Gemma Mid-Rise Maternity Shorts

These were great for vacation at 23 weeks pregnant! I had trouble styling with the right top but we were at the beach so a bathing suit top did the trick most of the time.

Go-to summer maternity shorts, comfortable and stretchy

comfy

Look great with everything, very comfy, a little on the short side

These fit really well considering the fabric isn't stretchy---just the waistband part as you'd expect. At 24 weeks I anticipate being able to wear these for a while longer.

Pre-pregnancy size fit fine but wasn't the most flattering in the legs or comfortable once I got closer to 34 weeks. The waist had stretch but still felt like it was cutting into my belly after wearing for several hours.

Overall could have gone up a size. 29 weeks pregnant.

I normally don't have this issue with shorts. My legs were squished into these and I couldn't wear. I would size up for sure. Cute shorts wish they fit

A great maternity shorts option. I felt it was true to size and made me feel good that I could button shorts for the first time this pregnancy. I wore when I was 16-18 weeks along.

Too short and tight on thighs

I agree with other reviews that it become more difficult to wear these as the belly grows because there is not much elastic for stretch. I used my usual size in Hudson which fit even at 28 weeks but it was somewhat uncomfortable sitting for prolonged periods of time

So, lots of other reviews mentioned that these shorts are better for second trimester, and I ignored them. I figured "well, my bump isn't THAT big" and the vacation I chose these for was the very beginning of my first week in my third trimester. Turns out I am not actually as smart as I think I am. The shorts *fit,* and I could get them buttoned, but they weren't super *comfortable.* After the first couple hours, I just left the top button undone and pulled my shirt down over the fly. It's not an issue of size - the 27 fit perfectly around my hips, but the stretchy panels built into the sides are just not big enough / stretchy enough to accommodate a third trimester bump. (Wore these at 28 weeks, somewhere around 131 - 135 lbs.)

Not the most flattering if you have bigger legs. Seemed like they ran a little tight around the legs. Just didn't love them but they were fine.

At almost 35 weeks these did not fit me and my bump is not that huge nor am I a large person. Recommend sizing up if you want to get these later in pregnancy.

these were so so tight and i ordered one size up than i nromally do

Ran very small and low rise.
