These are perfect - just the right size on the first guess. I bought 2xl and I normally wear size 16 jeans from the plus size store Avenue. Every time I try a pair of jeans, they are too small on the middle section. But not with this style. They are soft, stretchy and don't pull down. I'm not pregnant, but the stretchy stomach area sounded perfect since I also buy larger jeans to fit me, and then they sag down from the waist or the waist has such a large gap. They are very long, BUT I'm only 5'3. So, that's kinda just my situation. But you can google some hacks on easy shortening of jeans. They came fast in the mail as well.
