Fave Maternity Pants

Ok so I am assuming that we are all in Mat pants now at least, I have been since about 6w but I have just found the best pair of maternity jeans, pants and skirts EVER at Motherhood, they are the new 'secret fit belly' and they are perfect for me being a larger woman and I even got my BFF to get some and she is a skinny girl and they fit her perfect too!! they are the ultimate pair of mat bottoms!! I have 1 pair of jeans, 1 pair of capri's, and 2 skirts with the secret fit belly!

Anyone else buying these or have another type that are your faves? I wanna know where everyone is buying their mat clothes and what the fave belly styles are for you.

I actually just bought 2 pairs of cargo type capris at target from the liz lange line and they are so light weight and comfortable and they fit so nicely in the tummy. They have a stretchy band but sit under the waist. So many of my maternity pants fit a little too firmly against my tummy when I sit down and the pressure is uncomfortable - these feel like I'm wearing pajama pants all day long.

Target and stores at the mall here (which carry good named mat clothes). Im still fitting somewhat in my fat pants (size 16). I need the below the belly pants cause above ones causes me to have B&H's. The baby hates the above the belly ones, lol.

But my fav is just regular sweats (as seen in most of my belly pics, lol). They are the most comfiest. Plus Im a SAHM and don't need to look good most days

Yeah, Im lazy...my confession

I got a few pair of good jeans with the secret fit belly. I love them.

Ooo I love the Secret Fit Belly too! I only have one pair of jean in that style, but I really want to get a skirt and maybe a couple pairs of shorts. I like how they make the belly look smooth and not lumpy from mid panel pants.

Secret fit panel is just a full belly panel. These are the ones I have

Got them at a pea in the pod. I have to have a full panel over my belly.

I'd love to see those too. I haven't really found anything comfy other than the yoga pants I have with the roll up belly and one pair that fit below. I'm constantly pulling up the panel on my jeans, but other than that, they are fairly comfortable. I'm just now getting big enough to fit into my old mat pants, because they were all XL's and when I tried them earlier, they just fell off me (

).

I get my maternity clothes from JCPenney.com and like most of what I have gotten from there. I hate under the belly pants and the full panel ones too. I like the ones that have a hidden panel and I also like the ones that are all around panels but don't go quite as low as under the belly and not quite as high as on the belly. I like the happy medium the best.

The full pannel on the secret fit are not really cloth like most maternity pants that you see, they are light weight pannel much like panty hose or tights and so comfy, and not hot like my other full pannel pants that are from Target and Walmart. Plus they have the old style jeans with the new secret fit belly for $16.95 at Motherhood.com!
And yes one of my favorite features of this pannel is how smooth and round it makes my belly look, not like my mid way pannel pants that make me look lumpy especialy when I sit.

That secret fit belly panel looks like something I'd love. I'm going to go check them out. I'm a bigger girl, and I've had such a hard time finding comfy pants that stay up on my belly. Under belly pants are uncomfortable to me.

My LuluLemon yoga pants HANDS DOWN! I wear them to the gym or dress them up with a cute Tee...luv'em, luv'em!

So many of my maternity pants fit a little too firmly against my tummy when I sit down and the pressure is uncomfortable - these feel like I'm wearing pajama pants all day long.

I hate that. I've had the worst time, we don't have much selection locally, and I haven't had the time to make a big trip to an actual mall that has say motherhood in it, which is about all you get in these parts. So most of my ordering has been online and Ive been less than satisfied with the outcomes.

I have a pair of yoga capris from Old Navy that I love though, too bad its 20 degrees out so I can't actually leave with them.

I do most of my shopping on line too, I did get a dress from walmart.com that I hate but looks really cute as a shirt so I am going to cut it and sew it up to the right length for a shirt, it was only $10 so it wasn't that bad but all my clothing from motherhood.com have been wonderful! I also got 2 new dress/skirts from there, they are tube top dresses that can also be worn as skirts and they are so comfey!!!

I have the same secret belly fit jeans. I bought a light pair of jeans and then went back and got a dark pair. I wear them everyday! They are so comfy.
But as soon as i get home they come off and i put on my Old Navy maternity lounge pants. They are so much more comfy.
