And after sucking it in, squirming at work being uncomfortable, walking around with my pants unbuttoned...
I can breathe a sigh of relief! I'm in love!
I'm only 11 weeks but my bloat baby has outgrown my regular pants and I was tired of wearing yoga pants out on date nights because it was all I could stand.
Got comfy work pants too.
I also kind of dont want to ever buy regular jeans again.

Here, here! I *may* have continued to wear my mat jeans loooong after I fit into my old ones again... Elastic waists without the bunching/slipping are where it's at!

They are amazing, but 9 months later you'll be dying to get back into your regular pants

Agreed! At eleven weeks my butt has shrunk and my bloat belly is impressive. Maternity gear is so comfy.

hahaha! I LOVED my maternity jeans. They were so comfy. I'm still wearing them 2 weeks postpartum because they're comfy and easy to slip on and off. Plus, I'm scared to try on my regular jeans in fear they don't fit just yet.

@Danizaur: I just bought my first pair today after a week of the hair-tie-button-trick, and you are SO right! I was in Heaven in the fitting room. Such a good purchase

@indi: We were the only people in the store (awkward) and the sales lady hollered at me through the dressing room and said "Is everything okay?"
I was like, "OH YEAH. Everything is great!"
"We get that a lot!"

I love my maternity pants. Seriously...I'm going to have a hard time ditching the maternity jeans (and dress pants) post-partum. I may just hang on to them for awhile, for my 'fat' days, haha.

This is an efficient way to make pants. The whole button/zipper thing seems kind of inferior now.

I still fit into my regular jeans, but I bought maternity jeans on Thursday since I know I will need them soonish.
On Friday afternoon, I was working from home and on a relatively important conference call. My husband was also working from home -- it's rare that we are both WFH at the same time -- and he put on my new jeans and pranced around in front of me during my call. He has a small beer belly and he pulled them up over his t-shirt. It was hilarious. He says he wants to use them when I am finished with them.

I think I might be the only person who hated maternity pants. I couldn't wait until my pants had zippers and buttons again!

At 31 weeks, I miss my regular jeans. But I don't have maternity jeans, so I may not know what I'm missing. I 
my maternity yoga pants though. I'm going to hand on to them long after I give birth.

@redsmarties: oh I totally love mine too. I plan on wearing them for awhile, they are so comfy. I also have a couple pairs of mat pants that got to small for me around 7 months so I'm hoping after I give birth they will fit again!

When I tried them on they seem acceptable, though I can see the panel getting old after awhile. I am SO grateful that I will only need to wear them in the fall and winter though. I am very sensitive to heat, and I would not be able to handle that much extra fabric during the nasty NYC summer weather.

When I put them on, I thought "maternity pants, where have you been all my life?"

I love my maternity pants! The yoga pants are the best. I dislike the full panel though. It keeps rolling down into my fat roll & won't stay up! Curse my short body with the long torsos!

I am still rocking my maternity pants at 3 months pp. Not ashamed. They are the most comfortable pants I've ever owned!

Ha, I'm going maternity clothes shopping next week at 21 weeks...you just got me really excited to make the transition!
@ElbieKay: agreed! I really haven't worn pants since June...but my summer wardrobe that is work appropriate is a bit limited at the moment (most of my skirts zip really high, not happening right now!), so I'm looking forward to cooler weather and fall clothes!

Maternity pants are the best thing ever ... I kind of want to keep wearing them forever!

Haha just tried some on yesterday- trying to get some maternity clothes while they are on sale. I've never had a pair of capris or shorts that are so comfy! Who would ever want to go back to regular pants!? Lol

I loved my maternity pants. I miiiight still wear them... They make my belly feel more secure to be covered up

I've been wearing my underbelly maternity shorts (which admittedly aren't THAT comfortable but better then the be-band) but today is my first day in full panel skinny jeans and I LOVE them! I feel like I'm wearing Pajama Jeans haha.
I folded down the panel and it helps me stay a little cooler
