maternity trackie bums/ yoga pants

[Emmiedarling]

I'm 34 weeks and am planning what to wear in hospital after c-section and for the first few weeks mooching round the house.

I am aware that I'm still going to have a belly :/

Any suggestions of where I can pick up some flattering and comfy tracky bums/yoga pants would be much appreciated. I dont mind if they cost a little bit more if they are going to last.

Thank you!

I bought some comfy yoga pants from Dorothy Perkins online. They were only about £10 each and have a fold over waist band to accommodate after the birth.

Bumping this because I would like the same!

I got these last time round and they were amazing lovely but expensive lounge wear.

Sweaty Betty's also good.

I also bought a few pairs of wide legged legging type things in Primark's underwear section. Great for at home but don't think you could go further than the front gate in them.

I got some from H&M but they were on the sale - hope they still have them. Jigsaw also sometimes do some nice trousers with stretchy waistband, might be worth a look.

I've got the Dorothy Perkins ones too. They're really comfy! Managed to pick them up in the sale, but they'd be worth paying full price.

I found that i couldn't bend down to pull up/put on trousers after a c-section. I wore a long buttoned nightdress (not the granny type) and a long dressing gown (m&s) . I did however master the art of picking up things from the floor with my toes!! A skill that is a must after a c-section :)

Thai fisherman pants were great both in the last bits of pregnancy and post baby in hospital, as they are completely adjustable on the waist- good for bumps, sore tumm, and very very airy, good for letting the air flow (massive pants and maternity pads make it all a bit hot -tmi but true!)

Tesco actually have some very comfy yoga trousers & some soft stretchy pyjama bottoms. The pyjamas are v similar to the M&S ones but much comfier & cheaper.

I've currently got my 34 week waist stretching a pair of size 18s at the moment, they're so comfortable, and come in black with a matching button vest top.

Mothercare yoga pants £20 anf worth every penny soo comfatable. The have a fold over waistband which is really good. During the ladt few weeks if pg and first feew weeks after the birth I pretty much didnt have them on if I was out of the house (was pg in winter and they are a little lightweight) or they were in the wash.

I have alredy worn them this time around and Im only 11 weeks.

I've got a couple of pairs of sweaty Betty warrior pants that are great. Top folds over so at the moment goes over or under bump depending how I feel, and I imagine will be comfortable in case of c-section.

Sports Direct provided DD1s school ones. Nice and soft you'd just need a size or two bigger than normal.

M&S might have something mine are 100s of years old and still going strong.

Next catalogue had lots of lounge wear.

Thank you for all the suggestions. I shall get online and buy some tomorrow!

I had a lovely pair of maternity yoga bottoms from gap. I didn't end up doing much yoga in them but they were so comfy, I wore them lots anyway

I add my vote to Dorothy Perkins. After lounging about in them every evening I've bought a third pair a size smaller for post birth... :)

One thing you want to make sure of if you're having a C-section (and this goes for pants as well), is that the waist of whatever trousers you were goes well over your scar - high-waisted is good. I had a couple of pairs where the waistband would roll down over the scar which was horribly painful...

Rubbbish Dorothy Perkins ones sold out in everything but 6!

I swear, the best single item (items, because I ended up buying them in several colours) during and after pregnancy/C-section were yoga pants from the Gap Body range. They tie at the ankle, are made from soft jersey, and have a soft fold-down waistband you can wear over or pulled above your scar. I wore them all through my pregnancy and for weeks afterwards, and they expanded and contracted with me!

Thanks Peevish. I'll look now. So, they're not maternity? Just in the body range?

I've just ordered £9.50 M&S roll top yoga pants.
Had mainly good reviews on the website so I thought I would see what they are like.
I will check the GAP ones out too.

Are these the ones?

I love Manuka yoga trousers. They are soft, thick and wash/wear really well. I'm normally size 8-10 but bought a pair today in a 12. The waist band rolls down or up so I'm hoping the will work with a bump. The waist band stitching is nice and low so doesn't dig in. I got them from TK Maxx for £14.99 (RRP £46.00).
I'm only 13 weeks with my first baby so no bump or previous knowledge but hope this helps!
