Fav Maternity jeans
I've rented these twice throughout my pregnancy because they have been my favorite so far. I like the belly coverage and fit. The stripe is dark blue, not black.

Great over the belly pants, run small
Rented these at 29 weeks and love them. I have consistently needed to size down for pants during pregnancy but not with these- they run slim. If you have gained any weight in your hips/butt I would go one size up!

These are tight and although I was able to squeeze into them they were not an ideal fit.
Although they looked like they wouldn't fit I was able to squeeze into them. There are some cute touches like mini pockets in the front and there is actually a zipper in the tiny short fly (ha). Think if I sized up in these they could work but I wasn't loving the stripe along the side as much as I thought I would.

Need more over the belly
Once you hit a certain size in pregnancy over the belly pants are a must (esp with my twin pregnancy this round). There aren’t a lot of options on here but these were pretty good. Ran a bit small, I sized up and the legs were still small but if I went bigger they might fall down too much. Fine line I know. Overall would reorder!

VERY small
I'm 17 weeks pregnant and wore a size 28 prior to pregnancy. Ordered a size 29 but easily could have gone with a 30/31. I was lucky that I was able to squeeze into these this time. I will definitely rent again, they are super cute, but will go larger.

Super cute and would've loved to wear but everyone was so right...they run small! I should have gone up like two sizes. Bummed I didn't get to wear them, bc from what I could tell they were pretty flattering

Way too Small
These are crazy small. You need to size up at least two sizes. I’m a 25 normally but ordered 26 based on the other reviews and I could barely get them over my thighs. They are cute but you do need to size up

short and tight
i have several pair of citizens jeans in a size 28 that fit so i thought a 29 would be fine. i was wrong. they are tiiiiight. I could shimmy them on and they accentuated my little bump, which i loved. but they were so incredibly short. so short. even if i sized up again, they would be too short. and the shortness of the pants is enhanced by how tight they are. not a good look

No stretch. Runs very small.
Very cute pair of jeans, but runs super small. I ordered 2 sizes up based on the reviews and it was still tight on me. Maternity jeans should be stretchy and this has no stretch at all. When I put the jeans on, I had to pull it up in sections and flipped a nail in the process. The material is also on the thicker side. A softer denim would have been better.

Not stretchy enough
I love the stripe down the side, but the jean material is not stretchy enough so while I was technically able to get it on, it felt quite tight and it dug into my lower abdomen which was uncomfortable when sitting. I ordered a size up. I normally wear a size 2-4 but this was a size 6. They are too rigid to wear during maternity especially if you're a little curvy. Will work better on someone without curves from lower waist down.

Got a 26 which is one size larger than I regularly wear pre-maternity and I've gained about 10lbs and I couldn't get them over my butt! They are short so good for petites but definitely size up a couple sizes!

I shouldn't have ignored the other reviews!
I loved the idea of high waist, and they technically "fit," but the actual jean part is so low if feels like the pants are sagging. It felt like I was waddling to keep them up, so I didn't end up wearing them.

Why would maternity pants run small???
So these defeat the purpose of maternity pants. What pregnant woman only gets big at the belly and not the hips or legs? There was no stretch to get my legs into the pants. Sending them back very disappointed!

I'm 5'5" and typically 155, wearing a size 10 in most pants, but I'm just starting my third trimester of pregnancy. I'm growing normally and gaining a very normal amount of weight, but couldn't even get these jeans over my hips. way too small.

Couldn’t wear bc they were so small
I went up a size as suggested in the other reviews but they were so tight that I was afraid they’d rip if I wore them. Unfortunate bc I rented them for a trip. It seems like the only “maternity” feature is the belly band and they didn’t account for anywhere else needing to be roomier.

These pants were comically short. I'm 5'7" and they only came up about 8 inches below my crotch. The size wasn't on the tag so I'm not sure if they sent me the wrong size, but the fit was truly bizarre.

I should have listened to the other reviews, but since all the other maternity jeans I've tried have been big, I thought I would try these in a bigger size. They are so small I couldn't pull them above my knees. I'm not sure how many sizes larger i would've needed to go to make them fit

These must have been shrunk when they were washed bc they were laughably small for a 29 and I own multiple pairs of citizen jeans in size 29, including a pair of maternity jeans. I couldn't even get these up my legs and on top of that they were super short. Very disappointed

I wore the jeans with a nice top to work, black ankle boots.
I usually wear a 29 but played it safe and ordered a 30. Jeans fit like a dream. Plenty of tummy room and the fit made me feel sporty and slender. Tons of compliments, people were surprised maternity jeans could be so fashion friendly!

So flattering
I wore these to my baby shower 25.5 weeks pregnant and I wore them several more times. They are so cute and comfortable. I ordered the same size i wear in regular jeans which is a 30 an they fit great. Perfect jeans to wear with different shirts etc. Bc they have the belly band you have to wear a long shirt /sweater with them so it covers the band.

Runs small
I normally wear a 27 in jeans but got the 28 after reading the reviews. They were still snug but I managed. Due to the combination of being snug in the legs and large in the belly (I'm only 14 weeks along), they slipped down in the crotch and I had to pull them up a lot. But they looked cute.

As others advised, I was safe and ordered a 30 (usually a 27 or 28) and they fit well. Definitely not much room for movement but for 30 through 34 weeks they were comfortable so a good sign! And super stylish on.

Great everyday jeans for maternity
These jeans run very small to the point, where you legitimately need to go up 2-3 sizes. I normally wear a 28 or 29, so I originally ordered a 29 based on reviews saying they ran small. I physically couldn't get the 29s onto my body because they were so small and not stretchy. I replaced them with a 31 and like them a lot. They still fit snugly and hold my legs/rear in place. They are cropped above the ankle, which I like for wearing with low booties & sneakers, but it's just good to know that in advance. Also, the stripe down the side is dark blue (not black like it may appear in pictures). My stats: 21 weeks pregnant, 5'7" tall, 140 lbs. Pre-pregnancy I weighed 128 lbs. I like these jeans a lot but may have to size up to a 32 next month to maintain comfort. I docked this product 1-star because while worth finding the right size, the sizing is much less than intuitive in a period of your life where getting dressed is already hard enough :)

Cute jeans, but run small and short
I liked the stripe & wanted to like the jeans, but they ran small (would size up 1 from your usual size for maternity wear), and if you're tall like me (5'9") they'll be short on you (high mid-calf, not just above ankle). Ultimately a little too tight and short to keep, so I sent back.

Just wanted to say the other reviews are right- these run so small. I'd go up two sizes! To give context I have been wearing a 29 in AG maternity jeans so I sized up to a 30 in these but couldn't even pull them over my hips. They are SO cute if you can make them work though!
