Postpartum clothing for short people

Hiya - this is my first post so a bit unsure what to say really!

I'm a FTM and 27yo and would like to start getting some clothes for the postpartum/fourth trimester stage. I've been feeling really low about not feeling able to express myself in maternity clothing so would like to find some nice stylish but comfy bits like trousers, flared leggings etc but I'm so short (5ft) that I can't find anything suitable. I don't really want to go for tight leggings as they're just not my cup of tea. Any brand/shop suggestions?

I'd also prefer not to spend a bomb but really would like to start feeling and dressing like myself again! Being the first mum in the group and in my twenties has made maternity style leave me feeling like trash 😂

Same height here. I found I did fine postpartum (after the initial few weeks) in normal clothes just a few sizes bigger than usual. EBay/vinted were good for things I’d only be wearing for a few months.
