maternity jeans for petite mom

My pre-pregnancy jeans were 00, I'm wearing a 1 now but they still dig into my belly. I'm 5 foot tall and 98 lbs and 15 weeks along. My question is for similarly built women where did you find jeans that fit? And I refuse to be that woman that lives in yogas or sweats, I didn't like them before pregnancy I won't like them during lol

Try the belly band sold at Target for $16 bucks same concept as rubberband but more coverage also supports growing belly

Yeah im petite also used size 0 pre pregnancy size. I went to look at some and omg didn't fit at all I looked so tiny in them. So I went to go buy dresses instead I could wear before and after so don't really matter.

Yeah, I figured. I need to wait a while before I buy them, I've been wearing my size 00 with a hair tie looped around the button hole and the button. I have looked at the motherhood store and everything looks so big for me, but maybe I just need to try it on. Thanks for the advice :)

I was 106 pre pregnancy and wore size 1 by 16 weeks I bought maternity jeans and loved them I bought them from Motherhood if you have one close to you I was shocked how they fit like my regular jeans that I would normally wear. They were a cheaper pair and I still paid over $30 for them. And if you buy a pair I suggest going to the store to get them cause some fit very different them others. BUT I have to warn you I really felt like I wasted my money cause buy 24 weeks my hips grew and even the maternity jeans dug into my hips I can't even wear my $30 pair of jeans and I'm actually more comfortable in my old jeans with a longer shirt. So if you can hold off on buying them they have these things (forget what they are called) that they cover your buttons and zippers so that you can wear your old jeans undone and just looks like a tank top.
