"Remember to bring lots of apple catchers with you when you go into labour"
This is part of a humorous leaflet for pregnant women in the UK and I need to try and get the same tone across for Spanish women.

De acuerdo con lo que dice Charles.
Note from asker:
| ¿Y qué tal 'bragazas'? ¿Es muy común? Yo ahora estoy embarazada y vivo en España pero no estoy segura si esta palabra vale o no! |

: ¡Perfecto! Con un toque de humor, además. Sí que se llaman así. Fíjate que estuve a punto de añadir "como las que llevaban nuestras abuelas" a mi propia explicación, pero como hombre me sentía un poco cohibido.

bragas holgadas
Lo siento; no se me ocurre nada más gracioso, ni tampoco a mis asesoras (la ropa interior femenino no es precisamente mi especialidad).
Hay que tener claro que "apple catchers" no se refiere a un tipo de pantalón, sino de bragas: esas voluminosas, el polo opuesta de la tanga. Ver las referencias aquí:
