did you wear maternity clothes after baby's arrival?

blessourlife · October 2008

if so how long did you wear it for?

I have VERY lil fall maternity clothes and it's already in the 60's here and I really don't want to spend on clothes that I will only wear for 6 more weeks so I was wondering if you wore maternity clothes after baby was born.

I wore mine for a couple of weeks. I had a c/s and they were much more comfortable than anything else I had.

I still do because my pre-pg clothes are just a little tight and they cause contrax. I have 4 pounds to go and I am hoping they will fit correctly once I lose this weight.

I think it will depend on how much weight you gain and how much your body changes. My stomach was never firm, but my skin is now more loose than ever. Think deflated belly.

I never wore any maternity after either of my kid's births.

TMs1stBaby · October 2008

I wore mine for my entire maternity leave, so 6 weeks total.

smacb · October 2008

lhuttlinger · October 2008

I did for about a week or so, but my weight was coming off extremly fast. I wore like sweats and whatnot until I felt better...

carrann82 · October 2008

I wore maternity for about 6 weeks after birth. I went out and bought a few pairs of pants in a bigger size. ::sigh::

I still have about 10 lbs to lose.

I wore mine for about 2 weeks. Partly because DS was in the NICU and I did not go to my home ( I stayed with my parents that lived only 1 mile away from the hospital) for 2 weeks.

I'm still in maternity pants and my daughter is 5 1/2 weeks old.

I wore them for 5 weeks..especially my gauchos because my c/s incision was tender for a long time. Still is if I over do it some days : /

But after the first 3 weeks..I was sort of in between : / maternity clothes were a lil too big but comfy and my regular clothes weren't quite there yet. I think I told you I could wear pants with bella band and I could wear all my pre-preg. shirts within 3 weeks.

I wore maternity clothes for about 6 weeks. I ended up joining WW to get the last 10 lbs to come off. Now I'm in my pre-preg clothes.

Coleslawcat · October 2008

I am and likely will be for another month or so. Last time I wore maternity for about 6 months. I was being stubborn and didn't want to buy clothes in a size up from my pre-preg weight. I finally caved at 6 months because I was so sick of them (it was just maternity shorts/pants). I did get back into my regular size, but it took until about 11 months pp, probably because I gained 60 pounds my first pregnancy.

ketamarie · October 2008

still in them 7 weeks pp. I will probably go out and buy some bigger clothes next week.... Sad

I still have a lot to lose!!!

Cin.NJ · October 2008

I was wearing my regular jeans (although a little tight) after about 8 weeks, but I was still wearing some maternity shirts until last week! ?My belly is much "poochier" than it was and my pre-preg shirts aren't long enough to cover it so I feel comfortable - I went out last week and bought some new longer shirts.

wishin&hopin2008 · October 2008

I am still wearing some of my shirts because they have easy access to the breasts which is good for BFing. I wear my maternity jeans when i am lounging because of their comfy elastic bands.

votive-vixen · October 2008

Still wearing mine now, but the maternity clothes I wore when I first started wearing maternity. Not the clothes I wore at the end of pregnancy.

mgra328 · October 2008

ugh. DD is 4 weeks today and i haven't a prayer of fitting into my pre-pg clothes. i don't remember with my boys how long i wore them for. either way...i see the gym and WW in my not so distant future. Crying

pamela-matt · October 2008

Sure did...there is no way this big a$$ is fitting into my pre-pg clothing.

mattnlinz03 · October 2008

My jeans I only wore home from the hospital and then I was done with them. I was in pp jeans by 2 weeks. For shirts I was BF so I mostly wore tanks and low cut shirts, but no maternity shirts after he was born.

Buckets of Moonbeams · October 2008

i did not. but i didn't even start wearing maternity clothes UNTIL 34 weeks, and i really needed them for those last 6 weeks. those last 6 weeks are when you'll grow exponentially, so you might want to think about picking up a few things to get you through to the end.

MammaMia73 · October 2008

My friends and I all had our babies around the same time. We're between 9 and 12 weeks post partum and all of us are still wearing some maternity clothes. Me b/c my boobs are HUGE and my old shirts don't work, my friend b/c although she's lost a ton of weighther belly is still poofy and not comfy in pants and my other friend b/c she's not dropping the weigh quite so fast (she looks phneominal though - she was just really thin pre-pg)

happythoughts1 · October 2008

I wore my yoga pants for a while, and lots of nursing tanks. I was in my pre-pregnancy clothes fairly soon, although I still have some shirts that don't fit, even though I weigh less than I did pre-pregnancy. I'd wait and see!

spunkielexis196 · October 2008

I finally got out of my maternity pants as I refused to buy bigger pants, my shirts I could still wear them as I'm bf, but I just got bigger shirts.

mrsjenni · October 2008

Yep, I still wear a few maternity pants for work b/c they're super comfy. I'm in between sizes. My regular stuff fits, but they don't look to good yet...

OUMedBride · October 2008

I'm still wearing some maternity pants at 6 weeks pp. ?My regular pants fit, but they're not super comfortable yet, which matters since I'm still on maternity leave.

AB&TB · October 2008

I am still in my maternity shorts, and my XL tank tops that I wore as maternity clothes. I am 11 weeks pp. My belly is still poochy so I cant see wearing my little t-shirts and tigher shorts. I still have 7lbs to lose from this pg, and 10 lbs to lose from my previous pregnancy.

Been wearing some of the for four years now! I don't care! And I lost a lot of weight to weigh less than I did pre DD but I was still wearing the comfy maternity pants from target!
