I feel like I'm in clothes limbo....maternity looks silly and my old clothes are still a little too tight. What did you wear until your clothes fit again? Or did they ever fit again? I get depressed every time I get dressed!
I was in pre-preg clothes two weeks after but I think after hearing many stories I was very lucky. You're only three weeks out though so give youself some time, everyones bodys are different. GL! You'll be back in your old clothes in no time!
It's only been 3 weeks for you! Give it time. i wore my maternity pants for a bit after and I had to buy new tops since my boobs won't fit in my old tops. I'd say the majority of my old pants fit me again.
Most things fit again around 3 weeks... I'm still trying to tighten the skin around my tummy so that my tight jeans will fit and so I don't get that stupid muffin top looking thing with my tighter shirts
BTW, and maybe I'm a freak of nature, but I'm only 5lbs away from my pre-preg weight but am nowhere near fitting into old clothes. My shape has completely changed - hips are definitely wider.
I still don't fit into my clothes. It really sucks. I get depressed every time I get dressed, too. It seems like my hips spread so much that I am NEVER going to fit back into my regular clothes.
Is this post FOR REAL?! Do yourself a favor and go buy some clothes that fit you right now. I had to do that and I'm still in them. I've lost 15 lbs but my pre pg clothes still don't fit.
Most of my tops fit now, NONE of my bottoms do. Most of the weight went to my thighs and bum (UGH!) so they'll prob never fit again! I'm still wearing maternity bottoms!

I am in the same boat. I am able to wear some of my looser tops, but none of my pants fit. I am close to pre-preg weight, but my body shape has definitely changed. I bought a pair of pants recently and had to get two sizes bigger than my pre-preg size. I am still wearing some maternity bottoms, but they are getting very loose.
i just tried on a pair of my old jeans that were a tad big...FAIL...cant get them past my mid thighs...i cant wear many tops b/c of my ginormous tatas..only a 36c, but a full c and im normally a 34/36b...at least my boobs stick out farther than my gut at this point...lol.

Bwahaha. I was a size 2 pre-pregnancy. I went to Marshalls today to try clothes on and I'm definitely a size 10. That said, I haven't even attempted to pull a pair of my pre-pg pants up past my knees. I've lost 31 lbs and still have 29 to go...oh, and had a c-section so I can't work out for another 2 1/2 weeks. Do yourself a favor and wait until the 6 week mark to try on your old clothes.
OMG. You're 3 weeks PP and depressed already. Don't put anything on til at least the 6 week mark. I was a size 4 pre-pregnancy and can fit into a size 10 with a muffin top. I go back to work in a few weeks and will be wearing maternity small pants and buying some larger tops because I was a 34C and am now a 36DD. I'm hoping by February -- 9 months after DS was born -- my clothes will fit again. That's a pound a week. UGH.

Not a freak of nature at all. While I was able to fit into a couple pairs of pants that I had worn pp right away, most of them didn't fit "right" anymore, and my shirts are all too short now and look ridiculous. My body just totally changed, even though my weight didn't.
I had my 6wk pp checkup today and im 5 lbs away from my pre preg weight but none of my pants fit yet... I was a size 2 ahhhh i'm starting to think thay might never look the same again haha ohhh well.
i lost 50 lbs after my first DS....so i have some hope!!!
I quit trying to put on my PP jeans..I actually cried everytime!! I went out and bought a few pair of jeans that fit me for now.. I can wear my PP tops still.
Re: When were you able to fit into your old clothes again?
tops just started to....bottoms still don't.... it sucks...
however, i just started a new workout in the am that i'm hoping will help!

I tried my reg. pants on at 10 days PP and a couple pairs fit, some of my tops still don't fit because my chest size went up.
I was able to fit into my jeans 2 weeks after. The first 2 weeks all I wore was sweat pants and comfy or nursing shirts.
