Maternity Clothes...Oh How I Love The...NOT!

Ok, so I thought I would just take maternity jeans to Branson this weekend thinking they would be the most comfortable and I would have the 'ok' from Kraig. :-) Well, lets just say that every 5 seconds I was pulling my pants up! They are all old from when I was prego with Lauren so not sure if that's why or if I just don't remember having to pull them up every 5 seconds...but either way, I'm thinking the only jeans that will not fall down and look saggy are the jeans that have the full belly on them so that they have more 'grip'. Does anyone know of ANY maternity jeans that do not fall down when you sit/bend over, etc? If so please share the brand/type, etc! We are going to the beach in 3 wks and I need to get two things...#1 - jeans for going out to dinner and #2 a GOOD maternity swim suit. I have a tankini that I took with me this weekend, however it also failed me...I'm sure the 8 year old kids at the pool really enjoyed everything they saw! LOL So this weekend was a great 'pre-vacation' learning trip for me because I have learned that I need new maternity clothes so I don't look like a hobo and so that I will be comfortable walking/swimming, etc. So if anyone knows of a great place to buy maternity swim wear and pants please share the news. Thanks!

I bought a pair of Citizen maternity jeans and I loved them. A little more than I'd like to pay for jeans that you're only wearing a few months, but to me it was worth it to have at least one really good pair that fit well. As for swimming suits, I never got a maternity suit. I just wore a regular bikini and let my tummy hang out! Of course, I didn't do a whole lot of swimming last summer so I didn't really need one. Good luck! And you look great with baby #2 by the way!

Yes I think I may just have to buy a new swimsuit to support the girls...and just buy a regular bikini. I just need something with support...like I said the young boy at the pool probably got to see more than his parents wanted at that stage! LOL I'll look into the higher prices maternity jeans as well and the Bella Bands (thanks Nici).

I got two at Target the other day. I wear my jeans with the Bella Band.
