Can anyone recommend suitable pants?
I am having my sixth baby, my fifth baby is not even one yet. My tummy muscles are not great ruined forever
My tummy is huge and flabby, are there any pregnancy pants I could wear to support me during the pregnancy without squashing the baby? I had csection last time and the scar is uncomfortable, I can feel it stretching so I am hoping this will help.
Thanks for reading.

Spanx do some maternity "shape-wear".

I wear mine over my knickers when I wear a dress. The material around your bump is quite stretchy but it smooths out the other lumps and bums that you don't want. See link below:

For the first few months... (ish) I wore some light "control" type pants (in a larger size). Bridget Jones style.... or really old fashioned ladies would call them "Roll ons" - however, make sure they're not that tight that you have to roll them on! ;)

Also... had one of these that my Mum bought me. I thought that the fasteners "down below" would cause hassle when trying to go to the loo, but whilst I was able to wear it without it squashing bump, I could manage to reach to deal with it.

The material is quite stretchy, so as far as I remember I wore it up till about 5-6 months gone.

The control pant things were a bit like this one...
(But I did get these in a large size than I normally need...)
Light-control

Hope this helps. :)

Bunny lion I have those spanx too! My bump is too small to be able to wear them (bump bit is all saggy with no tummy to fill it!) but am sure will soon be bursting out of them!

Thanks for my replies, they are very helpful I am going to order some tonight :)

I have the Spanx Maternity Short things. They are not tight around the bump so feel safe for baby but good support on hips and under bump. I feel better in them when wearing a dress though they are quite warm. Also I feel they come up big - I got a 14 in ASOS
