To me, pregnancy has always looked like a most uncomfortable time for any woman to get dressed (as if it wasn’t traumatic enough on fat days already).

Seeing as I get angsty after eating too much pasta and grouchily dress myself in elasticised pants for the next three days, I can only imagine what wardrobe problems nine months of an expanding belly would cause.

However this month Jeanswest has good news for expectant mothers with the launch of its maternity denim range.

There are two fits in the range - Stretch Bootleg and Slim Straight. Each features a multi-task belly band to accommodate your growing stomach as well as a mock fly detail and traditional five-pocket styling.

The price is also good news - who wants to pay top dollar for something that won’t be in your wardrobe rotation forever? You can get one pair for $65 or both pairs for $99.

The range is launching this month.
