1. The Over-the-Bump Wonder:

Let’s kick things off with the classic over-the-bump style.

2. The Under-the-Bump Delight:

If you’re not a fan of the over-the-bump look and feel, – the under-the-bump style is here to save the day. These maternity jeans feature a lower waistband that sits comfortably under your belly, these pregnancy pants provide a more relaxed fit while still offering support where you need it most.

For those who can’t quite decide between maternity denim that sits over-the-bump or under-the-bump, there’s the Elastic Panel. With its clever design, this style boast an elastic panel to provide the stretch and comfort your changing silhouette craves. This maternity denim was my favorite style because it worked from my early pregnancy months to the late phases of pregnancy but also well into my postpartum first year!
