Post-partum wardrobe?

Comicfanh13

I'm sure my problem is one many new moms have: My body is SOOOOOOO different now from what is was before my pregnancy that NOTHING I own fits.

Ok, yes, my pregnancy jeans that are wearing thin still fit and some of my baggy 3rd trimester tops fit, but that's one pair of jeans and 5 tops, all getting worn. Even my nursing bras aren't holding up, and every time DS goes through a growth spurt where he starts pushing for more milk, mama-milk-cow's "num-nums" start falling out of the top of her bra cups every time she leans over.

I return to work next month, and I work a physical job. I lean over a lot.

If anyone has suggestions or links to good nursing bras for physical, working moms (especially curvy ones) and pumping-friendly clothes, I would be very grateful!

If you are large up top, I advise against Old Navy.  I was in a EE and am a size medium in shirts.  Their nursing tops showed full inches of my breasts, depending on the specific shirt.  I just wore normal shirts.  I wore a dress one t

If your job is very physical what about a sports bra ? I wear the Fiona style by Moving comfort to run. It has
