I'm borderline between pear and hourglass. My measurements are 36-26-38. I don't know what jeans would suit me. I'm 5'7 and average weight 130lbs. I have kinda chubby thighs and muscley calves.

Those are almost my exact measurements.   I wear the Ann Taylor Loft curvy fit jeans and they fit me perfectly.    I love them!!

At 5'7 you are pretty average height. So I would not recommend going to a petite cut, go with a regular length. The Apple Bottom jeans are very generous in the hip/thigh area and they also tend to come up a little higher so you don't emulate a plumber everywhere you go.
Try to find a jean with some spandex in it so that the denim can stretch where it needs to. That will help you in the other areas where you do not need in stretch too.
