Maternity jeans

I've just found out that I am pregnant and am already planning my summer/autumn wardrobe.

I am on the lookout for some nice fitting boyfriend fit jeans, where is the best place to go ?

Plus I am open for any other suggestions for what to wear, have always thought Denise Van Outen dressed well during pregnancy.

Next are really good for mat jeans. I got a boyfriend pair when pregnant. Also New look and H&M do great ranges. Congratulations by the way!

I just got some from next and think that the sizing is too large..soo beware
I'm 30 weeks but needed a size down

Gap have some nice jeans at the moment.

I lived in my Dorothy Perkins over the bump jeans while pregnant.

When I was pregnant no maternity jeans or trousers fitted me They all fit fine on the legs and bum, but the belly bit was always too big, right the way through the pregnancy!

I just wore my normal jeans, but held up with a belt and zip/button undone, wore long tops and was fine

Next maternity jeans are very generously sized. My pre-pregnancy size is 16. I am wearing size 12 Next maternity jeans.

Oh yeah I agree with you regarding next Maternity jeans, I tried on a size 12 they literally fell off of me.

Second Gap jeans.

Someone else on here recommended Citizens of (or is it for??) Humanity jeans - they're pricey, but lovely and am glad I made the investment.

Was in Seraphine this weekend and it seems DVO wore everything they had - there were posters of her all over the place!

Tbh High Street can be a bit rubbish for maternity stuff. H&M are good if you find a branch which stocks it. Zara has a 'for mum' section in some stores. Next isn't the best.
I wasted a fortune on designer maternity jeans (no point) and then finally found some fabulous ones in Gap. Loads of different sizes, lengths, styles. I got some wider leg ones and a really v fine elastic cotton bump band, they are so nice. Try Gap.

Oh ladies ladies ladies
Have been on the lookout and seen a few I quite like, but the stores haven't had them in my size, great!
Will def try Gap
