Do short inseam under-the-belly pants exist???

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 

Since it's been many years since I was last pregnant, I had gotten rid of so many maternity clothes.  I thought I'd look online to see what's out there these days, and I'm bummed that while most maternity clothes seem to have gotten more stylish, there seems to be nothing better for short women than there was a decade ago.  The only pants I seem to see anywhere in a short inseam are those same over the belly panel pants :(  I was really hoping to get some under the belly ones, but being only 5'1" I don't want them dragging on the ground and I always seem to have that problem with any pants I buy unless I get a short sized inseam...  Any petite moms out there find any affordable under the belly pants?

Double check on the over the belly panels.  A lot of them are designed to fold over if you prefer the under the belly style, mine do.  I have a short inseam as well.  Mine are from Thyme Maternity in Canada.  I'd link, but they have a terrible uninformative website.

I'm also 5'1" and while I prefer the belly panels b/c I feel like elasticized waistbands put too much pressure by the kid's head (and my bladder!), I do have one pair of pants like that and I didn't have to get them hemmed...from The Gap. They're always a good place to check out for ankle-length pants, maternity or otherwise.

I have two pairs of low rise under the belly pants from Old navy and they are my favorite!  However, I find their paints run really long, and I've had to have them hemmed (I'm 5'')  It was so worth it though!  The jeans I could happily wear every day until this baby arrives!

I second Old Navy and Gap.  They make an under the belly pant with a shorter inseam.

Honestly, the over the belly panels these days are nice.   The secret fit belly panels sold my Destination Maternity and even Gap are comfortable and not easily visible under clothes.  They will also easily fold down if you want them below the waist.

 

I have a couple of under the belly pairs of jeans, and had to stop wearing them several weeks ago.  I carry low and those panels simply do not stretch enough to not be painful on my lower belly.  I have several brands, including gap.  Btw, I am 5'3".

I have a 30" inseam, and my favourite maternity jeans are skinny underbelly ones from the Heidi Klum "Loved" collection, which I bought for about $40 at Motherhood.

I am finding that mid second trimester, I may need to switch to panel jeans.
