over the belly or under the belly pants...

Hi ladies, I am 14 weeks and will soon be buying my first pair of maternity pants. Just wondering what is more comfortable over the belly or under the belly?

With Over the belly pants you will be pulling  your pants up alot. It can be  anoying

I love that you asked this question... Thanks for all these awesome answers! I'm 15wks today and am also wearing some maternity pants. I think I like the over belly pants better for now because my under belly ones seem to fall very easily. I am also very tender across my abdomen and don't want anything touching it constantly.

The over the belly ones fall off me before I have a big enough belly to hold them up (around 6-7 months) but I wear them anyway. Lol under the belly is good if you have flowy shirts.

Over the belly! They are so comfy! I am 17 weeks almost 18 and dont need to wear maternity clothes yet but i have pulled out the pants already!  They are like wearing sweats all day! I had one pair of under the belly ones my first pregnancy and i felt like they were going to show parts of me that should not be seen! ;)  I did not like the low rise feeling.

I prefer over the belly ones my band goes all the way under my bra. my mom bought me Jessica Simpson Brand skinny jean maternity pants you cannot tell at all their maternity pants I love them and they're the most comfortable pants I have ever had

Over the belly for me!

I have both. The over the belly are good for the first couple months. I feel more comfortable.  The under the belly ones I have I can see myself liking them more when my tummy is more round and hard..i feel really self-conscious like I just have a flabby tummy hanging over them lol. I am 17 weeks and it's just etarting to harden. I hope that helps somewhat. Oh and the farther along I got with my first the more my over the belly jeans would just fall down! So yea.. i recommend a good pair of over the belly leggings and then jeans under the belly. Hope that helps some!

I am 14 weeks as well and have been wearing over the belly pants. One of my girlfriends says she likes both but all I have purchased so far is over the belly. The only thing I have noticed about them that drives me a little crazy is that if my shirt is a little flowy, it clings onto the fabric on my belly. But I do like the feeling of my pants keeping me from feeling jiggly, lol, not that I'm fat, but some days I just feel more squishy than others. I'd say buy a pair of both and decide for yourself. You may prefer one now and the other later or reallu have no preference. I have yet to find an under the belly pair. Most that I find are over the belly.
