Ugg. I can't find a style of Jeans that don't end up around my ankles after 2 minutes of walking. I know I have no booty but still. Any tips on keeping my pants up lol. I've tried the different types of bands and no go.

Suspenders are hot!

Well maybe not, but that would work.

What I had to do was get one of those belly bands from KMart and take one of those rubber hair ties and loop it around the button hole and run it to my button and leave the zipper down a little bit (also wear a lil longer shirt) or get the belly band and the athletic pants that have the strings to tighten them.


The belly band is for support where the 2 styles above lack in.

My maternity jeans had that giant cloth belly wrap with the elastic that goes over the top of the belly and under your boobage. Even WITH a butt I needed them. I also picked up a couple pairs of maternity overalls and those were a lifesaver. Super comfy and I didn't have to worry about my pants falling down. Only issue with those was when you had to pee suddenly.

heh I was going to suggest safety pins to the shirt.

My wife got lucky I guess. I don't recall her complaining much about that. I'm not going to say anything about a big booty.

Thanks for the suggestions guys!!! I dont think i'll be pinning it to my bra or anything, I'm having enough pain in my upper right rib cage I don't wanna add more weight to it. I'm happy to read that it's not just me. I'm gonna look for overalls though, sounds nice hehe.

At least the military maternity uniform stays up nice. It goes above the belly and has a really big elastic.

Whatever you do, do not buy corduroy overalls, I went through 3 pairs while I was pregnant, for some reason they are more likely to split.

I got superlucky that Avenue had a wonderful selection of plus sized maternity jeans. 2 pairs lasted me the entire pregnancy.

The jeans I have I got from Motherhood Maternity. I first thought it could be the size but I'm in Medium and if i go lower my thighs wont fit. Bigger wont fit either.

Poppy I wore so much corduroy as a teen that I'm all corduroyed out lol.
