Maternity plus size jeans are a great way to stay comfortable and stylish while expecting a baby. They're also a practical wardrobe component, and jeans can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Because women may weigh the same, yet have wildly different body shapes, there are a few things you should consider when shopping for maternity plus size jeans:

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    First, you'll want to choose maternity plus size jeans that will last you through most of your pregnancy. You don't want to be buying new jeans every couple of months. You may want to wait until your second trimester before buying maternity jeans.

  2. Step 2

    In the early months, consider using a Bella Band or other stretchy panel to hold up your regular jeans. This will save you money and let you delay purchasing plus size maternity jeans until you have a better idea of how the shape of your body will change during pregnancy.

  3. Step 3

    Decide whether a full panel or front panel pair of maternity plus size jeans will provide the best fit. In general, if you are straight-hipped and find yourself growing forward rather than sideways, choose a front panel. If your growth is spread through your hips and tummy, a full panel style maybe a better fit.

  4. Step 4

    A classic dark wash is versatile and goes with just about anything. Also, in addition to a stretch tummy or all around panel, choosing maternity plus size jeans in a stretch fabric can help keep you comfier as well.

  5. Step 5

    Decide where to shop. If you prefer to shop in person, Motherhood Maternity offers a selection of maternity plus size jeans. One caveat: their jeans tend to run long, which can cause problems if you are quite petite. While buying in person will let you try on the jeans, you're likely to find a much better selection online.

  6. Step 6

    If you shop online for maternity plus size jeans, Old Navy offers a selection of stylish jeans at reasonable prices up to a size 20-22 (XXL).

  7. Step 7

    For larger size, consider shopping online for maternity plus size jeans at Lane Bryant. Maternity jeans are available in sizes up to 32.
