I use my Bee Band with all my pre preg jeans that I can fit over my hips but cant button and with too big mat jeans. But Im stuck on the shirts. I am with you, yoga pants and nursing tanks are a uniform at home, but when I go out I have all of 2 shirts I can nurse comfortably in. Both have the faux wrap style so I can pull on one side and get to my nursing tank. I pretty much avoid every other top.

I got some gift cards for Christmas and I know Ill never fully fit in to my pre preg pants because my hips are the problem, not my belly and those arent5 gonna go back down so Im definitely getting some new stuff. Probably gonna buy some nursing tops (nicer ones, not just tanks) from motherhood mat. with EBFing its just important to feel comfy nursing in your clothes.

I squeezed myself into my pre pregnancy clothes six days after having C (we're on formula now, so shirts aren't an issue). It's a tight fit and I'm using the bellaband to hide the loose muffintop, but I can't wait to get the maternity clothes packed up. It's the plan for tomorrow since A will be at daycare.

iluvmylab · January 2012

I'm in the exact same boat. I'm working out so I may tone up and lose a few pounds, but nothing near what I want to lose. I also will not restrict calories since I EBF right now. I have to go back to work on Feb. 20 and I know I will not have a big enough stash for him to get BM all day long, so I will probably start giving him a bottle of formula at night in the next 2 weeks or so. I don't want to make the switch all at one time so he doesn't get constipated, so I figured I'd gradually introduce it over the next several weeks. I do like BF, but I won't have time to pump at work and I'd like to lose some weight so I feel better.

Most of the time I hang out in yoga pants, although I did cave and buy myself a new pair of jeans in a size up since it was driving me nuts having maternity pants that I had to pull up every two seconds. I'm only 6 lbs away from my pre-pregnancy weight but my hips seem to be a lot wider, so I am in doubt whether I will ever be able to wear my pre-pregnancy pants again, regardless of how much weight I lose.

heatherjh · January 2012

I didn't gain much weight despite being a 2nd time mommy. I've been in my jeans for a week now

bttrflyhlly2003 · January 2012

I am back into most of my pre-preggo jeans, though a brand new pair I bought that are the same size as the rest of my jeans don't fit

Since LO and I spend most of our time at home I just put on some yoga pants and a tshirt or solid color pj bottoms and a tshirt. What's the point in sitting around in jeans all day and being uncomfortable?

rockychryslerb2010 · January 2012

Like pp, at home I'm living in yoga pants and nursing tanks with a sweater or fleece over top. When I go out I'm wearing maternity jeans and one of my maternity shirts that are easy to nurse in. I fit my pre-pregnancy shirts, but they are not very easy to nurse in. I'm not restricting or counting calories either, due to EBF'ing, but I can fit into my pre-pregnancy jeans with the belly band. I don't have to go back to work until the end of March, so I have over two months to get back into my pre-pregnancy work clothes.

GoombaGirl_79 · January 2012

My pre-pregnancy pants dont quite fit yet, but my tops do. My hips are wider than they were pre-pregnancy but my belly is all but gone. My little guy nurses REALLY often so all my calories are going right to him I think!!

Same as you though, 90% of my old shirts don't work with nursing. So I wear the couple of nursing tops I got the first time around with our first son.. and a couple of tops that "work". I really want to get some new clothes though.

Pants... I have one pair of maternity jeans that I bought and were too small about a week after I got them (got them at about 8 months pregnant). They fit nicely now. And then yes, yoga pants!

buttercup1221 · January 2012

I'm exactly like you except my shirts don't fit either. My boobs went from an A to a DD, do I bust out of all my tops. I'm wearing yoga pants and DHs shirts but maternity jeans & the one top of mine that does fit. I'm going to have to go shopping before i go back to work but want to give myself the most time I can to shed as much weight as possible.

jesselayne8 · January 2012

I am wearing yoga pants at home and maternity jeans out. I am so far from fittin into regular clothes that I haven't even tried. As far as tops go, I wear nursing tanks with cardigans or maternity shirts:(

mtb21:
I am only up about 10 lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight, but still don't fit most of my clothes. My shirts fit okay, but it isn't easy to nurse in them so I don't like to wear them. I live in yoga pants & maternity tanks, and wear my maternity jeans when I go out. I'm not going to restrict my calories because I am EBF, so it could be a few months before the weight is off. I don't want to buy new clothes, but my maternity jeans are hanging off me too. Ughh I wish I could just get my old jeans on, but I think I will just suck it up and buy a new pair that fits me now. Anyone else feel like this??

oh yes. you just described me to a tee except I'm still about 20 pounds from pre-pregnancy weight. I am debating one new pair of jeans for now

Happily Overwhelmed · January 2012

I had a c-section on the 27th. So far I've lost a total of 27lbs (I only gained 6lbs over the course of my pregnancy).

