pregnancy pyjama puzzle

Can anyone recommend comfy, warm, stylish, cheapish pjs - preferably available online? Am nearly 25 weeks pregnant with twins and having a nightmare as so far have outgrown my usual ones, have outgrown maternity ones in my usual size and have outgrown "normal" ones in a couple of sizes bigger than I usually take. Problem seems to be the trousers in that if they cover the bump or some approximation thereof they fall down and most just dig in under the bump. Didn't have this problem last time round so must be carrying very differently. Don't want to go for nighties coz a)they're not warm enough and b)want to try and breast feed the babies when they arrive and don't fancy trying to feed 2 babies with my nightie up round my ears . Any suggestions gratefully received.

Don't lahugh but try Lands End tI loved my ones when I was pregnant.

Mothercare do BF nighties, they go down to your knees.

Also i like the pjs with a vest, trousers and a wrap around cardi.

Five go mad will check out Lands End.
Scorpio - currently in the vest/trousers/cardy thing which were lovely for about a month but trousers now no good and top bits hanging off!
Hedgewitch - sadly don't have any supermarket selling clothes nearby, mores the pity!!
Thanks for the suggestions so far, any others gratefully received. I'm usually a size 8 so guess the bump is now just disproportionate to everything else - probably why I feel like a weeble.

I tend to slouch around in stretchy black trousers from M&S like these. If you get a bigger size they go right over your bump. I have been living in them for the past weeks (am 36 weeks pregnant).

falling at "cheapish" hurdle, but really pretty if that matters to you hot milk do maternity/nursing pjs. i haven't tried them but their bras are great and a huge relief from standard nursing offerings.

I still live in my maternity trouser from Mothercare (the Moda black ones don't seem to be on the website any more but similar ones here'' or here

I had several pairs as I couldn't bear any kind of pressure on my bump (and now can't on my waist as have gallstones and am very tender) but always got cold in underbump styles. These have a soft jersey panel over the bump so warm but not restricting. I wore them in the day but then inevitably after a while they would shrink in the wash so now I wear them in bed (they're a bit short in the leg but who cares, they're still comfy). I think the prices aren't too bad as an investment if you find them comfy.

Also I just wore normal pj tops when bf'ing (the kind with buttons but not buttons that would be sharp or uncomfy for a baby, that way with a vest under, I could just lift the vest, undo the top 2 or 3 buttons and bf without freezing....

La Redoute have a good maternity range.

I'm living in DH's cotton jersey pj trousers from M&S - they go right over my bump and stay there nicely. I just wear a big t-shirt and cardi on the top (as M&S don't seem to sell a top to go with them)
