I also just bought some black skinny jeans from Motherhood Maternity that I'm really liking. I'm also short and got them in the petite size, and the length is perfect (I'm 5'3" if that helps). They actually look nice enough that I'm wearing them to work. I bought them in-store but I think they might be these? They also have basically the same pant in a blue jean if you don't want black. <a href="http://www.motherhood.com/Product.asp?Product_Id=949050291&#038;MasterCategory_Id=MC27&#038;rrec=true" rel="nofollow">http://www.motherhood.com/Product.asp?Product_Id=949050291&#038;MasterCategory_Id=MC27&#038;rrec=true</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-some-maternity-jeans#post-2560909 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 17:39:12 +0000 Portboston 2560909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a couple from H&amp;m that I lived in. If you're ordering online id recommend buying two sizes and just return the ones that don't fit. They take in store returns. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-some-maternity-jeans#post-2560767 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 14:06:13 +0000 marley 2560767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved my AG maternity skinny jeans last time I was pregnant. They were a little stretchy and accommodated when I started growing everywhere else along with my waistline. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-some-maternity-jeans#post-2560726 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 13:08:12 +0000 starlitsky 2560726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: I really liked Lilac maternity too! I randomly ordered them off Amazon and ended up wearing them all the time.</p> <p>Also I got a random brand from Motherhood Maternity called Indigo Blue. Overall I liked the full panel on Motherhood's jeans because it was supportive and stretchy but not restrictive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-some-maternity-jeans#post-2560722 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 13:04:38 +0000 SweetiePie 2560722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Citizens of Humanity Avendon Ankle Skinny! They were my fave.<br /> Also the J Crew maternity toothpick were great. </p> <p>Both have a shorter inseam so may work well for you. I am 5'5", so not short and not tall. They hit me in a good spot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-some-maternity-jeans#post-2560718 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 13:01:01 +0000 brownepiano 2560718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the Old Navy underbelly ones, but by 8 months they were too tight. I haven't had any luck getting jeans that fit well for my whole pregnancy. I have H&amp;M full panel ones and they stretch out really fast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-some-maternity-jeans#post-2560701 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 12:46:25 +0000 KayKay 2560701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES to the JCrew skinnies. I've tried a bunch of different side-panel ones, and these are by far my favorite and stay up the best/don't stretch out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-some-maternity-jeans#post-2560674 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 12:22:18 +0000 nana87 2560674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found a really random brand I loved at a boutique--Lilac Maternity-- they also sell them on Amazon, and I got a pair off Gilt once for a nice discount </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-some-maternity-jeans#post-2560655 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 12:05:56 +0000 Shantuck 2560655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: I had read about these jeans on the Elements of Style blog and that blogger recommended sizing up so that is why I tried a 6. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-some-maternity-jeans#post-2560649 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 12:01:27 +0000 catlady 2560649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: @Shantuck: Thanks, this is helpful. Yes, I am in the U.S. Maybe I was reading the size chart wrong. It said Jeans size 2-4 and then underneath, waist 24-25". I have never worn a size 24 jeans, lol! Seems best to try a size up anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-some-maternity-jeans#post-2560646 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 11:59:29 +0000 Shantuck 2560646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: I was size 27 (size 4) in my Banana Republic non-maternity jeans before this pregnancy but I'm a size 6 in the H&amp;M MAMA Skinny Jeans (I didn't have luck with the MAMA Super Skinny Jeans either because there was absolutely no stretch with those and I could barely get my feet through the leg holes). The size 6 H&amp;M MAMA Skinny Jeans are definitely a snug fit but in a good way on me because they have a little stretch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-some-maternity-jeans#post-2560645 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 11:56:49 +0000 mfa_lady 2560645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: Are you in the US? If so, make sure you're shopping on their US site (it should tell you up on the very top nav bar). Those sizes are pretty TTS! I wore a 4 before DD, and wear between a 4 and 6 now, and the 6 from HM is perfect for me. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-some-maternity-jeans#post-2560642 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 11:53:49 +0000 catlady 2560642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: @Shantuck: @walshbee15: I love the way these look. I have never tried H&amp;M before (crazy, I know) and I'm a little confused about sizing. If I was a 27 (2 or 4 US) pre-preg, should I get a size 6 or 8 in these? Their jeans size guide is a little weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-some-maternity-jeans#post-2560621 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 11:34:50 +0000 walshbee15 2560621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lived in three pairs of H&amp;M skinny jeans during my whole pregnancy. Couldn't have survived without them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-some-maternity-jeans#post-2560592 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 10:56:09 +0000 Shantuck 2560592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with @mfa_lady. I am really liking the H&amp;M denim this go round (though I prefer full panel because otherwise I constantly feel like my pants are falling down). With my last pregnancy, I splurged on some Citizens, which I loved, but surprisingly I started this pregnancy about 15 lbs lighter than last time with all my fertility dieting so the Citizens are falling off me. Oh well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-some-maternity-jeans#post-2560548 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 10:24:02 +0000 mfa_lady 2560548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: Try H&amp;M!! I tried these first: <a href="http://www.hm.com/us/product/85143?article=85143-D" rel="nofollow">http://www.hm.com/us/product/85143?article=85143-D</a> But they were too short (for me, I'm 5'6") and the leg was too tapered. </p> <p>But then I got these and love them: <a href="http://www.hm.com/us/product/83541?article=83541-M" rel="nofollow">http://www.hm.com/us/product/83541?article=83541-M</a></p> <p>They might both work for you! Super stretchy and comfy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-some-maternity-jeans#post-2560545 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 10:18:03 +0000 josina 2560545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKRB: My fav's were Jessica Simpson from Motherhood also. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-some-maternity-jeans#post-2560539 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 10:08:29 +0000 MrsKoala 2560539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjd: I bought my normal size in J Crew and I think the maternity size fits pretty true to that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-some-maternity-jeans#post-2560498 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 09:23:54 +0000 Silva 2560498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another recommendation for J.Crew!

I've contemplated getting a pair because I can wear them to work on Fridays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-some-maternity-jeans#post-2560457 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 08:48:57 +0000 MrsKoala 2560457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This pregnancy, I got a pair of J crew skinny maternity jeans with the inset panel and I'm in love. They are comfortable, fit great, and I don't have to deal with any panels over my belly (I hate full panels more than anything). I highly recommend them and they usually have pretty good sales so you can get them at 30% off if you look at the right time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-some-maternity-jeans#post-2560454 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 08:47:10 +0000 youboots 2560454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also you can had a current pair turned into maternity jeans. I had it done for 2 pairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-some-maternity-jeans#post-2560451 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 08:46:28 +0000 youboots 2560451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got Paige maternity jeans.

My favorite maternity jeans were Topshop brand - I had the Leigh moto style. They have them at Nordstrom and on the Topshop website.
