This is my 3rd and last pregnancy and for my last 2 I wore sweat pants most days, I hated (and still do) buying maternity jeans bc the butt and crotch area area all are way to big. Since this is my last pregnancy I want to go out in style and actually dress nice, and for the first time I have the funds to do so.

 I've tried Old Navy jeans, but they are too big and just fall down. I can't think of anything else

    Trying wearing normal jeans but buy a Bella Band. You keep your jeans unbuttoned and unzipped and you put this band on that keeps you pants up and just looks like a tank top underneath a shirt (:

    Maxi dresses and leggings can't be beat.  I wore them through my entire pregnancy last time since I didn't want to buy "work clothes" that were maternity.  That way you can still wear your size in "normal" clothes that just happen to also work for maternity!  Old Navy has some great maxi dresses (not their maternity, their normal clothes).  I've also had good luck at Target.

    If your concern is fit and you don't mind spending some cash to go out in style, try some designer maternity jeans (e.g. Paige, Joe's, Seven's, etc.). Ocassionally you can get these for less on Gilt or similar sites.

    I recently bought a pair of maternity jeggings and they are actually okay (from ON).  Mine are a little big in the butt, but I might take my sewing machine to them.  I have no butt, so if you are over 100lbs, you'll be able to wear them.  The reviews say they run super small, but just buy your regular size and they'll fit.  I bought a size 1 and normally wear a 0 or 00. 

    But in general, I live in leggings and dresses when pregnant.  F21 is a great place ot get empire waisted tops and dresses.  I bought a few maternity dresses from the gap 2 years ago but this year their dresses seem so big.

    I second F21. I just sized up in a few shirts. I also had good luck with the Liz Lange maternity shirts at Target. I went with an xs size. The pants were always too big. I did find pants at motherhood and sears maternity section. They carry small sizes. I didn't have a problem with sagging but then again, my butt always grows a lot while I'm pregnant.

    If you've got the funds, go to Pea in a Pod and try on the designer denim -- Joe's are my favorite. But for maternity jeans, I have a pair of Citizens I adored and otherwise lived in Gap maternity jeans.
