Maternity Clothes?

So I can only fit into two pairs of my regular work pants.   I have only been back to work three weeks and was able to wear dresses the first couple of weeks but since Sandy brought all of this cold weather I needed to wear pants.   I have worn maternity pants everyday this week.   They are actually super comfy and don't fall down now that there is no bump lol.   I did invest in nicer maternity pants while I was KU so that helps.   Who is still wearing maternity clothes and if not what did you do with all of them? (Edit - I am hoping to get back to my normal size which is why I haven't got any new pants yet plus the ones I like are expensive)

Demodoll? - You must answer because I know you had one of the most extensive wordrobes!   Wink

Re: Maternity Clothes?

  • I finally gave up my maternity corduroys, they were so comfortable but they were falling down too much. I'm back in my biggest pair of jeans, hopefully I'll get back into my other jeans soon.

    I didn't buy a whole lot of maternity clothes. I altered a pair of pants and two pairs of shorts into quasimaternity gear. I still wear two of the shirts I bought but they were just a size up from my pp stuff. I put the two maternity tops away just because the weather has cooled down.

  • i'm still at home (got laid off a week after she was born) so i'm wearing pj's for the most part unless i'm going out.  I've packed up my maternity clothes and am keeping them in the garage untill we decide if we're going to try for a seccond later.

    will have to pick up a few things before going back to work as my pre-preg clothes don't fit very comfortably yet.  that or i just need to get my midsection back.

    I was MIA for a  while after Leah was born and didn't realize you had been laid off.   That stinks, but I would just take it as a blessing in disguise that you get more time with your precious little girl!

  • Today is my first day out of my maternity jeans. I've been wearing them every day and I finally decided to try on my pp jeans, even though I'm not back down to my pp weight, and they fit.

  • The only maternity clothes I wear is a pair of yoga pants. They have a roll down waist, and you can't tell they're maternity. I mainly wear them at home.

  • I've been out of maternity clothes for a month now but just today am wearing a pair of nice maternity pants cuz I needed nice clothes for my new job today and didn't fit in any of my others yet. I have two friends who are pregnant now so I've donated all my maternity shirts to them. I'm short and they are tall so they can't really wear the pants .
  • I have only worn a pair of maternity pants once in the month since Ive been back at work b/c I was feeling bloated and I had a pouch by the end of the day b/c I did not have to hold my abs in- needless to say I have not done that again since!  They are officially retired since I have about 6 pairs of work pants that fit.  I only had about 3 maternity shirts (only wore them the last month of pregnancy) and now they are way too big- they will all be packed away this weekend!

  • My sister is 11 weeks pregnant with her second, so I went ahead and loaned her all my maternity clothes. I've actually gained weight since having LO, so I bought new work clothes so I wouldn't feel like absolute crap going back to work. I can't even get my fat pants from before pregnancy halfway up my thighs! Even my maternity jeans don't fit.

    I hate my body right now, but at least I have a few cute new things to wear to work!

  • I'm still in maternity pants. I gained a lot of weight during pregnancy and still have 30 lbs to loose. Just bought some regular shirts though in size giant so my bewbs and tummy fit lol
  • I'm not wearing any maternity shirts, but not wearing that many of my older shirts yet, as some of them are tighter and my boobs don't fit and I don't feel that flattering around the middle. I am only wearing maternity pants (jeans and a pair of yoga pants) as well as one pair of track pants my mum bought me for in the hospital.

    I tried on a pair of my old jeans today for the first time ans was quite bummed I can't wear them. I got the button done up (barely) and could only get the fly half way. And now I have a lovely squishy muffin top hanging over them! SIGH I didn't even gain that much weight and am pretty close to my regular weight so I'm not sure what gives but it's not cool! -_-

  • I'm wearing pp pants but maternity shirts boobs don't fit in anything. When I do finish with these clothes, they're going in a bin in the closet for the next time I'm pregnant.

  • I am glad I am not the only one.  My stomach is flatter too but my hips are wider.   I cried the first time I tried to put on an old pair of jeans . . . and then I just got over it.  I had some that were kind of big before and I can manage to get in those but I can't wear jeans to work . . . bahh.

  • Maternity clothes are sitting in a pile on the side of my room.  I'm keeping them.  I gave all mine away last time because I knew I wanted all new maternity wardrobe if I got PG again, but I didnt think I'd be tight on money. So now I'm smarter and keeping them.  In case I get PG again.
