I've just got past the sage of fitting into anything I actually own and made the grave mistake of buying a pair of maternity bootcut jeans that make my thunder thighs look like tree trunks and really are too flared for me.

Any suggestions welcome :)

Another vote for H&M for comfort but they are ridiculously long, I had to shorten mine! (I got the over bump style) though I have slim legs and don't find them as fitted as I would like.
Picked up some under bump boot cuts from primark for £5, bargain! Perfect length and fit around the thighs but the band is an odd shape/size and folds over on itself after 5 mins so digs in to my bump Confused if I could put the comfy over bump band from the h&m's on the primark jeans they'd be perfect!

I bought 2 pairs of the primark boot cut ones today. For a fiver each you can't go wrong. Lovely fit, flattering but come up massive compared with their black skinnies.

Debenhams Red Herring - brilliant. Bought two pairs - and decent price. Also useful that they have a belt loop to deal with your various sizes.

Definitely serephine if you can afford it. (Although I got mine off ebay) and mammas and papas.

Avoid new look and next maternity. Load of crap.

im 34wks & now hate my topshop Leigh & Baxter under bumps. I bought my usual size 10 and they cost £40ish each. They NEVER stay up. constantly pulling them up & they crawl up your calves too. now my legs are swelling each day from being up & about they are even more uncomfortable. will be listing them on ebay to get rid. cant believe I wasted near £90 on them. h&m are good but I found them very long legged, im usually a 30" leg.
unrelated but got a nice pair of "South" plum coloured linen trousers off Very website in a size 12 with a soft jersey stretch waistband. I was previously a 28" low rise size pre pregnancy. These fit perfectly& have a drawstring for tightening after birth :)
