Maternity skinny jeans/jeggings that are over bump.

My current maternity jeggings have a thin elastic waistband and are cutting into my enormous bump terribly. They still fit my bum and thighs.

I've been hunting for another pair that are over the bump - as in a lovely big stretchy panel that goes right over it. But while I can find plenty if bootcut jeans like that, all the skinny jeans and jeggings are under the bump.

Anyone know where I can get some? I'm on a dorothy perkins/new look kind of budget, rather than an Isabella Oliver budget Smile

Hi kicking , I'm nearly at the end of my 2nd pregnancy and I have never found over the bump jeans/jeggings that stay up.

I have been wearing non maternity leggings and warehouse denim jeggings they were £35 but I got them half price due to code on here, with bump bands which help support and keep belly warm.

I do have some red herring mat leggings but they fall down. I think nothing seems to make up for the lack of waist! Unless its my weird body as I have maternity topshop baxters and they fall down and people rave about them!

I would rather I had to keep hooking them up than the band cutting into my tummy - it's painful!

I have ten weeks to go so would really like to find a pair, but I am measuring very big, yet have put on no weight anywhere else. I think I have a strange body shape!

I am living in a pair from H and M. I'm 33 weeks and have long since given up on under bump styles, they're just never going to stay up. Most of the H and M trousers and jeans are overbump I think.

Another vote for H&M skinny jeans. I have been wearing them since 25ish weeks and am currently 37. Big bump with twins, but still comfy and they actually stay on!!!

I got a great pair from mothercare. They are called reform jeans - you can remove the bump band afterwards and wear as normal jeans. They are currently on offer at £45.

Thanks, I have seen the H&M ones on their website and they look good! Will probably get some next week.
