The type of maternity jeans you buy will be dictated a little by how far along you are in your pregnancy. Maternity jeans with simple fabric bands at the top work well in early and mid pregnancy, but you will probably want roomier jeans towards the end of your pregnancy.

Here are some great maternity jeans to still feel adorable during pregnancy (and you might even consider pairing these with our fun Don't Mess with Maternity shirt):

Hippie Maternity Jeans

These jeans are cute and feature an under-belly soft fabric band for comfort. They are also a little roomier than some maternity jeans, so you won't have to worry as much about them getting tight overnight.

Best for: first trimester

Buffalo Maternity Jeans

OK, why they decided to use the word "buffalo" in the name of maternity jeans is beyond me, but these jeans are great if you like the dark and sleek look. These stylish jeans feature five pockets and a mid-belly band for comfort.

Secret Belly Maternity Jeans

It isn't easy finding jeans that are comfortable and look good into the third trimester. Typically, the line between the jeans and the soft bands starts to cut into a big belly and get too uncomfortable to even wear. This innovative pair of jeans uses a seamless technology to create a pair of maternity jeans that can be worn over large pregnant bellies.
