I'm 5ft9) and go up to size 16.

Otherwise I will have to buy braces...

I had terrible trouble finding trousers as I am so tall too (leximum- how rubbish is the selection for taller women- do they think we dont get preg!!). I ended up getting this skirt and it is soooo cumfy! Have worn it all the time with some really nice, thick 'fashion maternity tights' from M&S so you dont have to be too fanatical aobut shaving your legs and they dont look so bad if they are swollen!

Skirts are def the way forward. I would not normally wear skirts when not preg but find them so much better when so swollen.

I haven't read the other answers so apologies if some one has already said this.

I bought a great pair of jeans from Blooming Marvellous which had a full waistband which suited me from about 14 weeks up to about 35wks, at which point they started sagging and showing tummy. The closest ones they have in the current catalogue look to be the dark wash stretch jeans and they come in a long size as well.

I have Gap maternity jeans (ebay) but am now 35 weeks and they are starting to pinch a bit. Have Formes cords in similar style but the bump is pushing them down now.

I have a pair from DottyP which are like normal ones just huge round waist. They don't stay up, unless I wear a belt. Then they are fine. Could you do that. I also had the ones last time with the elasiticated bit which fell down.
