Im 22 weeks today and im not big at all, but found myself getting uncomfterable in my regular jeans from the stomach area only, juss bc it feels like bloat and tight on my stomach, especially the higher waisted ones or ones with more than one button, i unbuttoned them at work the other day and it was juss sticking out, so i used a rubber band to secure it like this n it actually worked😂 so now i put them on in the morning n use a hair tie, it works well, to me its not worth it to buy maternity jeans juss bc first off i cant even find my size, and im not gona go buy multiple pairs for my tiny ass belly, but maybe in the future when im way bigger i will. N ur shirt covers it so dw u dont look tacky lol!
