Ripe Maternity Maternity Billie Elastic Waist Jean

The look of these pants isn’t bad, but they run small. I used to wear a size 24 in jeans and typically wear an XXS or XS, so I figured I should stick with my usual size for a maternity option. Nope, can’t even button them at week 37. I could keep them for postpartum but that probably isn’t worth it. I have tried so many maternity pants and am still yet to find something that works, probably because maternity clothes don’t exist in brick and mortar anymore. Like literally what are pregnant women supposed to do? Everyday I feel like I’m ordering stuff, waiting for shipments and then returning everything.

These are the only pair of maternity jeans that have worked for me. I am (now) 5’8” and 165 lbs. I ordered a size large. They are a little big on me, but there are elastic bands on the inside of the jeans that are adjustable, so they can grow a bit with me! I would ignore where is says to order your pre pregnancy size since I was a size small. They are just long enough for me, but I feel like they might not work for those taller than I am. Overall, I am very happy to have purchased these - they make me feel like my old self.
