Calling horsey mums - maternity breeches?!

[Petrie]

I'm 15 weeks pregnant (yay!) Can still fit in my normal breeches at the moment, but clearly may not for much longer, so was wondering what other pregnant people rode in?

I guess I could go down the leggings route, but I find anything other than fairly robust breeches with sticky bum bits give me rubs. And I have grown reliant on my sticky bum bit, anything else feels too slippy. Can you get maternity breeches?!

Stop eating cakes...

Buy some hipster breeches and do them up under the bump

to start off with i bought larger size jods then went onto wearing jogging bottoms i found these really comfy to ride in and carried on riding up to 8 months gone

It's 10 years ago now (OMG where did the time go) but I got some Shires pull on johds that just has a jogginb bottom type waste so got them in a large and they worked a treat.

look for the 'pull up' style of breeches and jodphurs, these tend to be made of knitted material and have a lot of stretch

I wore my musto snugs up until I had to stop riding at 8 months. My friend bought Shire pullups as suggested above.

The cakes are demanded by the baby, Embonaught, nothing to do with me. haha.

Thanks all, I'll look into the pull on, jogging bottom type - yum! Just as long as they don't only come in cornflower and cerise.

Encouraging to hear a few of you managed to keep going until 8 months - well done, gives me hope!

Hiya, I've been wondering about this too! At the moment I'm just wearing my two pairs of jods which have no zip/fastening and just elastic waists. One is a lightweight cotton stretch pair, I think they're Equetech kiddies!! And the other pair are Musto snugs...

I begged, borrowed and stole from everyone who had a bigger size.

The hipster idea sounds good, I would just want to put a big pair of supportive pants underneath, for the bump.
