I have 2 pairs of maternity jeans from topshop but both keep falling down
Pls recommend your best maternity jeans (but they must be under the bump)

I tried lots of different under bump jeans, they all fell down!! The only ones that seemed to work were the ones with the stretchy panel which goes over your bump.

I agree with katyjo. What you really need is dungies. I lived in dungies when pg.

I bought H&M maternity jeans off ebay. They have a stretchy panel which goes over the bump and they fall down terribly - I end up with all the stretchy panel showing and the crotch down around my knees - delightful. Funnily enough the girl who sold them said they were the most comfortable things she had during her pregnancy (her other stuff was great so I have no reason to doubt that). I think you have to try them on - it's horses for courses.

They all fall down. I found the addition of a silk-type scarf used as a belt helped as did the "boob tube" things from Top Shop which acted as a separate over the bump elastic panel IYSWIM

God, yes, they are almost all appalling. The only two pairs of trousers I've been able to stand are a pair of black ones from Topshop that also have a tie belt, and a pair from Blooming Marvellous, which have the fiercest elastic top I have ever met (and frankly, at 38 weeks, it's getting a bit uncomfortable, but hey).

But agree, what works for me might not for you, I got theBM ones by going into the shop, trying on pairs, and walking up and down the shop in them for 10 minutes until I trusted them!

The scarf idea sounds good

They all fall down. I used a pair of fil's braces or (strange but true) one of those luggage straps you fasten around suitcases. It had dh's name stitched all way round but it worked.

The only Mat jeans that I've found that don't fall down are from Blooming Marvellous - (but they are on the bump ones)

I had some Earl Jeans jeans. They didn't fall down but they only fitted me till I was 6 months pregnant.
