Review: "These leggings are so super comfy and made well. I would say the hump band is a bit too big for me and I could have gone down a size but will fit as I grow. I am 5’9 and the length is perfect for me."

Are you someone that really feels the cold? These thermal maternity leggings from Seraphine will be just what you need when you're heading out and about on chillier days. They're matte and opaque on the outside with a cosy fleecy finish on the inside so they'll definitely keep you warm.

Totally opaque, you can wear these leggings all day throughout your pregnancy without worrying that your bump or bum are showing through the fabric. They’re really soft and comfy, easy to wear while out and about, or just at home, softly encasing your bump.

These were tested by our very own Sophie Knight whilst 29 weeks pregnant: "I love these leggings (no pun intended) and find them super soft and great quality. They don't go see-through and one of my friends thought I was wearing jeggings, not leggings. Given lockdown, I have pretty much worn a pair of these every day for the past 4 months; I have just started to notice a few holes emerging on the thigh seams, but given how often I wear them, and compared to the quality of other leggings, this isn't a surprise. Plus they're a great price so I don't mind buying a couple more pairs to see me through to when baby arrives."

If you're looking for leggings that feel like underwear but you can still get away with wearing them with a jumper or oversized shirt, these Spanx leggings will give you support and coverage while keeping you feel sleek and comfy. The waistband goes over your bump for ultimate support and you'll be happy wearing these long after baby arrives. The lack of front seam makes them especially comfy in the camel toe area...

These MAMA 2-Pack Jersey Leggings from H&M are perfect, and you get two pairs. They are made from soft organic cotton jersey with a wide bump band at the waist for a more comfortable fit. Plus, there are a choice of colours, if you want to mix it up from just plain black.

One review said: "These leggings are pretty much all I have been wearing throughout my pregnancy. They are super comfortable and go right up over my bump, so the waistband never digs in or gets uncomfortable. And they’re just a great basic piece to have because they can be paired with anything. The only thing I noticed is the legs are a bit long, but I’m on the shorter side so most things tend to be a bit long on me."

These super comfy over-the-bump leggings are a favourite for maternity on Amazon. They're so easy to wear every day and come in a fab range of colours.

Squat-proof and flattering, you can wear these casually or for your workouts.

Review: "I'm very particular when it comes to choosing the right pair of leggings and now 4months pregnant I'm even more, but I couldn't be happier with these babygo leggings.
Fit well, super comfortable and not see through. I want one in every color! "

Review: "Bought size 12 long and they fit perfectly - love the length (I’m 5’11) and they’re incredibly comfy. Lots of room for bump to grow and they look fab on. Would highly recommend!"
