MWOB-how long until your clothes fit?

How long did it take before you could pack up the maternity clothes? Is it the same for a c-section, or is there more swelling in the abdomen?

    4-5 months after my c/s I was able to wear clothes with a zipper again. But not my old clothes.i wasn't able to lose any weight after DD. Hoping to lose wt after this baby.

    My DS is 2 weeks old and was born by c section. I can wear my regular shirts now and I can fit in my pants. However I don't wear the pants because it hurts my incision. It completely varies on your body though. I'm really lucky post partum

    I can get into some of my pre-pregnancy clothes now, about 2 weeks postpartum. I wouldn't say they "fit" though. I don't know if they ever will fit quite the same - my whole body shape has changed.

    I'm back in my regular shirts, and can fit into my jeans, but they hurt my incision. They also fit differently, I'm not sure how to explain it, but they don't feel the same.

    A long time. I generally wear a size bigger in shirts while I'm breastfeeding and it takes monnnnnnths to fit into my jeans again because of my hips. I'm pretty sure actually I've had to buy all new jeans each time.

    I'm 2 weeks postpartum and I'm in regular shirts. My pre pregnancy jeans fit but were tight and my maternity jeans were too big so I bought 2 pairs one size up from my normal size. I didn't gain a ton of weight while pregnant so I'm lucky. I think it really depends on your body shape and how you carry extra weight.

    My tops fit, I'm in nursing bras, and I can wear my fat pants. I'm 2w out on Monday.

    See I'm in that between period, the pre-pregnancy are too small and the maternity are too big. I really don't want to buy a new wardrobe!

    I bought a few pairs of pants a size up last time and it was a good decision. I was much more comfortable.

    My sweatpants and athletic pants are fitting just fine these days. :) Don't hate but I have lost 30 pounds and I will be 2 weeks post partum on Monday and I only gained 17 during the pregnancy. Everyone will be different.

    That is really awesome!

    Since day 8 here. I didn't get that lucky the first time, though.
