Or they fit the legs but not the waist, I just don't get it! I love over the bump leggings, particularly Asos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-pants-for-twin-pregnancy#post-2415460 Sun, 10 Jan 2016 06:25:31 +0000 meadow 2415460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you everyone!!!! This is all such helpful advice ☺</p> <p>Looks like I'm safe to add full panel pants unless I'm one of the people who doesn't like them anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-pants-for-twin-pregnancy#post-2414973 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 15:29:53 +0000 meganmp 2414973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was induced at 38w3d and LOVED the full panel. I never (even early on) felt like the demi panel would stay up. I felt gigantic- 54 week fundal measurement at 34 weeks. Full never got too tight at all.</p> <p>ETA- my babies weren't that small, either- DS was 7lbs 11ozs, DD was 5lbs 3ozs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-pants-for-twin-pregnancy#post-2414944 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 14:47:54 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2414944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have twins and didn't feel like I got that big and I still definitely preferred full panel! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-pants-for-twin-pregnancy#post-2414941 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 14:46:49 +0000 DesertDreams88 2414941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not having twins but I've gotten about 20+ comments/questions if I'm having twins so let's be honest, I'm huge. For my 2nd trimester I preferred full panel for the support. For my 3rd trimester, the full panel is too tight - I'm limited to one pair of demi-panel pants and then strictly dresses/leggings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-pants-for-twin-pregnancy#post-2414927 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 14:22:30 +0000 Caly 2414927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally hated full panel and felt claustrophobic in them. I only wore demi panel pants. I did get huge (made it to 36 weeks and was a beached whale between the swelling and I swear my stomach had its own zip code) and towards the end I only had one pair of jeans that fit. I wore those and dresses/skirts and yoga/sleep pants that fit under my stomach. I was on modified bed rest the last two or so weeks so at that point, getting dressed in normal people clothes wasn't really an issue unless I was going to a dr's office, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-pants-for-twin-pregnancy#post-2414925 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 14:15:36 +0000 LBee 2414925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Similar to the above post, I had a friend pregnant at the same time and she did full panel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-pants-for-twin-pregnancy#post-2414919 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 14:07:22 +0000 BabyMats 2414919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Full panel. I only made it to 30 weeks but I was measuring pretty huge but still the full panel had plenty of room to grow and was so much more comfortable in my opinion </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-pants-for-twin-pregnancy#post-2414883 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 12:27:11 +0000 twodoghouse 2414883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I preferred full panel. I was due in May, so didn't have to go through the summer or anything. I also wore a lot of maternity dresses with leggings. They seemed to have more room than shirts &amp; pants. I went on bedrest (at home) at 32 weeks, so stopped wearing "real" clothes then. At that point I just wore tshirts, pj pants, maternity yoga pants, etc. I didn't get huge, although I went to 38 weeks. My babies ended up small and their position just never made my bump huge. My sister (also a twin mom), is tiny, stick thin, and her bump stuck out really far. You just never know how you will end up carrying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-pants-for-twin-pregnancy#post-2414877 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 12:18:09 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2414877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have twins but my friend who was pregnant at the same time did and we both liked full panel for the whole time. I was much bigger than she was for what it's worth so you won't necessarily be that big. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-pants-for-twin-pregnancy#post-2414867 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 11:49:12 +0000 meadow 2414867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am very lucky in that I was handed-down my friend's wardrobe. I have sorted through and started thinking of things I'd like to add to the mix. Right now demi panel fits best for me (at 16 weeks). Before I spend money I want to think of what makes the most sense in the long term. </p> <p>Twin moms - did you wear more full panel or demi panel (because your tummy was too big??) as you moved toward the end of the 2nd trimester/into third trimester.</p> <p>I've read that it is likely I will be one size early on and another size later on - so I may need to re-buy....but I'm just hoping to spend money as wisely as I can :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/altering-panel-on-maternity-jeans#post-2268032 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 09:24:51 +0000 erinbaderin 2268032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never wore the full panel over my belly, I found it really annoying. I folded it down for the whole 9 months, so that's what I would do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/altering-panel-on-maternity-jeans#post-2267919 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 08:29:59 +0000 Alivoo01 2267919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just roll it down for now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/altering-panel-on-maternity-jeans#post-2267862 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 07:38:05 +0000 Matcha Latte 2267862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I finally found a pair of maternity jeans that fit perfect! the jean part is so comfy and stretchy too. However the top of full panel part of the jeans does not have enough give where it hits below my chest. I can foresee them being too tight as my pregnancy progresses. I was thinking maybe I could just cut that part off? Or would it ruin the rest of the panels ability to stay up? I most likely will just tuck the panel under my belly anyways when it get bigger as they always make me itch...but since I will be pregnant through the winter maybe I will want to use the panel to keep my belly warm? do you think this will cause any issues with the fit? Would an alterations place maybe do this for me? </p> <p>I don't really want to spend 80 dollars on a pair of jeans that I end up not being able to wear because I ruined them by removing the top part of the panel... