Topshop maternity jeans

Has anyone tried these? I have a pair from Seraphine (skinnies) but they are a seraphine zero and still will not stay up. They might work later on in pregnancy but not at the moment, as I am now 22 weeks I do need something to wear now! Argh. My goal this pregnancy was a really lovely pair of maternity jeans. Grrrr.

I had the same problem with my Topshop maternity jeans, they just wouldn't stay up though strangely they stay up perfectly now I'm not pregnant anymore (there the only ones that don't rub my section scar)
Have you tried tightening them up using the elastic on the insides? I only discovered that after wearing them for a couple of weeks that helps, and failing that I used to wear a pair of mens braces with mine, which kept them up a treat. HTH

my Topshop jeans were great and didn't fall down - saw me through pregnancies 2 & 3 with no probs (mind you, I never want to see them again, now ). J Brand are good too - depends on how much you want to spend. Mama la Mode do them and I think they are an MN discount partner? I had the Love story ones

I had two pairs from Top Shop. One of them had the ribbed elastic waistband bit all the way round and they didn't stay up well. The other pair just had a little ribbed stretchy bit on each hip and they stayed up fine, fitted well and lasted through my second pregnancy - and two more pregnancies when friends borrowed them afterwards.

So I'd recommend the partially but not the fully elasticated ones if that helps!

I will give them a try, then!

LTEC, I love the JBrand ones but they are very expensive - had I not already bought the Seraphine ones I might have been tempted. Sigh. I just replied to you re skinny jeans on another thread!

thanks for the skinnies input roary and congrats on your pregnancy btw!!

definitely get the TS ones with just the elasticated pocket inserts - they're the difference btwn under-bump and under-bum....
