Help - I'm a weeble on stilts!

Or at least I will be soon(ish). I'm 6ft tall with a 33" inside leg and 10 weeks pg. I've dragged down my old maternity clothes from the attic and they are dire, so I was thinking of getting some new trousers for work. I would normally look first at Next, less because I think the clothes are fabulous than because I know I can get long enough trousers at a reasonable price from the Directory. However, they seem to have stopped doing maternity trousers in a 33" measurement. I'm looking for tips on where I might find these elusive garments.

Also, I am in the middle of a tricky negotiation about my job at work and don't want my state to become apparent too soon, though my waist is already thickening too much for many of my usual work clothes. Are there any trousers available which aren't obviously maternity ones? Any other good tips on disguising the issue would be well received!

When I was pg I had jeans from Formes that were really long - I am 5'8, 32" leg and I had a huge turnup. So you might get something there (it was 9 years ago tho). Good luck!
