Hey all! Just wondering if you have favorites for loungewear- like drawstring pants you wear on weekends to lounge? I'm sure I will only want to wear comfy clothes after the baby when I still look pregnant--- any suggestions?
I have a pair of VS Pink drawstring sweatpants that I can't live without. I've been wearing them throughout my entire pregnancy. The only downside is that they're thin which is fine for spring.
Depends...I have my going out lounge wear (that I wear Saturday and Sunday) and my home lounge wear. My going out lounge wear is yoga pants and giant hoodies, my home lounge wear includes pajama pants and big huge t-shirts....
I look all sorts of classy. With my DD, I started to wear DH's clothes because they were just that much bigger than mine.
I got some very fashionable spring sweatsuits from Walmart. They include Capri sweatpants and a zip up short sleeved hoodie. They are as spectacular as they sound... But very comfy! Old Navy Maternity also has some nice maxi dresses on sale right now here in Canada.
The basic maternity tees at Target are pretty wonderful. They have multiple colors and are only $10/each.
I also bought some maternity sweatpants from there but it was a couple months ago and I don't think thry have them anywhere, they are awesome. I got some cropped sweatpants from Old Navy that I wear tons as well.
Target's black "workout" pants and capris are my favorites. I am tall, and their tall fits great. I usually get semi-fitted, so they have a little flair at the bottom and aren't too fitted. I've also found drawstring pants and capris there, both of which I love and wear daily.
Old Navy leggings. Sometimes pj bottoms from the few pairs that still fit. I'm still wearing my pre-pregnancy tees for lounging around at home, but I wear them over a long tank or cami.
Besides lounge/yoga wear, I have a (non-maternity) t-shirt dress from Old Navy that I just bought one size up. It's super comfy; I wear it with maternity tights (thicker cotton ones). It's long enough to cover my butt to mid-thigh, but really it's just like wearing a t-shirt with tights, but more appropriate.
I even wore this combo to work today, with a belt at my "under boob" waist that's left and a nice scarf. It was like I was wearing a t-shirt with no pants ... at work!
I got a good deal on yoga pants in the Macy's juniors section. They're just like the VS Pink ones but like $11. They've held up really well too. I did have to size up to a large from a small/medium though.
When I had DD I wore primarily pajama pants at home and maternity pants to go out. I was wearing maternity clothes for 4-6m PP until I could fit in my regular clothes again.

Pajama pants and t-shirts. You don't want to wear anything bulky up top if you're trying to nurse. Something with easy access to the ta-tas. And for my c-section, I didn't want anything tight against my scar at all! When I went out, I would wear basketball shorts anda t-shirt for a while. Then wear maternity pants until my regular pants fit.
A pair of underwear and a big shirt. If I could I would go naked. I hate clothes. But when I go out I like this maternity shirt and pants my friend gave me.
i've pretty much been living my my full panel gap maternity leggings and maternity tanks. the super soft cotton is nice and vlexible, and the full panel makes me feel secure that my pants aren't falling off.
Any type of dress. The Gap pure body line is SO soft I bought several night gowns from there that are perfect for nursing around the house but will look cute with a nursing tank underneath with a cute cardigan. I hate pants right now...

Old Navy full panel maternity yoga pants! They are my weekend uniform, and I even wear them as real pants sometimes - if you dress them up they almost look like work pants. Haha
The vera wang pj's/loungewear are super soft and comfortable. I bought a bunch of those sets for the hospital and home after DD arrives. When I have to run errands I'll throw on my maternity leggings or yoga pants with a t-shirt or a jersey knit maxi dress
Mostly cotton pants/leggings or PJ bottoms with a t-shirt or sweatshirt. For leaving the house, I've mostly worn maternity jeans and tops. Nothing fancy here.
It’s not that I don’t like you, it’s that I don’t know you. Stranger Danger.
On weekends if I am going out shopping or to a movie, I wear yoga pants and a tee shirt (either maternity or DH's running shirts.
If Im done going out for the day, I will wear DH's boxers or pj pants and one of his larger running shirts.
No bra is comfy anymore so those come off as soon as realistic, along with anything tight around my belly.
I am so jealous of the no bra thing, my pre pregnancy double d boobs hurt all the time to the point I can't stand leaving them unwrapped at all I change right from regular bra to sports bra
I'm living in my pajamas these days. Yoga pants, super loose / long tops, and a sports bra if the tatas need some support. When I go out, maternity jeans, long shirts. I'm a little more worried about postpartum clothes since I've basically worn my pjs into total disrepair over ten weeks of bed rest. I'm going to have to buy more at some point but I'd like to see how my body looks after baby.

I just discovered my OHs basketball shorts. I look like a hobbit with high waters on when I wear them, but they are so comfy. He wants to tease me when I have them on, but he's learned at this point in the game to keep his mouth shut.
I love yoga pants. I have maternity ones from old navy that are great, but I wish they came up higher. I also have target ones that I bought in my regular size in the pains section that I just unfold over my belly. They are both great!
