Hip size after birth?

KangarooMomKangarooMom
in Babies: 0 - 3 Months
I was just wondering if any of you ladies had noticed your hip size before and after birth? I am still having a 4 inch increase even if I can feel my hipbones again. Do they ever go back to your normal size again?... annoyed bc I'm no far from my prepreg weight but my hips are not lying....

    My hips are a lot bigger too. I've heard that around 6-9 months pp they get somewhat smaller. I don't think they're ever the same though

    All of my sisters that have had babies said that one day they will pop and hurt like the dickins for a few days...then your pants will 'magically' start fitting better.  maybe thats just my weird family, but I am looking forward to it.

    I have to go buy new pants 2 sizes bigger, which really sucks since all my jeans are nice and comfy and worn in.

    My hips are def wayyyy bigger.  I noticed this back when I was preg, my jeans all stopped fitting because of my butt and hips.

    My ass and hips got huge.  I went from a size 3/5 to a size 11 - and they are snug.

    With my first, it took 4 months for my hips to go back to normal. By that point I was 5 lbs below my PP weight so it definitely wasn't weight. I've heard that can be normal since your hips do widen during pregnancy. But, they did eventually go back to normal!

    This time around it doesn't seem as bad... but, maybe I just never went back to how I was before DD1, completely. LOL. I was able to fit into my pp jeans last time though, at 4 months.. so it was close :)

    Oh gawd. I think more than any other body change, hearing about this makes me really really sad.

    I've always had full and curvy hips...love 'em, but they make finding pants that fit right a literal pain in the butt....now your telling me they are gonna be bigger than before?Indifferent

    Can I just stay in my sweats forever now???
