I was in Gap the other day and they had a sale, so I snagged a pair of dress pants for future use. This morning, I was so bloated and anything squeezing my tummy felt awful. So, I decided to give my regular clothes the bird and put on my maternity pants and just wear a longer shirt. Oh dear Lord, these things are amazing!!!! Why do we not wear them all the time?!?!?! They don't look different than my regular pants since I'm wearing a long shirt, but I am soooo much happier! I'm so tempted to wear them every single day, even though it's completely unneccessary for bump purposes!
-
Right?! The first time I wore maternity pants I was like, "I will never buy a pair of regular pants again." They're so great!
-
It's Heaven in pants form.
-
I also had this epiphany, lol. I seriously am planning on wearing my maternity pants and shorts even after I have LO--they are waaay too comfortable to give up!
-
I can do without ever wearing zippers and buttons ever again.
-
This so reminds me of the Friends episode where Joey turns Phoebe's maternity pants into his 'Thanksgiving pants'.
-
I need to go get some. That or wear the belly band that I bought. The pants I wore today were not my best decision. They have this weird tab button closure so I can't even do the hair tie trick. Dresses are SO much more comfy with the bloating.
-
I'm still wearing mine almost 4 months PP. Just the work maternity pants. I can fit my regular pants but they are only comfortable when standing!
-
Yes! I've been wearing mine since 8 weeks!
-
I love them. I had to start wearing them at 8 weeks (14 weeks now) and I really don't want to wear normal pants ever again.
-
@Smurfette: forget the Bella Band and go straight for the pants. You'll thank me for it.
@Foodnerd81: Love that episode and I always reference my "Thanksgiving pants" around the holidays!
-
I wore mine for the first 2 months after having the baby but then it started to sag since I lost weight. I didnt like them during pregnancy though because my belly was so itchy
-
Gap is having a 30% off sale today with the code PRESALE so i snagged a pair of the black ones.
I still fit into 4 pairs of regular work pants - white, tan, gray and black. I was wearing maternity clothes last week because I was so excited to have them (and that they are sooo comfy) - then i realized I am going to be SICK of these clothes before too long, and I had better start wearing the clothes that still fit me!
-
they are THE BEST.
-
@dagret: Good point!
-
@dagret: Thanks for that promo code!
-
@Mrs. Blue: I might not be *quite* as comfortable, but I think i will be glad I did it down the road.
@WALLAROO: You're welcome!
-
I wore them for a loooong time after having LO because of this
-
I'm only 7 weeks and already so bloated even my 'fat' pants give me a hard time around the tummy area. I've been wearing dresses as often as I can, but will definitely need to stop by Gap to check out maternity pants.
-
@Mrs. Blue: What kind did you get? The demi panel or the full panel? Maybe I will run by the mall tonight and see what they have.
-
I love maternity pants! They also smooth out and hide post partum muffin top for the first few months!
-
I have a few pairs, and I LOVE them, but I have noticed that the only time somebody told me that I looked pregnant was when I had them on with a maternity sweater. Even though I'm 19 weeks, all of my regular clothes fit still, and some pants are too big.
But I do love to wear my maternity pants!Motherhood maternity/Pea in a Pod/etc have 25% off all of their clearance clothes right now, just online. No code is needed, so check them out for pants too!
-
@Smurfette: The ones I got were full, but I'm sure either would feel great!
-
Yeah, right? I think I'll be wearing my maternity pants this coming Fall and Winter b/c they are that comfy, especially the Gap ones that I bought. I'll probably only wear the demi panel though. Or if it's super cold maybe I'll wear the full panel ones. Might as well make use of those pants!
-
@Smurfette: i know you didn't ask me, but i really prefer the full panel. i noticed that unless i was wearing an extremely loose top, the demi panel created a visible line.
-
I don't have pants but maternity shorts are divine! I resisted getting into them until 20 weeks but once I did, it became so clear.to me why ladies raved about them. I'm scared I will never buy a pair of regular shorts/pants again.
-
@photojane: Thanks! I was thinking might as well go for the full cause I know down the road I will probably want those. I don't want to spend a ton on maternity clothes.
-
Joey's Thanksgiving Pants:
-
@highwire: ha! I remember that episode!
-
HA! That was my exact reaction when I put on my first pair.
-
@Mrs. Blue: I totally bought a pair tonight at the Gap. They weren't on sale but I didn't care they were comfy! I got a full panel pair so right now I am going to fold down the panel part since I don't need it. The sales ladies made me feel good, said that I didn't even look bloated! Which was nice cause I don't feel that way!
-
All pants should have stretchy waist bands and no buttons or zippers!
-
This is why I don't understand why people are so resistant to maternity pants and keep trying to wear their regular pants plus bella band or using a rubber band thingy to keep them up. All pants should have elastic waists!!!
-
I loved them, but at a certain point I was so sick of the same old maternity clothes that I couldn't wait to get into my regular clothes!
-
I always feel like that on the days that i am wearing maternity clothes now too! But last time I was itching to get back into normal clothes
But I do love to wear my maternity pants!Reply
