What jeans did you wear in the early postpartum stage? I'm a little over 2 weeks postpartum and my maternity jeans are getting baggy. What jeans did you wear for the in-between?
After my body finds its new normal, I have no problem paying a decent amount. Right now, I'd like to stay under $50 since this is a temporary state. Links would be a bonus!

I bought a cheap pair from old navy. They were fine, but nothing special. I just went and tried on a few pairs because I had zero idea what size i was.

@Silva: I was just looking at Old Navy's website! I've never tried their jeans but I'm going there (and Target) tomorrow anyway so I might as well.

Have you tried the Demi-panel maternity jeans from gap or old navy? Those worked for me.

@ladybee: I wasn't super impressed, but I didn't want to spend more than like 30 bucks, and desperately wanted to wear real pants!

@ladybee: id go for a looser style- like "boyfriend" or whatever, because they won't look as weird as you continue to lose weight!

@Mrs. D: My PPD makes me drop weight fast (I don't eat) so maternity pants don't fit quick.
@Alba4: I will look into those!
@Silva: I have a Kohls gift card but I don't want to spend $50 on jeans. I think last time I did Target when the jeans were on sale.

I have been wearing yoga pants mostly, and one pair of "early and after" maternity jeans. The have like a half panel and didn't quite fit and the very end of pregnancy but they are good for this in between period. Though, by two months pp last time I remember they were too big and they still fit now at 2 months pp baby 2.

The old Navy sweet heart cut seems to run very generous in the hips and waist. I can still fit in them around 12 weeks and that's what I wore PP last time.

@ms.line: yes! They are like $8!
I got a couple pairs in a size up for early pregnancy and then wore them again postpartum for forever 21.

Gaps new denim comes in a higher rise. I bought two pairs post partum and I was SO happy I did. They have washed well, maintain their shape well and only now are getting saggy but that's because I dropped the weight. The high rise keeps all the squishy bits contained soooooo well and they are actually flattering.
They run 40% off somewhat often.
I bought one pair of the skinny high waist and it's literally all I have worn

I remember buying an inexpensive pair at H&M. Maybe $20? Price couldn't be beat and the fit was pretty good. Otherwise, I'd look at Denizen jeans at Target. Also inexpensive and good fit.

I bought a stack of jeans in the next size up from asos curve. fit perfectly, and now at 13 weeks post partum are starting to get a big looser as I have lost a bit of weight.

I lived in 2 pairs of Gap distressed boyfriend jeans. By the time my pooch went down a bit, they were baggy but it looked fine since they were supposed to look slouchy.
