I bought these slacks at about 15 weeks pregnant and didn't bother reading the reviews. I was desperate for work clothes that would fit and be comfortable. First time I wore them the adjustable elastic in the side came unstitched and came free from the pants. It was at that point I looked up reviews and saw many other people had the same issue. I kept the pants anyway because they were comfortable even without the adjustable elastic. But, at 21 weeks pregnant I am finding that once again the other reviews are right. The thick elastic band running along the front of the pants is very uncomfortable as you get further along in pregnancy. It doesnt matter where I place the band on my tummy - it is tight!  All in all, the price was good at the time, but I didn't get more than a months use out of these pants befor they have become useless.
