maternity jeans

Has anyone tried something like these?  How long can you wear this style of pant?

I have 1 pair of jeans that fits really well - it has a 3" or so band on the top.  With Andrew I wore them from about 20-24 weeks when I went to the hospital.  

Will I need the full band support later on?  And if so, at what time? (Is it worth buying a pair of the kind above at this point?)  

Also, I saw the roll panels at Old Navy - how are those?

any other suggestions?

    I wore the first style with Aidan's pregnancy. Now I need the full panel ones because anything "'digging" into my lower stomach hurts so bad and if I put the band under my belly I look fluffy instead of pregnant. lol

    I wore the first kind for my entire pregnancy.  I loved them because they never rode down and fit more like regular pants do on your hips.  I just wore them under my belly.  I had three pair of pants that fit like this.  I never had the kind that you wear over your belly.  I would definitely recommend trying these out!

    I wore the first kind my entire pregnancy too. (though I admit I never got very big - both kids were 5lb-ers) The full panel type never fit on me.

    I got tanks that were long to make sure my belly stayed covered. And I was happy to find that the low pants fit well PP too. (mine had adjustable tabs inside)

    Everyone's different, of course, but I could not wear that first kind in my 3rd tri.

    I hated the roll panels because the fabric would get bunchy or roll down when I didn't want it to. Plus, it was warm weather for me later in my 3rd tri and I would get SO hot.

    My hands-down fave were these, from early 2nd tri all the way through the end. I got them with a 40% off coupon but honestly, I think they were worth full price,

    For some reason, I only like full panel maternity jeans.  I prefer the demi panel for work pants.  Weird, huh?

    I cannot do the under belly ones because they feel like they're riding so low my ass is hanging out.  I don't think I'd care for the roll panel because of bunching up.

    The ones I have sort of look like that - about a 3-4" stretchy band but not a full belly band.

    Thanks everyone!

    I think it depends on the person and the fit.

    I wore the full panel and the demi throughout my pregnancy. Shortly before I delivered I wore a pair of the low raise ones (from Gap) too. The only problem was that by the end of the day, it felt like my butt was hanging out when I leaned over as someone mentioned above. I liked the low rise in terms of comfort, but I didn't wear them often because they were annoying once they stretched out.
