Maternity Pants in Maternity Pants & Leggings(1000+)

During my pregnancy, when should I start shopping for maternity clothing?

It's always a good idea to be prepared. Buy some maternity basics like a few tops, pants, dresses, and comfortable undergarments early in your pregnancy, and continue getting the clothing you need as your pregnancy progresses.

What size maternity pants should I buy?

While many women think they should order a larger size when buying maternity clothing, this isn't usually the case. When shopping for maternity pants, start by trying them in your pre-pregnancy size and move one size up if you find you prefer a roomier feel.

Should I buy under-the-belly or over-the-belly maternity pants?

If you like the supportive feel of an elastic panel over your baby belly, choose over-the-belly maternity pants. If an elastic panel over your midsection feels too confining, shop for under-the-belly pants. If both feel uncomfortable, you have a few more options. You can buy maternity pants with stretchy side panels or purchase regular pants one or two sizes larger than your normal size.
