HATCH X J.Crew easy pant

These pants are not great. The fabric is cheap and rough. The fit is very weird- it’s not even maternity pants just kind of large...pull on pants that are shapeless. Where on the waist do they sit- and where are they supposed to sit? Are these ok for work even though the fabric is awful? Why did I spend so much on these? This and more and I still don’t know. Pass.

I am 5 months pregnant with my first and still haven't fully popped, but my pre-pregnancy pants don't fit. These pants fill a gap but aren't perfect. They have a tendency to hang too low on my hips but I constantly have to adjust the bottom of the pant leg when I stand up-- they fit snugly on my calf when I sit down. I would not buy an extra pair of them, but all in all they fill my need until my bump can fit in above the waist pants.

I have had the hardest time finding maternity pants that are comfortable and work appropriate (for my first pregnancy I essentially relied on black jeans and cords, which was too casual). These are perfect. They look like regular work pants but are sooo comfortable with the elastic waist, and are perfect for a growing belly. I actually bought these early on, and they were great from the transition of regular belly to just kind of bigger to actual pregnant belly. I also imagine that these will work postpartum for some time, before I get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I'm not sure why others are having an issue with sizing -- obviously the sizing is going to be slightly broader given that it's essentially a S, M L option as opposed to a 2, 4, 6, 8, etc option, but I followed the sizing guide and it was exactly the right size. Note that when I first started wearing them they were slightly loose, but that's exactly what I wanted as these are meant to grow with you.