We had our first "family pictures" on Sunday so I went shopping for a new outfit at the end of last week. I was so surprised when the sizes I'm used to buying didn't fit anymore! However I'm not wearing my old jeans yet because of the incision . I hope to break them out soon...

Right now I've still been wearing my maternity jeans out. They are HUGE though... At home I'm in pajama pants. If the incision would heal I'm sure I'd be in my old clothes. With pumping so often my tops have all been a pain though. And there's of course still that lovely flabby tummy...so the baggy shirts have been my fav!

KatieMcClure86 · January 2012

Yoga pants, cami's with a zip up over them, maternity jeans when I have to although they fit like a trash bag now. My new hips won't fit into my pre-preg jeans and I'm still scared of zippers against my incision. I do have a bellyband to wear with my jeans but I just don't like where they ride or anything.

LauraR326 · January 2012

I'm back to my old clothes and have been since I've been home from the hospital. At my 2 week check up I was down 33lbs and I only gained 8 lbs my whole pregnancy. My jeans are a little big but nothing a belt won't handle for now . I'm not ready to buy new pants in case I grow back into them.

CarmonEdJ · January 2012

I have been able to wear my prepregnancy clothes almost right after LO was born. I only gained about 18 lbs. in my pregnancy. I currently wear a be band under my tank top and under my jeans to help smooth my belly out and hold it together, it still doesn't feel like it is completely back to normal. I was able to wear most of my pp tops all through my pregnancy. My Dr. gave me a brace to wear after delivery to help get my body back, and to help me feel when I needed to use the bathroom as w/o LO inside it would be a little while before I would feel my bladder when it was full. Many times I was told to go to the bathroom when I nurses and dr would check my uterus after delivery. It seemed to help, I wore it for about a week.

hcapes9 · January 2012

I have been in my pre-pregnancy jeans since the morning after Kennedy was born! granted I didn't gain a whole lot of weight and have lost a ton of water weight.

Jessie888 · January 2012

I am still wearing maternity clothes/jeans and I mainly wear nursing tops with cardigans and yoga pants. I gained A LOT of weight during my pregnancy. I have about 30 pounds left to go till I am pre-pregnancy weight. I don't think I am fitting into my skinny levi's anytime soon. I need to buy new jeans too because the maternity ones just keep falling down since I don't have the belly anymore!

ToastyToes · January 2012

I gained 44 pounds and within a week after having DD I'd lost all but 6. My stomach is saggy and weird looking and my hips seem wider, but I have worn pre-preg jeans out a few times with a BeBand to hide the muffin top. Mostly, I wear yoga pants, stretch pants, jeggings, nursing tanks, or some of DH's fitted button-down shirts.

I feel like a hot mess... definitely need to buy a pair of jeans and some nursing tops to make it through the next several months!

dondraandluis · January 2012

I fit in my pre-pregnancy jeans but pretty much wear nursing tanks and yoga pants most of the time because I'm lazy and that's comfy.

NoodleM · January 2012

I lost about 50 lbs last year but kept all my 'fat' clothes for when I got pregnant. I grew out of those pretty quick around 30 weeks. I only ended up buying one pair of mat jeans. I gained 60 lbs during pregnancy and I've lost 26 so far. I wear my mat jeans still due to this as most of my gain was late in pregnancy, and my yoga pants.

I can probably wear tights and boots now again too, just haven't tried. I wear my bella band still to keep my stomach looking flatter as it looks like a saggy mess still (but getting better each day)

I fit in all my pre pregnancy shirts, except now I look like I've had a boob job because I'm a DDD instead of a D. I fit in NONE of my old jeans.

mbf124 · January 2012

I'm mostly annoyed by the shirt situation. I hate nursing shirts/tanks/bras, but that's all I can really wear right now. I can't wait until the 6 month mark when I plan to stop nursing and I can get my old boobs back and wear my regular shirts!

indomesticbliss · January 2012

Yoga pants and nursing tops with cardigans over them. I'm 5 lbs above pp weight, I gained 30 lbs, and with 2 kids under 2 I have zero desire to wear jeans or dress up, though I'm 90% sure I could fit into my pp clothes.

I'm in love with pea in the pod nursing tanks with lined cups. Dh got sent on a tank top run and bought one in every color. I'm also loving some gillian omalley tanks target carries, the looser ones with buttons, for sleeping, again with cardigans.
