WinterRaven: I got DH to measure me and I'm at the lower end of an XL but the recommendation is to get the size down if this is the case. Did you find getting the larger size gave you more flexibility?? I'm not expecting to loose too much weight (apart from baby weight) after the birth as I have only put on 13kg's so far for this pregnancy and none of that has been on my body - it is just all baby weight, so maybe I should opt for the bigger size.

Also did you start wearing them immediately after giving birth (maybe not the first couple of days) or did you wait a week or so until all the post delivery swelling etc went away? I'm thinking that if I do get them that I probably won't start wearing them until I get home from hospital after I have recovered some what from the c/s.
