maternity shorts aka death to the gap

I bought 2 pairs or maternity shorts in a size 12 and large (I'm usually an 8) and they were both WAAAAAY too tight.  Ugh.  Now I feel like a house. I guess now I'm reading that the gap runs small.

Can anyone recommend their maternity shorts and if you live in the Northeast, are shorts in stores yet?

TIA!

  • Old navy. I normally wear 10s and ordered jeans and khaki shorts in 10 that fit. I also ordered a basic black flowy skirt that I expect to get a lot of use out of.

  • I'm in the northeast and bought a pair at Kohls that I'm happy with...they only had gray, so hoping they stock up more as summer gets closer.
  • Old navy!!!! They are true to size and so comfortable. I'm referring to the denim ones that go to about the knee a little above the knee actually. That have a cuff. I've never been a fan of my thighs so I don't really wear normal shorts haha. But... I pai

  • I bought some shorts at Old Navy but I had to buy a size 8 in one style and a 10 in the other (pre-pg I was a 6 or 8). I've had a few issues in the past when their sizes weren't true to fit but it doesn't happen often enough that I avoid them all together
  • motherhood has cute ones. One of the things I love about their pants/shorts/bottoms is the sizing its just small/med/large. I was roughly a size 10/12 prior to pregnancy and I fit in their size med

  • Thanks everyone!  I guess I'll head over to the ON and MM stores.  How annoying that they're in opposite directions of each other!  LOL.

  • I personally think Motherhoods tend to be a little bit more comfortable. I have maternity shorts from The Gap, ON, and Motherhood...and Motherhoods are most comfortable! I've found them all to run fairly true to size. Of course every now and then a certai

    I tried on a few pairs that were pretty comfy. I was a size 8 prepregnancy and I found the large worked better for me than the medium. The medium fit fine at the waist but was a little too tight on my thighs but I had that problem with short

    I got some from shadeclothing.com and really like the fit. I wear a 4 at express regularly and got a 6 knowing my thighs get huge. I had a fear they would still be small but their website said not to order up a size because they factor growth into their

  • I actually like the ones from the gap! I usually have to go up a size in shorts prepreg, but I didn't have to at gap, weird! ON looked horrible on me!
