Well, I have learned in my recent foray into maternity wear that I'm an "over" not an "under" person as far as my comfort level with pants, skirts and other bottoms go. I didn't realize this until recently so, some of my first purchases are a bit uncomfortable.
Case in point, the Lucky brand jeans I got which do not show the large elastic band and go under I find uncomfortable because I have to keep hiking them up. I'm going to try wearing them with a bella band or a longer camisole and see if that helps. Retail: $140
My favorite pair of jeans right now are a Liz Lange pair from Target. They are comfortable and has a visible elastic band which is a demi-band which does not cover the whole belly but comes up to the belly button.
Retail: $20 (They were on sale)
My current full coverage "comes up to my boobs" practically are a pair of cords by Mimi maternity. Since they cover my whole belly, I feel comfortable. The cut is contemporary boot cut and the band is comfy. I'm wearing a maternity turtleneck over it and because the maternity tops run longer it covers the elastic part.
Retail: $24 (not on sale)
So, ladies, if you're beginning to buy maternity wear, try to figure out if you're an over or under earlier in the process as not to get things that are uncomfortable and won't see you through the pregnancy.
