    JeansWest do a range - $65 for one pair & $99 for two pairs of jeans. They come in different colours & cuts. My pair have lasted me nearly a year now and i've no intention of stopping wearing them any time soon (despite having DD3 3 months ago)!!

    I have a pair of Ripe ones that were $200
    I also have a pair of JeansWest ones that were $80 (at the time, cheaper now)
    And I have a pair of Target ones that were $30
    The Target ones are by far the comfiest. The Ripe ones looks the nicest, but not on.

    I can't wear target's size 8's either, weird, they must be bigger in general, I thought we had standards in Aus for clothing sizes but every store seems to be so different.

    Ahh forgot about jeans west I noticed them when it was too late as I was already 38wks pregnant, they looked great! Babyluv if you are going to Chaddy I am assuming you are out that way. There are two outlet stores in Oakleigh and Ormond. If you google Maternity Cltohes Oakleigh they come up. One is called Mamma Bella Clearance Store and the other Motherhood Maternity Warehouse.

    Honestly, I love JayJays jeans when I'm pregnant!! If you can handle wearing your jeans a little lower (just under the belly, rather than around the bottom of it) they are amazing. Most of their jeans have plenty of stretch and I'm noticed that they're actually cut a bit wider in the waist than (for example) JeansWest/Just Jeans (which is great for me because even back at pre-preg weight my waist is a little thicker than pre-baby, I still can't fit into JeansWest size 10's even though I'm a 9 in JayJays), so if your hips are a little wider than usual but your legs are still skinny, they accommodate perfectly. And you can pick them up for $30-$50 a pair so even if they don't last more than a few months, you're not too far out of pocket. HTH If you're worried about flashing skin because they ride so low, you can fix yourself up with a $10 basic singlet from Supre under your shirts, they're really long so will cover that extra inch or two no problems

    I got a great pair from big W, but I got an even better pair off ebay, it was in a bulk lot of clothes and they were brand new! They have been my favourite so far.

    I also got mine from jeans west and I think they were the 2 pair for $99 deal. I got a skinny leg and a bootcut. I haven't worn the skinny leg ones for a while now as all my tops are too tight and you are supposed to wear a baggy top with them (if you are heavier around the bum) I looove the bootcut ones though! they feel really comfy, even more than my trackies
