AT 3 weeks I was on a mission to find nonmaternity pants. ?It took alot of looking but I found them so up until 3 weeks. ?I sometimes wear my maternity jeans though if the clothes are dirty and I'm just running errands.
Probably until about 6 or 7 weeks. They were just so much more comfy than my pre-maternity clothes, especially the jeans. I say wear them as long as you want!
Probably 3 weeks full time and up to 6 weeks before I was strictly in pre preg pants. It I wore tight pants for the first 6 weeks I would get a ton of pressure in my lady bits.
I hated maternity clothing and was so sick of it by the time that DD was born, that I didn't wear any of my maternity clothes after she was born. I got by with some yoga pants & sweats until my normal pants fit again. I was able to wear my old jeans about a week and a half PP.
I was on bedrest towards the end which put me in sweat pants. I am finally fitting BACK into maternity pants and shirts. So...I am at least happy about that! Will probably be a month until I am out of those.
i got into my prepreg jeans at about 10 weeks, but they have a bit of stretch in them. i'm still not in my prepreg work pants. luckily i have some older dress pants from back when i was much heavier, so i'm wearing them still. i have 8 pounds to lose still.
Well, I barely wore maternity pants as it was, but when DS was a month old, I went out to buy a new pair of jeans because the 1 pair of maternity pants I owned were too big, and I was still to big for my pre-pregnancy jeans.
However, I still spend the majority of my time in sweats/pajama pants, if that makes you feel better. They are just way more comfortable to hang out in.
I can only wear my pre-prg fat pants...not the normal ones yet! I was still wearing maternity pants...but I'm packing them up for storage. I think only being able to wear about three pairs of pants that fit will help motivate me!
I was able to wear my old clothes about 3 days after Lily was born. However, I only made it to 34 weeks, 4 days so I didn't have that extra 5+ weeks when the baby (and me!) would have really grown!!
I don't wear any except the one pair of pricey maternity jeans I bought. Jeans are one of my vices, and I spent so much on these that I will wear them as long as I can!
Mine were too big about a week or two after. I did buy a cheap pair of jeans at old navy that were 2 sizes bigger then my usuall. They are currently the only ones that fit me, BUT I have to wear a belt now!

I'm guessing this will soon be me... grrrrrrrrrr.
That's what I did. Although I think it was more like 2 months for me.
4 weeks and then I tried putting on my pre pregancy pants and they where huge on me
