Maternity jeans that aren't maternity jeans

I need advice about jeans please.
My abdomen swells and becomes very tender over the course of the day due to medical reasons, because if this I need some jeans that are super soft and stretchy and I dont know where to start.
Maternity jeans seem to come very high up and will be too loose in the morning and keep falling down however my normal are getting increasingly uncomfortable. It would hurt to use a belt so cant use normal jeans in a bigger size either.

Has anyone got any recommendations please? I am very body conscious so dont want to end up in leggings

Thanks

During pregnancy I used the H&M ones. They come with the upper part being a stretchy fabric that you are means to pull on top of your belly, but I never did that, I used to fold the fabric in half and keep it under.
You could try to keep them folded in the morning and as the day goes, pull up the front if needed.

I also went for h and m with the fabric that could go over the bump. The under the bump ones were very uncomfortable and I felt they were always digging in - or falling down.

As @LeGrandBleu said you can fold the fabric if you want to. I also felt the over the bump stayed up much better - but I do have short body - even a small baby bump was coming up high on me.

Oh I also had top shop over the bump and these were also very good.

Hi - the seraphine slim boyfriend ones are super soft and comfortable and the top but stays up very well - I bought them while there was no bump just a bit of bloating.

If belts are uncomfortable how about braces? I used them to stop the stupid under bump trousers I'd bought from falling down, wore them under my tops.

I love your suggestion @TheGhostofGlumy so 80s!!! Makes me think of Kim Basinger!!

@LeGrandBleu it was cheaper than buying new trousers, lol. Most of the time they were out of sight, but I did get then odd funny look when I went in for monitoring and had to unclip my braces first Grin
