ladies that were a size 0 or 1 before getting preggo
WHERE IN GODS NAME have you found maternity jeans that your butt and legs actually fit into?!? i am going to cry b/c i have been to the following stores and havent had any luck finding jeans that fit
motherhood maternity
target
macys
khols
the issue is, my belly fits into the small sizes, but the butt & legs are SOOOO baggy -- TOO baggy... i wouldnt be able to pull them off... i've been living in yoga pants and skirts with elastic waists... i bought a pair of capris and shorts from target that are x-small, but i havent found a pair of jeans that fit me
im so frustrated

Re: ladies that were a size 0 or 1 before getting preggo
I was a size 0/2 before getting pregnant.
I am currently 37 weeks and am still not in maternity clothes. Since the weather has been so nice I have been wearing tons of skirts and dresses.
With jeans I have been wearing size 4 (around 6-71/2 months) and 6 (7 1/2 to present) LOW rise. I know the butt and legs are a little bit baggy with some pairs but I try to get a slim fit or I have worn skinny jeans. The brands I think fit the best and have been wearing are citizens and joe jeans (a little more expensive but they have taken me throughout this entire pregnancy).

I was a 2. Try H&M, Gap, or Old Navy! H&M runs the smallest.

hmm... good to know! i did think about buying regular jeans, but just a bigger sizze, but i wasnt sure if that would be really that comfortable... i will give that a shot!

AS long as they are LOW rise then they are still comfortable - atleast for me. And I am carrying very very low this entire time. Just be careful what shirt you wear with the jeans  so that you dont flash anyone when you sit or bend over!!!!
Have you also tried the rubber band trick? That carried me through for a few months with my regular jeans. Maternity clothes drove me nuts - they were always too big and baggy and I just never saw the need to get them since I was still able to fit into some of my regular clothes and regular pants just a few sizes up - I have found it valuable to borrow from friends (who also happen to be pregnant) and can now no longer fit into their regular clothes.

ITA! And A Pea in the Pod too.
I was a 0/1 before DD and a 2 before this pregnancy. I currently wear size 1 in Old Navy and Gap maternity jeans/shorts and XS in dresses, tops, etc.
Motherhood's smallest sizes are too big on me with the exception of the swimsuit and bras I bought there.

I was a 2/4, but I found jeans and pants that (mostly) fit at Old Navy.

Re: ladies that were a size 0 or 1 before getting preggo
i was a size 2 pre-preg and have found only pea in the pod extra smalls fit right, however they didnt until around 5 months and a few washes. I wore regular dress pants with a bella band until about 30 weeks before they got too tight on my hips. Now at almost 41 weeks (ugh!!) i am wearing regular sun dresses from old navy and kohls in an xs or s

Re: ladies that were a size 0 or 1 before getting preggo
I am not ready for maternity pants but I am a 0 & I know this will be a problem for me. I am planning to push the Bella band to the end.

Re: ladies that were a size 0 or 1 before getting preggo
thanks everyone!!
my issue with the bella band is that it worked GREAT for me up until my hips really started to spread... now my jeans are just SO uncomfortable for me to wear b/c of my hips
i will check out mandees & old navy! thanks again all!

Re: ladies that were a size 0 or 1 before getting preggo
I was a 0 before PG and am now 6 1/2 months and wear a size 6 in Anthropologies pants or a 4 in Old Navy. But as for Maternity jeans, I bought 2 pairs of Mavi from a Pea in a Pod and just washed them and now they fit ok, not great but ok. The belly is still loose and they seem to slip off my butt but I make due. It was hard for me to accept that I was growing, that was my biggest problem, especially b/c I did gain some in my legs and butt, but I plan on pushing myself to get right back to a 0 as soon as I physically can. Good luck!!

Re: ladies that were a size 0 or 1 before getting preggo
last pregnancy my XS maternity clothes did not fit my behind until 7 months along. It felt like I had a load of poo in my pants...
