Under bump or overbump trousers/jeans?

I have now reached the point where i am going to need them very soon as only one pair of jeans and one pair of work trousers fit me. Luckily enough i can get away with wearing my partner's black work trousers for now untill i get round to buying some maternity ones but his jeans fall off me and he doesn't really have enough for me to borrow a couple of pairs for a couple of months.

Thankfully the work trousers i have that still fit me will do me untill the end as they sit under the bump. I can not for the life of me remember where i got them from though. Sounds about right for me atm.

I prefered the over the bump maternity jeans when i was pregnant with my first and second pregnancy I got them from next. They were so comfy. With my third i wore my normal jeans all the way through it was great!

Almost 30 weeks isn't so bad for wearing my normal jeans :) The pair of jeans i do have that still fit me are a size bigger than my pre pregnancy size and they're a wee bit loose still but only a wee bit.

I wore the 'under-bump' style for my first with no probs, but found the same pairs irritated my scar quite badly for #2. Got to admit I didn't think much of the over-bump style (I was HUGE) but at least I didn't look too beached-whaley.

I preferred over the bump jeans and trousers - but before I got to the stage of wearing maternity clothes I used a hair band to tie the tops of my jeans together (through loop and then hook over button) - got at least another few weeks out of normal clothes with long tops to cover the obvious!

I preferred over the bump-tend to pull at the under the bump ones for fear of them falling down :eek: but I have to admit I was a saddo who loved to wear dungarees :eek: I just loved them!x

Over bump was my prefered chioce when I was huge as they gave my bump a bit of support and didnt leave me with a gap between my trousers and tops and leave me with a cold belly!
But I liked my underbump trousers before I looked too huge as the overbump trousers would fold down!
Had a few pairs of on the bump trousers as well which just annoyed me as they would fold down whatever!

I simply took out my old two-man tent, cut out a pair of eye-holes and then draped the tent over my head.

Didn't need any pegs, either.

I wore those really stretchy ones with elasticated waists that would go anywhere I pushed them. Oh and dungarees too.

with 1st i wore the leggings supplied by work they were so stretchy my normal size did through my whole pregnancy.
2nd & 3rd leggings were better as can use them after as well, or over bump trousers/jeans
but these days u have more styles available so you could try any thing available - try ebay if you'r unsure of what u prefer less money outlay that way.

Overbump - underbump ones fall down too easily.

I've found that with my work trousers which aren't actually maternity trousers at all. I'm constantly pulling them up. I've got fed up with it so have started to wear a belt. Which is fine standing up but sitting down my belt ca dig in sometimes. :eek:
