Can you wear your pre-preg clothes yet??

Jess4481 · October 2009

How long did it take you? I'm wondering if I'll be back in my old work clothes by January 1 when I go back or if I will need to buy more. I know everyone is different but things are moving along very slowly!!

BetsyDavis · October 2009

I can. I was still wearing mine till about 2 weeks before I had her. THey were just a little tight on the belly.

Akaysha · October 2009

I've lost a lpt of weight, but nowhere near my old size. Just got the ok to start exercising again so hope that helps more...it could take awhile

christin3580 · October 2009

I can... I gained 60 lbs and have lost 40 so far.... so I am guessing its only going to get better from here on out... All my rings fit and my thighs are starting to not touch now YAH!!!! Stupid Pre E

I can fit into 3 pair of my pre-pregnancy jeans...but they are stretchy so that's why. I'm down 26lbs, but my stomach is still all flabby (2nd baby) so I'm still working on it! It still feels so great though to be able to breathe at night and sleep on my stomach...and pick up my toddler w/o my pregnant belly being in the way

I still have about 12lbs to lose. I broke down and bought a pair of jeans and a few pair of pants a little bigger. I hope to be back in my old clothes soon but it makes me feel so much more confident in how I look to have clothes that fit.

Most of the weight came off easy and fast, I have just 1-2 lb to go before being pre preg weight and it won't come off, lol. I am wearing my pre preg jeans and could get them on about 4 weeks after delivery, they are a bit snug, but they fit. I think it all depends on how much weight you gained and your body/metabolism. Are you planning to BF? It didnt work out for us, but that is supposed to help with losing the weight.

I was in pre-pregnancy clothes within a few weeks. But some of the pants are still just a bit tight. I wouldn't go out and buy new things until closer to January.

t.bird · October 2009

indeed! i jut pulled my pre-preg pants on this morning & gave a WHOOP when they actually fit!

abrix96 · October 2009

I can fit into 2 pair of my work slacks and one pair of my jeans, but they were all a little big before.

JuliaKL · October 2009

i can fit into my looser fitting things -- the pants that were on the bigger side and the shirts that are loose. i cannot fit into anything that was fitted, mostly because of my flabby belly, i.e. it will fit, but i have a terrible muffin top! i'd wait until the post-christmas sales to buy anything new!

AutumnBride929 · October 2009

I can wear shirts (I wore pre-pg shirts throughout my pg, lol) but I can't fit back into my jeans. I haven't tried fitting back into my dress pants but I'm sure it's the same story. I go back in about two weeks (booo) so hopefully they fit again soon!

jhelly77 · October 2009

Yup! Dress pants are a little snug and have 6lbs to lose yet but I don't think I'll have to buy any new work clothes thank god!

hurricaneb-2-b · October 2009

3 weeks PP I was back in my jeans...luckily by 5 weeks I had dropped all the weight.

SAMANTHAGP · October 2009

I'm about 5 pounds over my pre-pregnancy weight, I was able to fit into my jeans about a month after I had DS. Granted the fit is still a little tight, I did not buy any new pants. If I am really uncomfortable, I don't wear that particular pair of jeans/pants. Also I found that wearing that band helps me feel more pulled together.

Mama Angelina · October 2009

I am 9 wks PP and I can't fit back into my pants yet. Some tops, yes, but none of the bottoms. Then again I was a size 0 pre-pg and I gained 57lbs... Indifferent

So far I've lost 35 and I just recently started exercising again. My goal is to make it to a size 2 or 4 and stay there. You can do it, esp if you're BFing! GL--I find this stage is frustrating because I can't fit into anything.

MrsPreK · October 2009

I could 1-2 weeks after giving birth. I refuse to wear pg clothes. Absolutely refuse.

dle927 · October 2009

I lost about 30 of my 35 pounds that I gained. Even so, my rings still won't fit. AHHHH!

I haven't tried my jeans yet because I don't want them to touch my incision. I'm getting closer to working up enough nerve to try them.

gumiberg · October 2009

no, because my hips are wider. i am thinking they may never go back?

Brownie_222 · October 2009

Nope...not even close. I gained 35 and have 15 to go. And I'm BF. It is depressing.

water-fairy · October 2009

I still have 9lbs to lose but yes, I can wear my pre-pg clothes (and I mean pants), it has been like this for over a month now.

Soon to be Mrs. Topper · October 2009

Yes....I lost all of the weight within a month. I was really surprised on how fast it all came off. I'm a firm believer that breastfeeding should get most of the credit!!

LI444 · October 2009

No

I gained almost fifty pounds and have only lost about twenty five of them. I doubt I'll be fitting into anything but my huge sweatpants (that I bought pp) for a while.

lovesazzie · October 2009

some of the tops, yes. none of the pants. I'm 4 sizes bigger in pants.

kbeth0310 · October 2009

I gained 35lbs & have lost 20 so far...but am nowhere near getting back in my old jeans. Its really frustrating; old jeans wont come up past mid-thigh but maternity jeans fall down when I walk. I started talking LO for walks last week & am waiting for the 30 Day Shred DVD I ordered to arrive...hoping that helps. I want my body back!

Same here.

Shlei · October 2009

I can fit in most of my stuff. My business pants are still a little tight though.

mel.mckinnon · October 2009

Yes! I gained 30 pounds and have lost all but 4 pounds of that weight...I'm sure it's because of breastfeeding.
