pre pregnancy clothes

Stevens627 · September 2014

is anyone in their regular clothes yet? I go back to work in a week and i have nothing to wear... i have lost all but 5lbs of my baby weight but nothing fits! its like all my weight got redistributed to my belly.

lest12 · September 2014

I still have 8 #'s to pre-pregnancy weight but I agree. It's all now in my belly.

sjn00 · September 2014

I fit back into all of my pre peegnancy clothes but my hips are still a bit larger than they were.

kd&cd · September 2014

My belly is preventing it! If my belly wasn't holding into the weight is probably be in a smaller size than my pre-preg clothes!

tbmadeamistake · September 2014

Tops I can for in, pants I can't. My hips are wider and the fifteen or so pounds I have left are all in my belly, butt and thighs. I'm not going back to work but I did cave and buy a pair of jeans and shorts.

Katieluc106 · September 2014

I was back in them when I left the hospital. I'm 2lbs away from my pre pregnancy weight. All I've been doing is eating cookies. Seriously idk how it happened. With DD1 I gained 15 lbs after baby.

Cherylwang · September 2014

I fit in some of my ore pregnancy clothes but they don't look good on me anymore. My boobs are huge which makes my tops too tight. My hips are wider so I can't button some my pants comfortably. And dont get me started on my belly pudge!! Oh yeah and I'm maid of honor in a wedding in 3 weeks. I hate the way I look right now I have lost all my pregnancy weight but things are just not the same. This is my 3rd baby and I'm 35. So I think it's harder the more you have and older you are too.

jenlynne0624 · September 2014

I fit in the vast majority of my pre-preg clothes and have since a week or so PP, but my hips are a smidge wider (as if they needed to get wider), and my boobs are massive. So anything that buttons or dresses that zip don't really fit passed my waist. I haven't really tried on any of my pencil skirts or anything yet. I am not excited to do so since my belly is still soft. I don't like the way I look in some of my clothes.

Abenedict2011 · September 2014

I fit into a few tops but that's about it. I lost 25 initially but haven't lost much more since. I bought a few bottoms that fit so I can be comfortable. Plan is to get back on WW in October but afraid it will affect my supply(ebf)

lest12 · September 2014

@Cherylwang‌ - I'm MOH in my sister's wedding in 2 weeks. Ugh, but looking forward to it (the dress part, the wedding will be fun).

JujuB22 · September 2014

Ha I wish! 30 lbs to go, and every time I start trying to exercise and diet I lose my milk supply. I plan on hard core dieting in November when LO is 6 months old, and if my supply dries up then we will use the freezer stash.

Taymiller · September 2014

20 pounds to lose still. I feel like my pre pregnancy pants will never fit again. Ugh this is depressing, thanks for starting this thread

elsa1688 · September 2014

I still have 10-15 lbs and I think it's almost all in my belly

( my old jeans will fit but not button. I bought a size up and they are way too big every where but the waist. This sucks.

Savvy122 · September 2014

I'm almost back at my PP weight but my regular clothes still don't fit right. It's almost as if I lost extra weight in my butt and thighs and not enough around my tummy. So I have to choose to either wear pants that fit my lower half and rock a muffin top... or wear pants that are comfortable around the waist and pull them up over my ass all damn day. And most of my shirts are too snug because of my giant milk boobs. I don't know what I'm going to do when I go back to work and I have to wear something other than yoga pants and wife beaters.

Dharmatron · September 2014

LOL, nope! Thankfully I work from home so I'm in maternity pants and baggy shirts or just a nursing bra all day.

jclester614 · September 2014

I am 8 weeks PP and have about 30 lbs to go... So, no, nothing fits right. Last night I was holding LO on my belly and realized that 30 lbs is three of him... How is it possible I packed on three of him?! I guess it's deceiving, since I don't feel that much heavier.

: ) Oh well. I am working PT from home and in the "IDGAF, I just had a baby" camp.

curlylocks3 · September 2014

Am I the only one who hasn't really tried prepregnancy clothes yet? I'm still happily living in sweats at home or if I go out, maternity clothes.

emslade982 · September 2014

There's a few pre pregnancy stretchy shirts that fit but pants? Forget it. I always had a flat stomach and tiny waist and that's gone now even though I've lost 30 of the 45 lbs I gained. Oh well. My LO was so worth it!

mrscbrad · September 2014

I still have 10 lbs to go but I'm pumping so I assume when I stop bf'ing it will get easier. Nothing but my yoga pants and some dresses fit because apparently my ass and thighs are still pregnant. I don't really care. I'm at a healthy BMI now so I'm trying not to cry over my vanity pounds.

Stevens627 · September 2014

I really hate to buy a whole new wardrobe for work, but i can't wear yoga pants to work.. i wish i could. i just wish that this damn muffin top would go away.

tclayton53 · September 2014

I started WW already and supply has been great. You get extra points while nursing!

irenewslee · September 2014

Still got about 6lbs to go although i look like 10lbs heavier. My tummy is flappy and i got bigger thighs, ass and boobs. So yeah... Most pre pregnancy clothes don't fit well except the baggier ones. I will be going shopping for a few basics before i'm back to work on the 15th.

