Still in maternity clothes?

Who all is still in maternity clothes? I'm 2 weeks and 1 day pp, and I'm still in maternity clothes. I havent been given the clear to exercise yet. But I can't wait. I'm so done wearing maternity clothes, and ready to be back to my pre pregnancy clothes!! Am I the only one? And if your not, when did you fit back into your pre pregnancy clothes? I know everyone is different but just I was just wondering.

I am 3wk3d pp and im still in maternity just because im loving the elastic band over my belly helps with the jiggle. I know on top I can fit into my regular shirts but my bottom my problem is just with my belly. I cant wait to tone back up!!!!!

I fit into my regular clothes at 2 wks pp with the loose belly though. I have a muffin top in my jeans but it's still just nice to feel like me again. I too am waiting for the ok to start working out.

I feel weird wearing maternity clothes, but I really don't want to buy much at my current size. I'm 35 lbs over the weight I feel most comfortable at, but don't want to diet either in case it screws with my milk supply.

I bought a couple pairs of capris for a trip we have coming up, but the only jeans I can fit into right now are maternity. My pre-pregnancy sweats fit but that's about it..

I'm still wearing my maternity jeans because of my c-section insicion, and then yoga pants. I went today for my 6 week PP appt. and I've lost all of my baby weight, but the weight I still have has moved to all the wrong places, so my pre-pregnancy stuff doesn't fit well anyway. Needless to say, I have done a little shopping so I don't have to wear my yoga pants everywhere I go.

I lost 15-20lbs right before I got pregnant, so I still have a lot of the jeans and stuff from my prediet body. They fit now, so i'm mostly wearing that stuff.

I am still in my maternity pants and jeans. Apparently I gained all my weight on the sides of my thighs because I can't pull up any of my pre-preg pants. Now I'm regretting my full panel maternity jeans! I'm wearing sweats at home and a lot of leggings and dresses out of the house.

Um yeah, my LO is 2 months old and I am still wearing some mat. pants. I'm also wearing my old pants with the be band or some in between size clothes I got a goodwill. I've lost most of the pregnancy weight, but what is left is on my hips and thighs, so my old pants are a no-go.

I am 3w4d pp and I am in-between my maternity and pre-preg. pants. It seems that I am holding weight in places I wasn't before, such as my thighs and butt! However, I refuse to buy new pants, it is just too costly (especially if there is a chance that I may fit into them again)!!

This... maternity pants are starting to fall off me now, though, so I had to break down and buy some regular pants at Target in my current size. Kinda depressing to see the number of the size I had to buy! The extra weight is definitely in my hips in thighs, so that's the area I'm going to have to work on.

I'm still in my maternity pants because though I lost all my pregnancy weight plus some I'm currently in between two sizes and cannot find any bottoms that fit. It sucks, but it's nice to have an excuse to not give up the elastic yet ;-)

One month today and still in maternity clothes. I'm almost to my pre-preg weight, but my body is just...different. A couple of weeks ago, I went to old navy and got some comfy non-maternity clothes to tide me over a bit.

I've been lucky and didn't gain much weight and am now smaller than in was pre pregnancy! I am wearing maternity tanks and ts though, however I LOVE the length of them a d seriously think I may continue buying them pp!

I am 4w pp and am still wearing maternity pants and tops. Between the incision for my c-section and the 4 incisions from my gallbladder surgery at 3ww pp, nothing else is comfortable. I weigh less than I did pre-preg, but with the incisions, I have not felt daring enough to try a tighter waistband. All my pre-preg shirts are in bins and I have not found the time to get them back out....

This... I can't even pull up my pants past my butt and thighs...but I am too cheap to buy new clothes...sigh I wear a lot of elastic skirts

I'm mostly wearing yoga pants and gym shorts type of clothes, but when I put on "real" clothes they are either maternity or clothes I was able to wear during the second half of my pregnancy, when I packed up all my regular clothes. I have not unpacked them yet, but I suppose I should get to that eventually.

I can't fit my pre-pregnancy clothes and I'm only 7 pounds away from my previous weight. My hips are wider now so I'm not sure if I'll ever get back to my old size. I'm about 1-2 sizes up in the bottom and then with my bigger boobs from BF I can't fit my size small tops anymore and had to go buy a few medium sized shirts....probably will need this new size for as long as I BF and my goal is one year.

Still wearing mine as well at 3 and a half weeks. I have two pairs of maternity capris and I alternate between those when I need to go out. Around the house I just wear yoga capris and and oversized Ts. My lower abodomen and incision are still just so tender that I can't imagine wearing anything else and being comfortable. I have a wedding to go to tomorrow and I had to buy a pair of dress pants that are really high waisted and button over the pouch. Anything cute cut me all wrong at the belly and would have been way too uncomfortable to wear. Needless to say, I left the mall very dissappointed and frustrated!!!!

I'm one pound away from my pre-preg weight, but NONE of my pre-preg clothes are fitting me, thanks to the lovely new mom-pooch I'm rocking. I haven't been out much, so I've honestly been living in nursing tanks and undies since DS was born (klassy, I know). If we go out, I throw on some gauchos or mat jeans and a mat top.

I'm thinking about hitting up Old Navy this weekend for some transitional clothes until I get back into my pre-preg stuff.
