I got the Glassons pants when I was preg with Isla. Had to get them at 8wks cause my bump started to appear pretty early on and I grew out of my work pants but they lasted me right throughout pregnancy. I think they stretched as I stretched! lol They were a size 8 so I was pretty stoked to still be in size 8's at 42wks preg and carrying an 11lb 8oz baby! lol I most definitely was not still a size 8 by then.... I think the stretchy waistband helped me out a bit
I can still wear the pants now. The waistband is a bit baggy but the butt area fits perfectly. I just fold the waist band over a few times... it holds my marshmellow belly in now ]]> Wed, 21 Apr 2010 20:23:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32961&PID=1003061&title=black-maternity-work-pants#1003061 <![CDATA[Black maternity work pants : Yep, I was stoked to be a size...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32961&PID=1002657&title=black-maternity-work-pants#1002657 Author: fire_engine

Yep, I was stoked to be a size 10 (only taken 2 years + to get there) but I'm sure it won't last long!]]> Wed, 21 Apr 2010 15:06:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32961&PID=1002657&title=black-maternity-work-pants#1002657 <![CDATA[Black maternity work pants : I love my black pants from Glassons...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32961&PID=1002640&title=black-maternity-work-pants#1002640 Author: Red

I've got my sister's old maternity pants, they're from Topshop in Ireland and they're gorgeous. You can't even tell they're maternity. No big elastic waist. They're lovely and low cut with an internal elastic built into the waistband. Look like regular pants.
You can shop Topshop UK online and they deliver to NZ.]]> Wed, 21 Apr 2010 06:57:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32961&PID=1002115&title=black-maternity-work-pants#1002115 <![CDATA[Black maternity work pants : Oh and for tops, long flowy baby...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32961&PID=1002088&title=black-maternity-work-pants#1002088 Author: HoneybunsMa

Oh and for tops, long flowy baby doll dresses are always good and double as a top. I had one from oz I wore until I couldn't. It's good being heavily preg in winter as you have your toaster and you can layer and do the dress over tights/pants thing.

You can also get away with the long knitted jumper and tights and the belt over your bump

Yeah...I used belly bands up until just a few weeks ago. They still work, but my tops are a bit shorter now (@ 29 weeks) so aren't as easy to cover...belly bands are kinda over priced for what they are, but cheaper than a few new pairs of pants....

Now I'm mainly wearing the glassons yoga track pants in the weekend, and for work either a pair or low waisted pants from glassons that sit below my bump or a pair from pp. (I know what you mean about the shiny type material...it's not my choice, but for temporary wearing they are fine and were on special for $25)...

I'm not using maternity pants either. I have luckily been able to use my pre-preggy work pants and fold the top down so they sit on my hips and under my bump.

I got underbelly pants from the warehouse that I wore up to about 7 months, then when they felt a bit tight I just wore Glassons yoga pants to work.

I got good work pants from the PP store in Westgate on special - but I also bought some work pants from Postie plus - not maternity, but they had an elastic waist and were perfect with long tops for work.

I got mine at the Warehouse!! Not my usual shop for clothes - esp maternity, but had a high waist - just like the pp ones and not too shiney - good luck on your search. Its crazy, I have a work uniform and the company that makes it does not have a maternity range , which considering our staff are mainly females 20 to 40 yrs is unreal!!

It seems impossible to find simple black straight or bootleg pants that aren't either cargos or high shine (current PP range).

Does anyone know of anywhere good to get them?
