Maternity Jeans for Stylish Comfort

Jeans are a true wardrobe staple for most women, so when expecting mothers find a growing baby bump gets in the way of fastening their favorite jeans, there’s only one logical answer: maternity jeans! These jeans are specially designed with momma in mind, and one pair can be worn through the entire pregnancy, thanks to their stretch. That’s right; you can have a new favorite pair of jeans to wear, even through pregnancy! Here are some we recommend.

Purchasing Maternity Jeans

Since these jeans are about to become your new favorite, it’s important to make sure you purchase some that are right for you! Personal preference outweighs almost everything, but here a few key things to consider:

• Size: Making sure you buy the right size in maternity clothes (and anything, really) is very important. Clothes that are too tight will make you feel incredibly uncomfortable. Too loose, and they might awkwardly rub against your belly (or other parts) and cause discomfort as well. You can buy the same size maternity jean as you did pre-pregnancy, but make sure you carefully check size charts, as they can vary by brand or designer.
• Stretch: You’re buying these to be comfortable, so make sure they offer plenty of stretch for your belly to continue growing!
• Material: Some denim will have elastane or spandex for added comfort and stretch.
• Style: Just as you did pre-pregnancy, there will be plenty of different styles to choose from. Pick one that makes you feel good!
• Belly Band: Most maternity jeans will have a band that either stretches up over your belly or rests beneath your belly. For more coverage, opt for an over-belly band.
