Hey Tall Pregnant Ladies where did you get your maternity jeans

I'm about 5'9'' and before becoming pregnant was a 10/12 depending on the brand and style of jeans.  I've had a hard time finding maternity jeans that fit right.  I've purchased a pair of Motherhood brand, but the crotch seems so low and now that I've worn them once, they stretched too much (I'm sure I'll fill them out eventually).  I looked at the maternity section of Macy's at Southdale mall and found some cute ones, but they were either too short or too small.  I guess no one over a size 10 gets to buy cute maternity jeans because most the companies (Mimi, Buffalo) make anything bigger than a Large.  I carry my weight in my hips and legs, which makes it even hard.  Any suggestions of stores or online sites?

    I'm having the same problem!!  I was just at Motherhood Maternity and all their pants are too short for me.  One lady told me to look online at the Gap Maternity - so I did - but they are really expensive (they do have maternity pants in Tall).  I'm going to try my luck at Old Navy (online and in store) and see what I can find.  I'm currently wearing low rise Candies kahki's and they are doing the job for now but it's only a matter of time before they don't work anymore.  I'll let you know if I find anything at the in store Old Navy.  :)

    Thanks...that would be great.  I tried to look at the Old Navy in Edina where I work, but they did not have a maternity section.  I'm sure the Mall of America would.

     I checked out Gap and they actually had sizes over a 10, but they do not carry Longs in the store anymore, or so they told me.  So I tried some on for general fit and just ordered a couple pair online.  Hopefully that'll work.  You can return online purchases to the store at both Gap and Old Navy I believe so if something doesn't work, all you're out is the shipping, which for me was $7.00 on two pairs of jeans.

    I actually found mine at Target! Granted, this was about 2 years ago, but their jeans fit better than anyone else (I'm also 5'9").

    I just got a pair of Gap Maternity Long and Lean and I love them!  I actually got them off ebay for $14. :)  I'm 5'8" and they fit perfectly - are actually a bit longer than I normally wear, but that's alright with me.

    I went to the Gap Maternity in the Mall of America this past weekend and they were having a great sale!  I got a pair of kahki's for $8.23!!!  Old Navy in the MOA also had some pants that were long enough for me for under $20 a piece.  I got two sweaters, three shirts and two pairs of pants for under $85!!

    I bought my first pair at Gap... then got smarter about the price.

     I just bought a pair from Babies r us ($25) and I love them.

    I'm 5'10. Gap long and leans are my favorite - but the demi panel got really tight around 34ish weeks. I also got a pair of these with the full panel and like them a lot https://www.oldnavy.com/browse/product.do?cid=5854&pid=595248&scid=595248002

    I'm 6' and am happies with my Motherhood Maternity jeans in long. I was wearing longs from Pea in the Pod, but they are more expensive. Old Navy & Gap are other options. Good luck!
