C-section and huge pants

I'm having my second section in about 3 weeks time and need to find some huge pants that won't sit on my scar. I had some when ds was born last year but threw them out. Can anyone recommend somewhere to get waist high massive pants? I tried M&S but they have obviously updated their image and they told me they don't do them anymore.

Yes - As previously quoted - I got 3 in a packet for around £2-£3 in Tescos - very comfy strechy cotton. Still wearing them 7 weeks after section!!!

Mrs D, I know, I know - they are revolting to look at. But in my defence they were THE most comfy things ever at the time.

I just took some of DH's pants - big ones, those sort of fitted boxer ones. The waistband is very high, and they're a bit more modest than even giant woman pants.

Oh, and the catheter went out through the fly. Very practical.

Okay chonky, given the circumstances we will forgive you. But only this time

Next time you'll be reported to the hip hugger police!!

Thanks everyone. In the end ds2 arrived 4 weeks early (last week) and I had him vaginally so no need for huge pants. Hooray!
