Maternity Gardening or Trade Trousers

I’m hoping somebody can offer a solution.
I’m a full time gardener and newly pregnant. In the summer I usually wear zip off walking trousers for work, and in the winter i’m in cargo/trade type trousers.
Neither will do up at the moment, but I’m struggling to find decent looking maternity trousers which can do it all. I’d love zip off leg ones so I don’t need to buy 3 pairs of trousers to last me ~6 months.
has anyone found a good company or pair that they would recommend?
Hiking trousers, Trade Trousers, Walking Trousers, Gardening Trousers, or just general outdoorsy trousers?! Bonus points for being zip-off knees!!

I was a full time gardener and pregnant and I couldn't find any so hopefully someone more helpful comes along, I'm afraid I was in super comfy stretchy leggings with pockets for my secateurs 😅

Hahahaha. I’m glad it isn’t just me then! Hoping I can last out till shorts weather in the worst case..

Yeah its hard to find good women's gardening gear at the best of times I find, let alone maternity! I spent most of my pregnancy in the glasshouses at my place of work as it was lighter work but my god what a sweaty time of it being heavily pregnant in summer in greenhouses 😅

So true, I’ve found one pair of maternity ‘trade’ trousers but they’re over £150!!!!
im hoping to be in charge of weeding and dead heading for as much of the summer as possible 🫣
not sorry to be missing out on lawn mowing 😂

How do you feel about dungarees😬🤔 the type with buttons at the sides can last quite a while and come in cropped varieties. Long time since I was pregnant but I had some denim and cord ones ..........other than that elastic waisted cropped joggers (with tie cords so buy extra big), plenty at sports direct with cargo style side leg pockets for, your secateurs, which is what I tend to wear now in the summer for gardening.

Hmmm 😬 not a fan. Plus the toilet issues would be a whole other thing!
I think I’m going to end up with drawstring cargo pants or leggings.
Just emailed Jojo Maman Bebe to ask them to make some 🫣 all forums seem to say there are just none out there 😭
