Did you buy new pants?
I am getting frustrated b/c many of my pre-pg shirts that now fit again are too short to completely cover the band on my maternity pants. Also, my maternity pants are also getting big and I feel like they are always falling off of me. I can get my pre-pg jeans on, but they are still a little too tight to be comfortable. I am debating on going and buying 2 or 3 pairs of jeans until they fit again. I have the same problem with my bras...the ones I wore when I was pg are too big, but pre-pg bras are too small. I am having a hard time finding a size that fits right.
Did any of you go and buy new jeans/pants so that you didn't have to wear your maternity pants anymore?

Re: Did you buy new pants?
I know this is the worst! I have to try on 5 shirts to find one that fits!
I bought 2 pair of non-mat pants when I started back at work (4 wks ago) just to get by. But...I'm sitting in maternity jeans right now. It's been a couple weeks since I tried on my regular pants. I stopped bf'ing almost 4 weeks ago and have lost some weight, so I think I might bust out the old pants and try them on again this weekend!
I figured if I just kept wearing them, I would have a little more incentive to lose weight. And I'm CHEAP!
I had to buy a few pairs for work since I'm still about 9 lbs above my prepreg. weight. That said, I just bought them two weeks ago, and they're already too big.
I'd wait as long as possible.
I bought one pair of slacks, khakis, and jeans one size up.
I officially started the "loose the bump" campaign on Monday. Alot of my clothes are very unflattering right now as well.
Yes, I caved and bought a couple pairs of jeans. I can fit in to most of my work pants, although they are a little snug, but I couldn't squeeze in to my jeans. I got 2 pairs of jeans at TJ Maxx for $30. They still don't fit quite right b/c I am in between sizes. I think my hips are wider now so if I buy jeans that fit my hips and squishy tummy, they don't fit my waist, butt, etc. and are falling down.
Also, my BBs are permanently bigger so I bought new bras and had to buy some new tops. I am at my PP weight so I am hoping that with time my hips will come back together and maybe I can lose some more weight and squeeze in to the rest of my wardrobe. I was rather fond of it and miss my cute clothes!
I am pretty close to my pre-pg weight (only a few pounds)...so I think I may be in the same boat as you.
our babies have the same birthday!! Although my DD was only 1 day late.
I'm having the same problem. I don't know if I should spend the money on jeans that may be too big some day once I'm back to my pre-pg weight but do I want to continue to wear maternity jeans. My doc said I may hang on to these last 10 lbs while I'm breastfeeding so I might need to buy regular jeans. I can't decide!

Yes. I am at pre-pg weight but my body shape is a bit different. My pre-pg pants just dont fit right.
I didnt really need to go up a size when I bought new stuff, I just needed different styles. Some styles fit better on my new body than others. I'm so glad I bought stuff. I have a pair of jeans I bought that I LOVE. They make me feel like I look fantastic when I wear them. I feel like such a slob when I try to wear my pre-pg stuff.
I stuck it out in yoga/velour pants until I could fit back into some of my jeans. Luckily I can wear whatever I want to work.
Although Spanx sound like an awesome idea.
