Maternity jeans recommendation please!

Maternity jeans recommendation please!

So I have a pair of skinny jeans from ON that I almost love. The MAJOR problem is that the belly band only covers 3/4 of the belly (this seems to be the ridiculous intended fit). When my belly was smaller it was awkward but I could deal with it. Now that I'm 21 weeks and have a decent belly, its getting super uncomfortable and unattractive looking. It's giving me a bulge where it cuts into me so I definitely need a new pair of skinny maternity jeans.

Does anyone have a good pair or dark wash, skinny, full panel maternity jeans? I ordered a pair from the Gap that got mostly rave reviews and they were awful on me, gave me a baggy butt and were too loose all over (I admit I have never liked regular Gap jeans either though). I prefer jeans that are partially elastic, I feel they hold their shape so much better and are more flattering. I also don't want to spend a lot of money since I'm half way into my pregnancy and this might be my last. Chat Icon TIA!

Interestingly (and annoyingly) these seem to be totally sold out online, unless you're a size 1 tall. I need a short so that stinks for me. I might swing by one of the stores that sells maternity and see if they have these. I love everything about the skinny pair I have but the band hits at such a bad spot.

I alternate between the pair I bought from Motherhood Maternity which are amazing and so comfortable and the pair of skinny jeans I have from ON. Those are still comfy and fit fine but I can see that in the weeks to come it's not going hit me in a weird spot and not cover my entire belly. The Motherhood pair I can pull the panel up to my armpits right now, which DH caught me testing out and just busted out laughing... apparently it's not a sexy look Chat Icon

I needed a short in the Old Navy also and they didn't have them in store, just regular length. They are so comfy and stylish that I must confess that I am wearing them still at six months post partum lol. I also bought the jeggings. I hated the half panel esp this last pregnancy since it was my second the panel came right into my csection scar which wasn't even a year old so it hurt a lot. The full panel also made my stomach less lumpy, like smoothed it out, kwim?
