Dressing your pregnant body isn't always the easiest job, but when you're on the petite side (that's under 5 ft 4 in, by the way), it's even harder.
We don't need to tell you that a pair of jeans is a wardrobe staple, and this doesn't change just because you're having a baby.
You're going to be pregnant for a good few months, so it's worth investing in a decent pair, even if you wouldn't usually spend much on jeans.
You want a pair that are good quality and will last, especially because then you can keep them for any future babies you may go on to have, or even pass them along to a friend who is expecting.
Don't forget, although they might not say petite in the product title, jeans usually come in short, regular and long. In this case, it's short you're after if you're a petite mama.

Sometimes you want all the style of a jean without the restrictions that come with a tough denim. That's why jeggings are a brilliant alternative. They're just as comfortable as a pair of maternity leggings but they look a little smarter to wear if out and about.
