Are H&M maternity jeans any good?

Had mothercare ones last time that were mega frumpy.

There's a small maternity section in my local H&M so hoping to try some tomo...

I loved H&M maternity jeans. Lived in them through three pregnancies (and a little while post pregnancy each time because they were so comfy!). Definitely less frumpy than the mothercare ones.

PerfectlyPosed · 14/09/2018 16:47

Yes, I lived in mine last time round. Not so much this time as it's been so hot but still couldn't be without them!

Fieau · 14/09/2018 16:47

my h&m maternity jeans only fit me until about 28 weeks pregnant. I've Worn them loads in the five months since I had the baby though as I'm back to my Pre pregnancy weight but normal jeans dig into my c section scar

My bump grew out of the elastic at about 34 weeks last time- I just bought another pair for my second pregnancy in a size bigger to avoid it happening again which was stupid as they just keep falling down!

I really liked mine, they were the only maternity pants that felt like regular jeans but comfy.

brodiee · 14/09/2018 16:54

Great thanks, sounds like they are worth getting. Did anyone have the super skinny style?

I have a super skinny style. I love them as they actually look like normal jeans. However, if you want them to last then I’d definitely size up. I used to be a size 6-8 H&M so bought a size 8 as I thought that was sizing up enough. I’m 28 weeks now and I don’t think they’ll last until the end but they were good for my budding bump (especially as I was too big for my normal clothes but too small for most maternity).

Paranormalbouquet · 14/09/2018 17:33

I never usually touch h+m jeans (hourglass shape and can’t usually get thighs into them!). But I think their maternity ones are brilliant! The only ones I’ve found that stay up!

funinthesun18 · 14/09/2018 17:36

I have some H&M maternity jeans and they have been great.

Harrypotterfan1604 · 14/09/2018 17:38

Haven’t tried H&M but I got two pairs from peacocks £18 each so reasonable and they’re fab. So comfy, washing great and should hopefully fit me til the end they’re very stretchy

Tilliebean · 14/09/2018 17:42

I love the super skinny ones! Go to in both pregnancies, I agree the start getting a bit tight around the bump around 35 weeks but I’m just persevering... still managing at 37 weeks.

Defnotunique · 14/09/2018 17:43

I got a pair from H&M @ 24w, they were slightly looser which suited me.
I popped them on again the other day @31 weeks and they're now very tight with little give and the bump band only covers half my bump. @£35 this makes me sad!!
I got a pair of skinny jeans from Mothercare in the sale @ £15 and they're so comfy!!!
I guess it's just personal preference.
The sad thing is though - there's such limited amount of maternity wear about that you can't even try them on!!!

MeadowHay · 14/09/2018 17:56

Yes, I had over-bump skinny jeans from H&M and I loved them, probs my fave maternity clothing item that I bought, they were so comfy and I wore them for like the first 6 weeks PP until I bought myself some new jeans too as it doesn't look like I'll ever be fitting back into my old skinnies with my new mum-tum pouch thing of skin.

coffeeforone · 14/09/2018 18:03

Yes to H&M skinny maternity jeans!! I've worn them in both pregnancies. I bought my normal size (16) in 2 colours and they are still fine at 39 weeks and I'm huge!!

I have friends who are size 10 and have worn the same style throughout their pregnancies.

MadamePeony · 14/09/2018 18:03

I love my H&M mat jeans and all the tops I have as well. They are very affordable. I just got the cutest little lady bird t shirt for £8.99! Comfy.x

These are the ones that myself and others I know have!

AliceRR · 14/09/2018 20:18

I have the super skinny ones now and I love them. So flattering and comfy. I am 18 weeks and have reasonably big bump for my size but seems like my bump has room to grow in.

I bought a grey pair about a month ago and love them so much I just bought blue in the same style.

If you can I’d go into store and try them ob

Athers666 · 14/09/2018 21:03

I love mine! I have a blue and a black skinny pair and they are great. They look like denim but are actually really soft and the over bump material is lovely and soft as well. I haven't actually tried any other brands but I'm so pleased with mine. After the baby is here I'm sure I'll still wear them! I just bought my usual size, they are plenty generous so no need to size up. Only downside is there are no front pockets, but there are ones at the back.

Athers666 · 14/09/2018 21:05

In fact, here's a pic of mine 😁

Are H&M maternity jeans any good?

blorgzorb · 14/09/2018 21:06

I have the skinnies and really like them so far (24 weeks).

Nad1122 · 14/09/2018 21:59

Be sure to check the sale rail in h&m. I've managed to kit myself out with pretty much a whole maternity wardrobe from there and not spent more than £10 on any one item. Probably got way more than I needed (thus undoing the benefit of any bargains 🙄).

The jeans are fab. I managed to find 2 blue pairs, one skinny, one boyfriend. And 2 biker, one black, one khaki. I love them.

Htaylor182 · 15/09/2018 08:13

I love them! Had them with first dd and brought some again. Went to Dorothy perkins but they went an odd shape after a couple of wears. Got the super skinny just like normal jeans a bit stretcher SO COMFORTABLE. I got my normal size, a 6, but i know they won't last when I get into 25+ weeks as they didn't last time so plan to get a bigger size nearer the time. Atm they had a sale section on top, didn't have jeans but stocked up on loads of tops and dresses for 5-7 quid each!

brodiee · 15/09/2018 12:55

Thanks all! I went today but they didn't have any sale stuff but I got a pair of skinny blue jeans and they fit great! They are perhaps slightly a tad too long for my short legs as the material bunches a bit, but I'm sure as my bump grows it will 'pull' the material up!!

They're v comfy and hoping they'll fit me for a while!

Girlwiththearabstrap · 15/09/2018 19:39

I also had a couple of pairs and liked them. They did me fine till 42 weeks!

CrabbyPatty · 15/09/2018 20:35

I got some short leg ones from ASOS. I reckon my bump might grow out of them but they are comfy and fit well for now.
