Pregnant after a Loss

Maternity pants?

Hey ladies! Just a quick question. What size maternity pants would you suggest purchasing? One size up from your regular size or bigger? Where have you purchased yours?

Re: Maternity pants?

  • Get your regular size.  If you are a S/M/L (etc), get that just in maternity.  Some brands go by number size, and it's the same deal with those.  There will be some exceptions, but it's the rule of thumb.  Also, try both full panel and the smaller top and see what you like.  You may like different things at different points in the pregnancy.  Personally, I prefer the smaller top across the board, can't stand the full panel up and over my bump...but it's totally a personal preference.

    As to where: Motherhood Maternity, Target, Old Navy...just a few places.  Old Navy often runs big.  Some people like Pea in the Pod, but I've never shopped there.  I'd also recommend hitting up resale shops in your area.  I saved a TON buying maternity clothes for like 1/3 of the cost there last pg, and will this one too for the things I need to replace.

  • My maternity jeans are from Old Navy and they were the same as my pre pregnancy size. I got the kind with the woven band that goes under the belly, not sure if that effects the size.

  • Mine are from Kohl's and ON and were my pre-pegnancy size.
