    Help! I'm 6' tall and am struggling to find maternity pants for work that are long enough and don't make me feel like a whale!

    I've tried Old Navy, Gap, Target. Any other thoughts? I don't want to pay an arm and a leg for something I'm only going to wear 4 more months.

    I know Motherhood carries size long maternity jeans. Maybe try there?

    I just bout some at Motherhood in tall. They are perfect! They were having a bogo half off sale so I bought 2 pairs and they cost me $50 for both. 

    I'm 5'10" and can wear a heel with them.

    I'm 5'10" with a 35" inseam and the Motherhood longs actually work for me. I can't wear heels with them, but I don't want to right now anyway! Also, Victoria's Secret has great fold down yoga pants that come in a 36" inseam--I LOVE them and the fold down part can be folded down under the belly, or you can actually flip it up and it's a panel!

    Yup, another vote for Motherhood here!  They are very limited in the work pants department, but they are like $32, which is way less than I was paying for my pants for work pre-preg. 

    For reference, I am also 6' with usually at least a 35" inseam.  I can wear flats with them and they are plently long.  I will say that the quality of the work type pants compared to the ones that I have from The Limited is not even close, but I bought two pairs and hope that they will get me through my pregnancy without wearing out!

    Good luck!

    I bought a couple pairs of jeans from the Gap that I love, but I know you didn't see anything there. I'm 5'11" and they are long enough.

    I have the Motherhood jeans, but they haven't had any long work pants in the store when I've been there. I'm part of their VIP club, maybe I'll see if they can give me a call when they get some in. I've been hesitant to order online, because if I return to the store, I only get store credit. But really, odds are I'd use the store credit at some point. Maybe I just need to bite the bullet . . .

    And I ordered a pair of Gap cords that worked great, but the work pants were too tight in the thighs. I told my mom today that if I don't find anything, I'm going to the old lady section of the department store to see what they have for regular pants with elastic waists Smile

    For any other tall ladies out there looking for maternity work pants - Gap has 3 more styles on their website today that are available in "long". I ordered 2 of them :-)

    And they're on sale (even better!)

    @bells: I've been meaning to check out their webiste, but it's blocked at work (which is a little strange) and I keep forgetting to look when I get home. If the Gap ones don't work, that will be my next (last?) stop. Then it's dresses and skirts.

    Just wanted to say thank you to you ladies for starting/commenting on this! I am so worried about finally getting into maternity pants (I'm only 10wks) b/c I can only wear long or x-long jeans and work pants. This is helping me out a ton!! Thanks!

    Have you checked out Long Tall Sally?  

    This has the Canadian pricing, but they do have a US site and delivery.
