Post 2 giant belly pregnancies and 2 c sections plus a previous scar on my stomach, plus medication that made me put on a stone in a spare tyre around my waist, I can't find any clothes that fit comfortably. My one trusty pair of jeans (size 10) are falling apart, the replacement pair I bought (size12) slide down constantly. Anything that fits round my tummy leaves a gaping load of fabric at the crotch as my spare tyre is around my belly button and under that is slimmer. Dresses make me look 9 months pregnant. Size 10 trousers squash my tummy painfully and size 12s gape. Loose elastic waisted trousers make me look very portly. Anything that sits low on my c section scar, or belly button level on my other scar, hurts a lot.
So, I'm a size ten top half and legs, size 12 around my stomach, size 10 again on my hips. If I measure around my belly button, some days I'm 34 inches, some days 31 depending on how bloated i am/ the position of Pluto relative to Donald trump/fuck knows. What on earth can I wear? I have literally nothing to wear on my bottom half at the moment apart from a pair of jogging bottoms.
Any bright ideas gratefully received, as are photos (I am exercising to remove the spare tyre but need to be dressed until that happens )

Well, what the heck can I wear until my pot belly disappears?
