I liked J Brand, DL1961, and Paige maternity jeans. They are on the expensive side, however.

old navy worked for me!

Paige. You need to spend money or they’ll sag out and make you look frumpy, sadly. I tried GAP jean shorts, and they made me look horrible.

ask on buy nothing-- i got some paige maternity jeans for free. i legitimately haven't worn jeans since the pandemic began pre or post baby but wore those a few times (i work from home and put on pandemic and then pregnancy weight so living in leggings and dresses)

I loved my Jessica Simpson maternity jeans. They held up over the course of 4 pregnancies. Not sure if she makes them anymore but I got a pair of poshmark. Try poshmark for the madewell jeans too!

Definitely don't buy target - they were awful.

J brand. I got them as a gift and out of all the brands I tried, they were the only ones that looked and felt good. I would rather have one quality pair than 3 cheap pairs that I hate.

I will admit the Madewell ones are my favorite (and I invested in one pair since I was pregnant in the winter), but I also got a few pairs of the 1822 brand from Nordstrom (about $60 a pair) and they were nearly as good. I really liked the 1822 with the side panels vs. the over belly panel (I wore those as I was shrinking back down post pregnancy as well).

+1 to madewell. Size down the run large

These have been a winner for me: https://www.nordstrom.com/s/1822-denim-better-butter-slim-straight-leg-maternity-jeans-frida/7280227

Soft and don't fall off. I tried and disliked Old Navy and Target Jeans.

Target has a maternity dept.

They all sag to an extent. Are you really only going to wear them 2 months? With my last I wore them through the whole pregnancy and then a few months postpartum too. I splurged on the expensive ones from hatch and wear them several times a week to work starting around month 3-4 so it felt worth it to me.

There’s a reason the good jeans cost $170. Look on Poshmark.

2 weeks postpartum here. I had two pairs of Abercrombie jeans during this pregnancy. They did sag a bit, but they were my go-tos until the very end.

I also have a pair of Madewell jeans and did find that they stayed up better. I got them on sale and definitely did not pay $170 for them.

That said, it’s getting warm outside - do you really need jeans? Can you just wear dresses?

Does old navy still make the rockstar in maternity? I never shop at ON generally but I lived in those jeans through all my pregnancies.

I am desperately trying to find some maternity jeans that actually stay up and don't start to look baggy as soon as I stand up and start walking. So far I've tried all the below and they all go baggy immediately.

I've tried getting different sizes and still no luck. I've seen madewell recommended, but I really don't want to pay $170 for a pair of jeans I am probably only going to wear for 2 months.

I looked at Jcrew and Jcrew factory. Regular jcrew had no maternity jeans and jcrew factory didn't have my size and was final sale so I couldn't buy any to try and see if maybe they fit. I heard Abercrombie maternity jeans could be good, but was curious if anyone had actually worn them and had an opinion on them? Any other stores I should look at? Old Navy?

I'll suck it up and buy the madewell if they really are that amazing because I need a pair of jeans, but I would really prefer to pay under $100. Honestly I'd prefer under $50, but I don't think that is going to happen.
