Postpartum Size?

I know everyone's different but about how many sizes up would you go when ordering a dress to wear ~3wks-1 mo postpartum? I forgot because I didn't really even go outside for a month so I wasn't sure what my postpartum size was until maybe about month 3...TIA!!

    I think I was about 1 size up at that point.  I was still pretty swollen.  I know my dress for my friend's bachelorette party was 1 size bigger than my normal size and I wore that about 6 weeks pp.

    One size up might have been slightly tight at that point, but pretty much okay (with spanx!).  Sadly, I am still one size up......  :(

    1 size up was about right, but the real issue for me was that my body shape changed so much. I had (and still do) this floppy, pouchy stomach and it made clothes fit VERY differently.

    Yes THIS definitely happened to me too. Too bad they don't make postpartum clothes? Even nursing tops, which are meant to be for postpartum don't really fit me right but is comfortable enough that I put up with it =P

    Thanks for the all the input ladies!

    Maybe I'm a total slacker but I'm STILL 2 sizes up! It's so sad and discouraging. My stomach is UGH... not good. It still looks like I'm pregnant to me... like I have a 4 month pooch or something... you guys ar eway better than me!
