I'm looking at maternity pants online and I'm wondering which style is the most comfy in your opinion.

I have a pair of full belly pants that literally made my stomach hurt and made me sick, even though they aren't too tight (they're actually kinda loose). So I probably won't be getting another pair of those..

When I was preggers with DD, she was so low across my hips, that I couldn't find any maternity pants that fit right... the belly ones went clear up under my boobs, and were totally uncomfortable.. So I just bought bigger plus sized elastic waist shorts..

I do the mid belly, once your HUGE they fit comfy if you buy the right size, now being half way and not so big, I just fold the elastic part down to wear it sits on my belly!!

I think the full bellies aren't gonna work for me because I hate having any pressure. The pants went right under my boobs and made me feel like a grandma. I'm not sure that made any sense..

I'm worried about buying a pair of pants without trying them on and then they not be comfy. My mom bought me the pair that I have and I probably won't be able to wear them.. The walmart selection here absolutely sucks and there's no telling when we'll be able to get to Reno.

I was looking at those and the description made me kinda confused, no idea why. How stretchy do they get?

I have the below the belly right now and they are starting to get incredibly uncomfortable. They are good for me until about the 6th month. I don't care for the full panel ones either, but towards the end they are about the only ones that fit without me being more miserable than usual, lol.

Honestly I wouldnt buy any without trying them one. Different styles and even different brands fit totally different! One brand Im a medium another brand Im a small....so you do need to try them on. These are the kind I wear..

They streatch a bit. For me when I get big they sit under my big belly :lol I can't stand anything over my belly so it works for me.


You can't actually see them, but that's the type of pants I'm wearing in this pic of my last pregnancy.

I loved the underbelly ones. I also like the ones that Sarah said that she liked (regular jeans with elastic in back)

I tried the over the belly ones. But I was carrying so long, they didn't actually go over and were really saggy at the bottom. I used the low rise ones. My favorite ones were bought at JC Penneys. THey had the elastic and the string inside so you could tighten them even more if needed.

the only ones I could wear were the full pocket over the belly. the rest of them smooshed my stomach so bad that I was very uncomfortable and felt like I was pushing on the baby way too much. I never could do anything except those full panel kind. They were so awesome and comfy though.

Brandi

here is a pic of the full panel kind... like i said, they were the only thing I could wear b/c my babies rode waaaaaay too low to have that kind of pressure underneath the belly

When I was pregnant I found some pants and shorts at motherhood maternity that had a really wide cloth band and they were so comfy and stretchy, I still wear one pair of khaki shorts that I kept. The full panel annoyed the crap out of me.

In the beginning of my pregnancy, I wore the below the belly, but once I was about 7 months, I HAD to wear the over the belly ones because I lost my hips :giggle so I had nothing to hold the bellow the belly ones up! I tried to wear my shorts as much as possible (bellow the belly) but I always had to pull them up, so it got annoying. When we moved back to SD I bought a pair of full belly jeans and I loooooved them! They were kinda uncomfortable, but what isnt that far along in pregnancy?? But they were really cute, and they ONLY pair of maternity jeans I could find that fit around my waist AND my legs lol (I have stick legs and a huge ole belly when I was pg) so anyway, for me, it wasnt a matter of comfort, it was whatever would fit! or at least stay on!