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gap-maternity-jeans-panel-types#post-1896179 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 01:17:29 +0000 autumnlove 1896179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Full panel! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gap-maternity-jeans-panel-types#post-1896171 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 00:32:51 +0000 shopaholic 1896171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved the Demi panel throughout pregnancy and not the full panel until the last month or two (maybe). I didn't like having to constantly pull up the full panel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gap-maternity-jeans-panel-types#post-1896160 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 23:35:03 +0000 sunny 1896160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was not a fan of my gap maternity jeans! I got the full panel and it was sooooo itchy! The jeans would sag and get loose after just a few hours too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gap-maternity-jeans-panel-types#post-1895979 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 20:02:26 +0000 looch 1895979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had both a demi panel and an ultimate panel pair. I wore the ultimate panel pair a lot more because they were dark blue, where the demis were white. I actually liked the demi panel post partum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gap-maternity-jeans-panel-types#post-1895978 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 20:01:00 +0000 meredithNYC 1895978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the "always skinny" Demi panel and love them! I'm 12 weeks. I expect to move to full panel maybe in 3rd trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gap-maternity-jeans-panel-types#post-1895902 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 19:21:35 +0000 Boheme 1895902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved the Demi panels </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gap-maternity-jeans-panel-types#post-1895898 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 19:19:18 +0000 Ms.Badger 1895898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: Thank you, i thought I was the only one who loves demi panels. I found the full panels made my belly so itchy! I wore demi panels until I delivered and am in them right now at 10.5 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gap-maternity-jeans-panel-types#post-1895887 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 19:12:50 +0000 dc yoga bee 1895887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine just came in the mail!! My friend swore by the demi panel Work Trousers, and demi panel jeans. At the moment, I cannot stand anything on my belly. I love love love the demi panel. Doesn't engulf my belly, no muffin top, and this is the most comfortable I've been with all this bloat haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gap-maternity-jeans-panel-types#post-1895871 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 19:04:21 +0000 blackbird 1895871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favorite are the long and lean full panel. I also have a pair of full panel boot cut. I don't care for non full panel jeans </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gap-maternity-jeans-panel-types#post-1895865 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 19:02:09 +0000 Smurfette 1895865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hated demi panel. Gave me a muffin top. Full panel was comfy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gap-maternity-jeans-panel-types#post-1895796 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 17:34:08 +0000 charmed 1895796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go with full panel. I just sent back a pair of demi panel that I loved besides the panel - it hit my belly at a weird spot and was uncomfortable (I'm 26 weeks).</p> <p>I wish they had more color options for their full panel jeans b/c I would love to get some in a lighter color! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gap-maternity-jeans-panel-types#post-1895795 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 17:32:25 +0000 sarah.clarisse 1895795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had two pairs of gap maternity jeans. Both full panel. In the early months I just folded the full panel down in half so it acted sorta like a Demi panel. Once the bump was huge I wore them regular. I found that the Demi panels were too tight and uncomfortable.<br /> I also had a pair of gap shorts that had hidden elastic that was adjustable. Those were great during my 2nd tri and early 3rd tri. They just sat below my bump were super comfy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gap-maternity-jeans-panel-types#post-1895752 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 17:04:49 +0000 Snowdrop 1895752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a pair of demi panel ones i was given, at first they were my favourite but now at 24 weeks they always end up under my bump, I would get either under bump or massive full panel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gap-maternity-jeans-panel-types#post-1895749 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 17:01:39 +0000 CakeLady 1895749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had two pairs of gap maternity jeans, demi panel and full panel, and I HATED both. They got saggy really fast in the knees and butt. The demi panel was tight and uncomfortable and the full panel was always too loose. </p> <p>I had better luck with jeans that I bought at Destination Maternity, I think the brand was indigo blue - they were about $40 and they held up really well and fit until the end of my pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gap-maternity-jeans-panel-types#post-1895741 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 16:53:09 +0000 Mrs.KMM 1895741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my friend (who has a 4 months old) swears by the Gap maternity jeans. I saw they are currently 40% off so I wanted to take advantage and get a pair or two (if my bloat keeps up like this, I'm going to be forced out of my normal pants soon).</p> <p>But I go to look at them and there are 5 different panel options and I don't even know what to go for. Elastic inserts, full panel, demi panel, front demi panel, or ultimate panel (who's description sounds like front demi panel - what's the difference?)</p> <p>What type of panel did you find to work best / be most comfortable with Gap maternity jeans? Did you have different panel types for different trimesters? </p>