AandJ28 · September 2014

I'm 5 lbs away from pre-pregnancy weight, number-wise. But none of my pants fit because my hips are wider and my stomach is still flabby. It's discouraging because I feel so great but it's all relative.

For those STM+ whose hips are wider... Do they stay wide? Or do they eventually go back? I'm assuming they are wider forever but curious if I'm wrong. (I know everyone is different)

PressLove · September 2014

I'm back in my clothes, but some things i don't want to wear. I wore some of my pre-pregnancy dresses before i got too big. Every time i think of wearing one, I picture myself pregnant. Ugh!

becomingmommyagain · September 2014

I've been in my bottoms, but had to get a whole new top wardrobe to accommodate the girls. LO is 12 weeks tomorrow and the girls are starting to calm down (still nursing) but they're still much larger than pre pregnancy.

brooklyngirl46 · September 2014

Yeah, I went up a size. I admit it. Part of it is that my chest size went up as well; so my shirts that fit are all of a sudden wayy too much for work. I lost 20lbs thus far, have 30 to go, though I will settle for 20. I do think my measurements are more proportional, so I have that going for me. And as long as DH thinks I look good, I suppose I should be OK. LO doesn't care.

Holidays are coming up. I am going to be around family, where I will be the heaviest chick in the room. Oh well. At least my reason is because of a baby, and not so much my love of cupcakes.

Just remember, it took 9 months to grow the baby, it will take at least that long for your body to go back to "normal." Give yourself time.

I heart you!

Ditto only I have 30 to lose.

Still rocking the maternity shorts over here cause I've lost exactly 0 lbs since giving birth. Dang you body and your need to hold onto all the fat while breast feeding!

flerlgirl · September 2014

Lol no

coffee89 · September 2014

I am at pre preg weight and have been since week 4. I am half and half on clothes. I'm not sure I had a lot to start with as I had gained weight right before getting pregnant. My body shape is different now so tops are mostly maternity and bottoms are normal

lest12 · September 2014

I also had gained weight prior to getting KU (quitting smoking, yay!) so I don't know what even really fit me before, or what I was wearing a year ago. I feel like I need an entire new wardrobe now. I fear going back to work and having to change out of yoga pants or the single pair of jeans that I bought... Not because of my weight or pants size but who wants to spend all that $ on work clothes? Not this girl.

katekat8721 · September 2014

I'm under my pre-pregnancy weight, which was really just my pre-IVF weight plus IVF meds, which was really just my pre-IVF/pre-pregnancy/TTC weight that I put on while I had the sads about not conceiving, which really means...

I still don't fit in my pants.

but acording to UPS my new pants will be here in 5 business days. Horray!

Me too. I was beginning to think I was the only one.

H&H2014 · September 2014

I bought a "lot" of nursing tops/pants/skirts on CL that a mama was selling. $100 and new work wardrobe. Bam! Lol. It was a good find. I didn't feel too bad because I bought all my maternity stuff at consignment stores except for a few pieces at Target.

Oh, I might be only 8 #'s from PP weight, but of totally have 20 to lose! Maybe I'll stop eating ice cream sometime.

Me too! I have 10 lbs of pregnancy weight to lose and 20lbs of "I had the sads from IF" weight to lose. None of my clothes fit before I got pregnant!
Even though I am at my heaviest non pregnant weight for awhile I felt like I looked amazing because I lost all the insane swelling i had. I guess it's all relative.

curlylocks3 · September 2014

Infertility weight was harder to lose than baby weight.

And for the record I happily lived in sweats pre pregnancy too. I jokingly say I became a nurse for the scrubs- I'd never have survived having to wear real clothes every day.

Carriebear22 · September 2014

All my prepregnancy clothes were really tight when I was prepregnancy! Hurray for a lifelong weight struggle! I fit in a few of my larger items from my "heavyweight collection"now but I haven't had the courage to try on my prepregnancy jeans. I do need to try on my scrubs to see what I've got before returning to work next week.

MrsAy · September 2014

I lost all my pregnancy weight and then some, but I was overweight to begin with so is not like I'm back to a hot body or anything. My jeans fit me ok but I haven't try any of my nice tops, I'm only wearing the stretchy stuff and the couple nursing tops I bought.

Rei2metse · September 2014

@curlylocks3‌ I am also living in maternity clothes. Maxi dresses hide the flabby stomach so those get sprinkled in as well throughout the week. Like many others on this thread, my ass, hips and thighs are still in pregnancy mode and I have 20 lbs until I reach my pre-pregnancy weight. I used to be built like a brick house, now I just feel like a house. Oh well, my man's an ass guy! Plus, I made a person and now I make food to feed that little person. I feel like a rockstar!

shellbell813 · September 2014

I was back to pre pregnancy weight 2 weeks post partum, but it was alllllll water weight I think. And tho I can fit into some of my pants, I can't others. Also have since gained like 10 lbs back. Haha. Apparently I can't keep eating as much as I did when breastfeeding, damn.

But regardless of weight things definitely fit differently because I grew and birthed a baby, yo. I'm not sweating it, but I do probably need to eat more healthily. But cookies are delicious.
