That's because with maternity clothes, the cut is different to allow for hip, butt and thigh expanditure that usually accompanies many women's pregnancies. I bought a pair of GAP maternity jeans in my regular size and wore them a lot from 16-28 weeks. Now, at 31 weeks, they're a little more snug than I would like. I bought the next size up and while they're still a little big, they're so much more comfortable! You're already uncomfortable enough while pregnant, clothes shouldn't make you even more so.
