Maternity leggings for post C-section wear

I'm looking for a couple of new pairs of materntiy leggings that will also be good post C-section. Most of mine have a seam below the bump and I don't know if these will be comfortable against the scar? Are there any that don't have a seam below the bump? I had a C-section for my first but it was a heat wave so I wasn't wearing leggings and am not sure what I will want to wear this time (late Nov/early Dec). Ideally I want some maternity clothes that will be suitable immediately post-partum so I don't have to buy extra stuff for that awkward period when nothing fits

Spendy but Lululemon Aligns are fabulous for this. I have pairs going back to before I was pregnant, I wore them all through my pregnancy, post partum after my c-section and still have some pairs now even though it’s been 4.5 years since I last had a baby because they have exactly the right amount of stretch and really do hold up that well.

I actually found the new look maternity leggings to be brilliant. One year post partum and I still wear them all of the time :)
