Tips to pick up the right maternity jeans from an experienced mommy

Pregnancy-buying maternity jeans-THS One flip side of pregnancy is that you need to put most of your clothes away and make way for maternity gowns. The most heart-wrenching part? To stop wearing your favourite jeans (because you don’t know when you will get back in shape, especially if you are overweight like me). But if you have always been a denim girl, don’t lose heart. There are plenty of maternity denims that you can shop for. They come in different styles to match your body type and taste too. So, here is a maternity jeans buying guide based on the experiences I have had.The underbelly waistband jeans The underbelly waistband jeans: In this pair of jeans, a waistband is stitched just at the top of the jeans which sits comfortably under your belly. The band is stretchable and stretches as your belly grows to provide support from beneath. However, if you have a C-section or any other scar in the abdomen from previous surgeries, this type of jeans could be a little uncomfortable especially as your belly grows.The over belly waistband jeans The over belly waistband jeans: This has been my best pick so far. The over belly waistband covers the entire belly and keeps it in place as you go about doing your daily chores – commuting, grocery shopping or working in office. The waistband is made of a stretchable fabric which is comfortable and gives the right kind on belly support. If you are slightly overweight and have a previous C-section scar like I do, go for this. You won’t regret this investment.The side stretch bands jeans The side stretch bands jeans: I am not a great fan of these denims. However, you should give this a try. This denim looks like a regular pair of jeans with side stretch bands which expand as your belly grows and sits low just below the belly and gives the much needed under belly support from the sides. However, if you are overweight and your belly is a bit huge, this denim might not be your preferred choice.
