Confession

in Pregnant after a Loss

We lost our baby when I was 5 months pregnant in August.  I was well into the maternity clothes stage.  I never lost all of the weight I gained in my pregnancy.  I didn't feel comfortable emotionally in my maternity clothes, but I certainly haven't been comfortable in my regular clothes.  I didnt want to buy bigger clothes as I thought it might be more incentive to lose weight.  It obviously wasn't.

DH and I are going to NYC for the weekend.  I'm 4.5 weeks pregnant and I just pulled out my maternity jeans and they are SO COMFY.  I'm not claiming I'm "showing" but just still a little tubbier than I was a year ago.  But its nice to be back in them, even if it is just for a few extra pounds.

    So sorry to hear about your loss.  We also lost our baby at 5 months in August.  I was really enjoying maternity clothes, but had to put them all away, because like you said it is emotional to be wearing them. 

     I haven't pulled my out yet, but am excited to need them again.   I think it is great you get to wear them again!  Even if you don't need them for a bump, you are pregnant!  Congrats

    I had an emergency c-section at 30 weeks last February and have an incision from my belly button down to my pubic bone. I lost a lot of weight right after the loss of my daughter but once I started eating again I gained more weight than when I was pregnant. I understand and I actually never stopped wearing my maternity pants-basically for comfort reasons.

    Embrace the maternity jeans and be comfortable!

    I lost our twins at 23 weeks.  I did the EXACT same thing.  I didn't want to buy new clothes because I wanted to lose the weight... I didn't lose the weight and can barely breathe in my jeans now.  I have been trying to wait a little longer to go back to the wonderful maternity pants, but I think you might have inspired me to make the switch :)
