Where over-bump maternity jeans use a stretch panel that sits on top of the bump, Blooming Marvellous's under-bump style takes the opposite approach: a soft, wide waistband that sits just below the bump line and relies on the jeans' own stretch denim for room, held up by the bump itself. Some people find this genuinely more comfortable, particularly later in pregnancy when an over-bump panel can feel restrictive; others find under-bump styles slip down without a bump to anchor them in the early weeks, so it's worth knowing your own preference before committing to a pair.

Versus the JoJo Maman Bébé leggings in this category, jeans are the more work-appropriate, structured option for days you don't want leggings, at the cost of the give and total comfort leggings offer for the second half of pregnancy.

What we liked

  • More structured, work-appropriate look than leggings
  • Under-bump band avoids over-bump panel bunching for some people
  • True-to-size denim stretch holds shape well

Where it falls short

  • Under-bump fit can slip in the earlier weeks before the bump anchors it
  • Less total stretch and comfort than leggings by the third trimester
  • Not suited to everyone's bump shape — worth trying before committing
