Another csection question from me - when did you feel comfortable wearing "regular" clothe

GE · August 2011

I've been pretty much living in loose pajama type pants. It will have been a week tomorrow night. At what point did you feel comfortable wearing tighter pants? I want to be able to go out in public!

I'm 7 weeks pp and just put on a pair of regular pants today and I still don't feel all THAT comfortable.

No way I'd be able to wear jeans still...

Almost at 4 weeks and I'm still wearing my maternity shorts and dresses because it would hurt to wear my regular clothes.

i'd say at least 8-10 weeks before i felt "normal" but i still cant wear jeans cause they dont fit

I've worn jean shorts or jeans (in a bigger size - I was a little heavier a couple years before getting pregnant) starting at about 2 1/2 weeks PP, but the zipper does start to bug my incision after a few hours.

I am 2.5 weeks out and still wearing dresses, and PJ and yoga pants.

I'm able to wear my regular shorts now but they rub my incision and just aren't comfortable yet so I'm still wearing maternity shorts. I'll be 6wks pp on Wednesday.

I didn't put on regular pants (non elastic waists) until at least 6 weeks. My incision area was just too sensitive for me to feel comfortable.

I'm only 9 lbs above PP weight and still my "reg" clothes don't fit well around my belly and waist. I'm still wearing mostly maternity shorts and bottoms and regular tops that are suitable for nursing. I have worn my PP skirts though.

Not until probably 8 weeks. Even then, I was still wearing some maternity pants because my regular pants were uncomfortable. I am 12 weeks pp now and I feel fine in regular pants.

lbursey · August 2011

Around 3-4 weeks I started wearing my looser fitting shorts / capris. Around 5 weeks I started wearing my regular jeans. Now at 7 weeks I can wear anything without it bugging me.

havayoohoo · August 2011

i am actually 5lbs less than prepregnancy weight and my old pants dont fit lol. i guess its just the distribution of the weight from the pregnancy lol. i am 3.5wks out from my csection and i have been wearing my full panel maternity pants and shorts still just so i can pull the band all the way over the incision...i feel most comfortable in those but hopefully soon i can start wearing other stuff...the area above my incision is very strange feeling, sort of numb and sore still lol.

eternallyelegant · August 2011

At about 6 weeks or so my panties felt okay to touch my incision but other than that, I don't wear anything that fits without stretch because I still CAN'T fit my pre-pregnancy clothes.

SyrKristina · August 2011

I've been wearing my pre-preg clothes for about a week now. I'm mostly comfortable except my jeans waistband hits that numb area above my incision.

Mrs. Alice · August 2011

I was comfortably wearing maternity jean shorts a few days later. None of my old regular pants or shorts fit me again yet, but I'm sure they wouldn't bother me if they did. I bought a bunch of light cotton dresses that feel wonderful and are flattering during my "in between phase". I've also been wearing my maternity yoga capris and shorts.

AuthorMama · August 2011

Probably not until 8 weeks PP - I just resigned myself to wearing black stretch pants out of the house that didn't look too bad.

d6u23e11 · August 2011

I was in pre-pg jeans for sure by 2 weeks pp. My incision was too sore at 1 week, although I prob could've fit into them.

Um, fingers crossed, any day now! When I want to go out, I put on my maternity jeans or a dress, but I wouldn't say that I'm comfortable. Far from it actually. I'm just taking it day by day. I much prefer wearing yoga pants anyway! Gotta look for a positive, right?
