When did you go clothes shopping post partum?

I thought that I would be able to fit in my 3-6 month maternity jeans/pants once I had the baby. Well I guess all my weight went to my hips and thighs because they don't fit.

I hate to go shopping only 3 weeks post partum but I only have one pair of maternity jeans that fit! I can't live in sweats for the next month I will lose it!  Just curious how long you waited? I don't want to get a bunch of stuff and it not fit in the next month but I also don't foresee myself losing a bunch of weight any time soon :(

    i shopped about 3 or 4 weeks pp. ?i was sick of wearing maternity clothes, sick of wearing sweats... i needed to feel like pre-preg self. ?i bought a few pairs of jeans at a steep discount as well as a few light-weight sweaters. ?

    I wore stretchy stuff/maternity clothes for the first 6 weeks (while on my maternity leave) then went and bought a few things to go back to work. 

    But, I wouldn't buy too much cause now DD is 6 months and those things I bought are too big, but my pre-preg stuff is still too small.

    1 week pp after DS1 i bought pants from Target + Old Navy, 3 pairs total, alll cheap and totally worth it.  Even after the pounds are gone, it takes a while for your hips to return to size.

    I went at like 3/4 pp.  I couldnt take it anymore!  I just went to tjmaxx and got a pair of jeans for like 30 bucks.  Still wearing them today.  I also had to go shopping again for work clothes once that came around.  I dont think I'll ever fit back in my pre-preggo pants.  My hips got wider.  GL

    Ditto. My body shape is totally different. My hips included. I think i might just hit the racks at TJ Maxx or Ross for some stuff to tied me over.

    I didn't go shopping until 3 months- before going back to work.  I lost all the pregnancy weight- per the scale- but still nothing was fitting like it used to so I needed a size bigger.  I steadily lost weight each week without doing anything really and by 2 months all the pregnancy weight was off.  I wore sweatpants and sleep pants almost every day while home on maternity leave and had a pair one pair of maternity jeans from the gap that I wore when going out.  Don't worry yet, it's still early the weight will come off.
