Pre-preg size??? SOL

yourmom5309 · November 2009

I am sure this will receive a wide variety of happy and mean responses, but I am going to ask anyway. Are any of you back in your pre-preg clothes? If so, how long did it take for swelling to go down/lose remaining fluids? How long did it take to lose any extra pounds?

I was able to button pre-preg jeans this morning, but I looked like an add for muffin tops. I grossed myself out that I ripped those jeans off as quickly as possible. I know have time and just had a baby, but I hate being in the transition phase of not fitting in either maternity or pre-preg clothes - a girl can only wear yoga pants so long.

at 2 weeks pp I was still in maternity clothes.

Sunnie81 · November 2009

I still have some fluids I need to lose (mostly in the belly area) but I still like to use some of my maternity pants for comfort reasons, plus it kind of hides the "is she pregnant?" belly that I need to lose.

Hmm. Pre-preg clothes day after delivery. My stomach is still a little loose, but other than that I looked back to normal about three days later. I still don't feel back to normal though.

Soap1 · November 2009

I can wear all my pre-preg clothes but I def don't look the same in them as I did before DS!

dragon_chica · November 2009

I lost all my pregnancy weight plus an extra 5 by my 6 week check up. So yes I can fit into my old clothes again!

oak_lily · November 2009

I'm in my pre-preg clothing, but they are a little snug. I do the same thing almost every morning before work; I get grossed out and change shirts or pants. It took about 6 weeks to get down to this size. I'm still working on the extra weight.

CheekyMommy · November 2009

Here's the deal... IMO MOST post-pg women do return to the same weight, however, their body is completely different. Yes, muffin top is a major concern of post-pg women. Some, it takes years to whittle down to something that they're happy with. Even though you may be the same weight and are able to zip up the jeans, doesn't mean that those jeans will FIT you the same as before.

Now... please don't rock yourself in a corner and cry because of this. You're a mommy and you have plenty of time to get to what you're happy with.

eokorie · November 2009

I am and have been since about two weeks, but I have a little muffin top going on too. I think nursing her helped a lot.

I hate you - and I mean that in the most jealous, selfish way possible. Good for you though.

JenShea · November 2009

I wore pre preg clothes home.

MP&MP · November 2009

Nothing fits right. My shirts are tight on the chest and my pants still have the muffin top going on. My closed toe shoes don't fit and my wedding ring doesn't fit either. I am beyond a mess. The only thing making me happy is buying new clothes when I can afford it. I am really upset about my wedding ring though. Right now I am wearing a gold band that my mom gave me when I went to college in place of my wedding ring. Its better than nothing. I still need to lose ten pounds but its difficult since I am now back at work. Good Luck!

blondgurl · November 2009

Yes at 4 weeks I could. Believe me my stomach is not the same as before.I don't even know if exercise will fix it.

KSimone619 · November 2009

It took me 4 weeks to get back in my clothes

WildHorseFeathers · November 2009

I'm very close to getting back in my pre-preg clothes, it took about a week for the swelling to go away for me.

CheekyMommy · November 2009

Also... 3-6 is considering dowsing this thread in gasoline and lighting on fire. Stick out tongue

this. exactly.

Brooke208 · November 2009

I lost a lot of weight before I got pregnant for our February wedding. So right now I'm in my "fat" jeans. LMAO. I can't quite button my "skinny" jeans yet (well, I've never been skinny, but they are skinny jeans to me) but I think I'm getting close!

My biggest problem is that my lower stomach is covered in bruises from stupid injections I have to do and it's right where my jeans sit. YUCK. The waist of my jeans hurt!

mfransdell · November 2009

I walked in the Victorias Secret Fashion Show 2 day PP.

chelsearenee · November 2009

I havent even tried. My pre-preg clothes were tight when I got pregnant b/c I had put on weight before then. I still have 8 pounds to go so I dont see how they would fit. Plus, I love my maternity jeans.

I figured it would get some bad responses - but I was just curious.

LOL...I hate Heidi! Stick out tongue How does she do it??

arob2009 · November 2009

I haven't tried. I just got my wedding ring back on about a week ago though and that was a nice feeling!

Most of my pre-mat clothes are in the "winter" box as I boxed everything up that I knew I wouldn't be able to wear for awhile.

jhelly77 · November 2009

I was in my pre-preg jeans 4 days post partum. Some jeans look better than others depending on where they hit my waist. I still feel flabby which is what I expected.

Jocelyn0415 · November 2009

I've lost all of my pregnancy weight plus another 9 lbs. I can fit in my pre-pregnancy clothes, but my tummy is still pretty flabby at the bottom. I think it will be awhile before that goes back to normal...if ever lol.

Jessalicious01 · November 2009

i wouldn't dream of even trying at this point. My c-section incision is still way too painful to even use the half panel maternity jeans right now. I have about 3 pairs of pants I can wear and that is all. It's mostly PJ pants for me these days and I don't really see that it will be changing anytime soon.

This.

My body went through a 39 weeks of gaining weight and changing shape; the weight is not going to come off and my body won't return to its previous size/shape over night. I'm 10 weeks PP and yes, I can fit in my pre-pregnancy clothes, however, do some of them look appropriate? Not so much.

genwebb · November 2009

Somehow, I am in the best shape I've been in since college and 10 lbs below pre-preg weight. My mom said she was the same way -- I guess it's in the genes. My whole family is petite though. I'm going to use this as a jumping off point to train for next year's marathon.

Same here. But then again this is also the first time I'm not pregnant or on IF medication in a LONG time, so my body is also adjusting to that which I think it's liking. Although not all my shirts fit over my giant boobs. LOL

MissAmber23 · November 2009

I was able to wear my pre-preg jeans 5 days pp. Most things fit fine, but I still have the soft belly. I'm about 2-4lbs above my pre-preg weight, depending on what time of day I weight myself.

smilelari · November 2009

I am nowhere near my pre-pg size

Pennylane824 · November 2009

Some people on 0-3 want to set this post on fire too. Angry

I'm still 10 lbs above my pre-preg weight and wearing maternity jeans. They look better on me than regular jeans and I'm okay with that.

mcgee · November 2009

I am back in some of my "fat" non-maternity pants and most of my pre-preg tops.

BlairWaldorf · November 2009

HA.

yeah, no. I'm still swollen. I still can't get my rings on & you can't see my ankle bones by the end of the day.

I broke down & bought a pair of jeans 2 sizes bigger than normal today. My legs & butt fit into my pre-pg pants, but there's no way in hell I can even come close to buttoning them.

I still have roughly 20 lbs to lose before being at pre-pg weight.
