We hope this maternity jeans style guide helps you to make an informed decision on which pregnancy denim to buy for your style/shape.
Some important tips from me when choosing jeans:
1   stay with your regular AUS pre-pregnancy size unless indicated on the product description 
     (as a general guide - for Mavi, Seraphine + Maternal America they are a slightly generous fit so order a size down, James Jeans, JBrand and Esprit run true to size)
     (as a rough guide my size is generally size SMALL 10 Australian - I fit Maternal America XS, Mavi 26, James Jean 27, JBrand 27, Esprit S, Seraphine XS)
2   if you choose the larger size you may find them too big in the bottom and thighs, and will be hitching them up all the time, as most maternity jeans sit underbelly
3   the jeans may feel a little snug at first but remember that the denim will give with each wear and wash
4   an important care factor - to retain the longevity of any maternity jeans with stretch panels please remember to pull them up by the denim only, not the fabric panel which is delicate
5   compare belly buttons!  nearly all our jeans are photographed on real pregnant women.  if you compare belly buttons then you can see where they will sit on your body and how low they sit at the back.  if you are not used to low waisted hipster styles then choose the jeans with the all round belly bands

underbelly waistband maternity jeans

side panel maternity jeans

no panel styling maternity jeans

These jeans have an all round elastic waistband at the top of the jeans. The waistband sits underbelly as you get bigger. It is usually not noticeable under tops.

These jeans have side stretch panels that expand with your tummy - from the back they look just like your regular jeans.
Great for ladies who can't take alot of pressure on their belly

These jeans have no panel but sit underbelly with plenty of stretch in the denim to support you to 9 months!   Most denim jeggings are designed like this.

 NOTES: NOTES:  NOTES: 

- these styles provide firm underbelly or overbelly support
TIP: if you don't like any pressure on your belly then choose jeans with side stretch panels or no panel styling.

- the elastic panel at the back ensures a supportive fit at the rear and not needing to hitch the jeans up every time you get up and down (like some lowrise hipster styles)

- these styles are the closest thing to your regular maternity jeans as the side panels are quite discreet and blend in with the design

- these styles tend to sit much lower on the hips and rear (refer to diagram above)

- the side panels stretch comfortably and make the jeans easy to take on and off

- these styles may have discreet elastic sewn into the top part of the jeans

- they look just like your regular jeans and are perfect for post partum wear

- most denim jeggings have no panel and they sit comfortably underbelly

Amazingly comfortable jeans and I love the dark wash.  The band is comfortable on my belly at 6 months and they don't fall down - Tricia
Esprit Dark Wash Skinny Jeans

 I can't sing the prasies of these jeans enough. I bought a pair during my first pregnancy and they have been my staple pair of jeans ever since. Post birth, I simple wore a belt or sash to disguise the elastic waist. I'm now 34 weeks into my second pregnancy and they are still going strong! They have retained their colour and shape beautifully. Definitely a long term investment piece. Jo
Maternal America Skinny Jeans

I absolutely love Maternal America jeans. I bought one pair while pregnant. My baby was born three months ago but I'm still wearing the jeans as the elastic waist band is so comfortable. Have always found 'normal' jeans tight around the waist so these jeans are a wonderful alternative. Have bought two more pairs since having the baby! Andrea
Maternal America Straight Leg Jeans
 
Very comfortable, I don't like anything tight on my stomach even when I was not pregnant and these Jeans a really stretchy in the front. They are so stylish, feels like a normal trendy pair of jeans but comfy in the belly. I am normally a size 10-11 in Jeans. I have previously bought a size 10 Mavi Jean which fit snug (pre-pregnancy). I bought the size 10 here and it fits perfectly. I have even put on a few extra kilos since being pregnant and the 10 still fits great. Excellent service, delivered the next day. Very happy. April
Mavi Jessica Rinse Rome Jeans

Pre pregnancy I lived in my Mavi jeans, and I was a little anxious about what I was going to end up having to wear once I could no longer squeeze into them. I was sooooo excited to find this website and maternity Mavi jeans!!!
The feel amazing just like my fav Mavi's and I love the adjustable button elastic tabs on the side so as I'm growing they do to. Thanks Mavi for not neglecting those of us who still want to look good and thanks Queenbee for the fantastic range and service X mel

Mavi Reina Black Super Skinny Jeans
 These Jeans should be called O.M.G!
Because that's exactly what I said when I put them on!
Great stretchy band! Awesome fit and lift around the bum and generous length!
So nice to finally had found a maternity item I actually LOVE!
These jeans are going to be well loved :D

Maternal America Dark Wash Bootcut Jeans

These are fantastic jeans, very stylish and very comfy and lightweight, and with me being short at 155cm I just wear them scrunched at the bottom and they look great as they are a slim fit. I got both colours and am so pleased that I did, and they can be easily worn after pregnancy too. Love these!!! Pene
