There are so many lovely pregnancy outfits these days that you could easily take her shopping and treat her to something which will cover her modesty better but still be comfortable. What about a lovely loose dress or even a long flowing top which she can wear with the pants she finds comfortable but which will cover below her bottom. Tell her you want to treat her because you love her.

Buy her new, larger and comfy pants!
Tell her you don't want her to stretch out and ruin her favourite yoga pants for after delivery, she will probably want to wear them then too.
If she doesn't buy that excuse, you can tell her you noticed her current pants seem too small and that she could be revealing more than she intends to. I agree with Honeypie, dont tell her others have noticed. Just say you noticed.
And remember to tell her how beautiful she is.

She shouldn't be squeezing herself into her normal sized clothes, it's fine for a few months but then gets seriously uncomfortable. I'm 6 months pregnant and out of nowhere my bump became significantly bigger and it actually would hurt if I wore my old clothes for too long. Leggings I can get away with by tucking them under my bump but I wear them with a loose dress or long, loose top.
Don't let her walk around unaware her leggings are creating a camel toe look, it is very strange getting used to an ever growing body so just tell your partner that the leggings look unflattering and suggest she orders a few basic items that'll be comfy to see her through the rest of her pregnancy. I got a few nice things brand new for maternity wear but did manage to find deals in ebay too!

Oh, and I forgot - DON'T TELL her that OTHERS noticed, tell her that YOU noticed. That way she doesn't feel like you "let" her run around in public with a huge front wedgie!

Get her some CUTE (one or 2 sizes up) yoga pants or take her shopping for some. And let her know. It's NOT like SHE can see for herself so she DOES rely on you to tell her this.
Of course the clothes it getting tighter!
If she doesn't WANt bigger pants or a couple of longer tunic then go pressure her for it. She might not GIVE a flying fart about the "camel toe" as long as SHE is comfortable!

Of course tell her that other people seem to be noticing. You can tell your spouse this sort of thing. It's like having a piece of lettuce stuck in your teeth. It's better to know than not know.
I don't understand why she feels self-conscious about being pregnant. What could be more natural?
If she wears a longish T-shirt over the top it should cover the loin area. Easy!
Buy her a pretty new one.
