This takes "comfy pair" to a whole new level.

So, if all the post-baby women-folk out there love these types of jeans to death and even confess to wearing them like regular jeans, why doesn't the design world take note and make them also for the pre-baby women-folk like me!

Maybe make the panel a little shorter and less noticeable though.

But come on, what woman doesn't use all her might in the dressing room to stretch out a pair of jeans before purchasing them? (I don't work out for nothing, you know.) Or am I just the only one who struggles with small-waist-big-leg-syndrome? These jeans are the cure-all!!! Why do I continue to live in the land of button flies and zippers when I could be attending Jeans Friday feeling like I'm lounging in my sweats?! Why suffer this present torture with such elastical options available?!

Especially during that one pesky little week. You know the one.

It's time to shop outside the belt loop!

You guys are seriously tempting me to stop by the nearest Old Navy or Kohls at once to meander through the maternity section. A married girl's gotta be prepared for the future, right? Plus, I think I need to break them in before they become necessity. Or even wear them completely out so to have an excuse for buying another pair (or two) later on, when it really counts. Sound like a good enough strategy to bump up the clothing budget?

And really, they would totally make jeans shopping (not to mention bathroom break) far less stressful, don't you think?

Tara - I seriously wish I would have bought maternity jeans years ago - They are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo comfortable. And no one can tell they are maternity if you wear a longer shirt with them. They just look like cute jeans.
Do it - you won't regret it. And you will always be able to use them "later" when you are ready for them! :-)

You're not gonna believe this, but I was just wondering about how comfortable maternity jeans are! My sister-in-law is pregnant, so I've got babies on the brain. I guess great minds think alike.

Girl, you've sure been talking about babies alot. Seems like someone's got the fever!

As for maternity jeans, they are oh-so-comfortable! That low band can be hard to wear without the ever-widening pregnancy hips to hold them up, but there are a number of styles with just enough extra give (and some don't have the obvious panel).

yes, you do have the fever tara... you would be ADORABLE pregnant.

i never got a thrill out of my maternity jeans... i could never get them to stay up. i wore my normal jeans as long as i could with the fly open.

Thinking of you today... hope you're well.

Apparently I'm the only person who didn't like my maternity jeans. Ha! I wore my regular jeans until I was 6 months, using a hair binder through the button hole and a bella band to hold them up. Jeans shopping is usually horrible for me because if I get a pair big enough to fit my thighs, the waist is almost always too big. I had to become a belt user. Sigh...
