not mimi maternity, or motherhood….all their pants are WAY to big.
places like old navy, i know im going there first. any suggestions would be really helpful, THANKS!
i know stretchy pants, but i need like black work pants…..cuz i havent had a job and got really bored just sitting around cuz i used to be a party girl so i dont talk to any of my friend anymore. anyways i decided to get a part-time job and i need black work pants…i dont think they can be the stretchy ones.

You would need to find a place that has extra small maternity clothes - try old navy or gap.

I’m not sure about being petite, I don’t have that issue LOL. But I know that Old Navy has awesome clothes and they’re not expensive. Target has cute ones too. Same with the Gap but they’re a little more expensive. I wouldn’t buy tons that don’t have the full panel. Even if you’re small you never know how big you might get and the full panel are the most comfortable. Good luck!

If the pants still fit every wear but your belly, I would suggest The Bella Band. It got me through the first 6 months, until I actually had to buy maternity pants. I went to oldNavy.com as they have the cutest IMO.
Here it is for cheap and look for different colors!
BTW, I am smaller too and even the smalls in maternity clothes did not fit me the first 6 months.

I’m the same size in maternity clothes that I was in regular clothes — 6 or Medium. Try on your regular size and gauge what size you’ll need from there. Also, I find the clothes at Old Navy to be the cutest and best fitting. Motherhood is good, but the sizes are a little off, IMHO (for example, I wear their large shirts instead of medium). Motherhood sales people are very helpful though. Target maternity sucks, if they happen to have something cute, all the middle sizes will be sold out immediately. And it’s way overpriced. Good luck!
Edit: oh, yes, I have a belly band too. Very helpful if you want to keep wearing your regular clothes.

Yes I love Old navy.. Most of their jeans are stretch so try getting one or two sizes larger and try them on and see how that works. What I did when I couldn’t button by pants anymore is put a rubber band through one loop and then over the button and wore a long shirt over it. You might also want to check out Bella Band online you can wear them over your normal clothes until you fit into maternity.
EDIT: I am also very short so I would just get my pants altered at your local cleaners. It shouldn’t cost more than 10.00 for each pair.

try the gap too. my friend said she got all her maternity clothes there. (I’m only 6 weeks so havent had to shop yet..)
You buy the same size you did pre-pregs. the designer makes them larger in the right sections. most just have elastic bands at the waist and more material throw your midsection for the tops.

I would just try on several different pairs, the ones that fit best Id get. I had to just try on many different pairs to find comfy ones. I would however get several sizes b/c youre going to grow and you want to have pants that’ll last a while as opposed to having to go out every month or so just for new ones. I would try old navy,JC penneys also has good things. Good luck and congrats:D

Gap maternity pants are great- you can get them in long too if you order online. I’m 36 weeks now and the only thing that’s grown is my belly (like a little basketball) but my legs, butt, everything else is still my pre-pregnancy size 6 so I wanted to make sure I got pants that still fit me normally throughout my legs and **** (not baggy) but had give in the belly for the baby. Gap is great for that. Motherhood maternity is HORRIBLE for pants, super saggy in the **** and legs ALTHOUGH I have 3 nice work skirts from them that I got on clearance for about $10-$15 each and they fit great just like regular skirts- can’t even tell! Good luck!

Since you are that small and if you are like many women until the latest stages of pregnacy you won’t change your hips and legs much, if you buy some low rise pants maybe one size bigger than you are now and get a belt, shortbelt.com have some cute belts that just go on the side and not around the tummy itself. Anyhow you can make your pants last a long time without getting into maturnity pants.
Also pregnacy doesn’t last long at all, I always like to check the resale shops, any ones close to colleges usually have the cheapest prices for the higher end fashions.

You should def. try Motherhood, They will prob be the best bet. I am 5′2, and was 120 pre-pregnancy and I got pants at Oldnavy that were an xsmall and they were still too big, I got some from Motherhood that were a small, but in the petite section and they fit perfect. You should prob just go there and try some on and see what fits best. Good Luck

you could try going to normal fashion shops like gap and newlook as they can do maternity clothes but still want to be fashionable so could do smaller sizes. you could try searching on the internet for shops that do smaller sizes then go to the shops instead of buying online thats what i did wen buyin maternity clothes! congrats xx

you will probably have trouble finding maternity pants that fit you. i have a friend who just had a baby and she is your pre-pregnancy size and she had to buy small and x-small maternity clothes and have them altered to be smaller. if you or someone you know is handy with a sewing machine you can buy some jeans in a size bigger than what you currently wear and cut out a belly pannel and sew a stretchy fabric one in there. (that’s what the mom on juno did) good luck.

Your maternity clothes should be the same size you would always have gotten before except when they are specifically maternity style clothes they make them especially for the extra belly, **** and thighs size that you are while you are pregnant. Majority still stick to size 2 and up or the x-small-small-medium-large size labels check out the store motherhood and I’m sure you won’t need any help at all in finding what fits comfortable to you.

American Eagle has stretchy clothes I’m in the same vote you are. All my clothes are a Little to tight now so I went to AE and bought some jeans and shorts a size up. And they have lots of strech in them. And there shirts are perfect.
