BTDT Moms- Buying new clothes
I am almost a month postpartum and I am 10 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight. Although I feel like I look somewhat similar to my old self, my old clothes DO NOT fit.
I have been wearing my maternity jeans/pants, but I obviously don't want to keep wearing them. On the one hand, I am looking forward to buying all new clothes, but that can get kind of 
So, my question, if you don't mind sharing, were you able to fit into your old jeans/ pants at any point? Even if I think I might be able to, I highly doubt they would have the same look.  I think I would probably need to go up 2 sizes. Thanks!

Re: BTDT Moms- Buying new clothes
You may just need to try on different brands. Try NY and Co-I always found their pants to fit my curvy body well. I have the opposite issue-all my pants are too big. I lost my azz and fat thighs but have a crazy gross stomach

I know the stomach is the worst! Believe me, I have NEVER had a flat stomach. I've always had a little pouch. I was actually surprised that my stomach went down as much as it did, but it's still bigger/flabbier than what it was. I've always been on the thin side so it makes it so much more noticeable. I keep thinking I will just do ab exercises, but then I think who am I kidding?? I HATE ab exercises.

Re: BTDT Moms- Buying new clothes
I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight and my old pants do not fit either...your body changes and so will your fit (I wear the same size but different cut, brand, etc.)

Re: BTDT Moms- Buying new clothes
I bought one pair of PP jeans to take me through the transition period. Now that I have decided to go back to work, I will have to buy more. My size 4 jeans are just not going to work for me anymore.

Same here. Some fit me better than before, some the same and some don't fit AT ALL I got back to "normal" very soon, like 3-4 months or something.

Re: BTDT Moms- Buying new clothes
I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight, but my clothes fit very differently. I can wear one pair of pre-pregnancy jeans. I also bought another pair that's 1 size larger than I was before getting pregnant. I still wear my maternity jeans sometimes.
I have a big problem with my tops too. I'm 2 cup sizes larger so my shirts are all a lot shorter. I hate the way most of them fit now.

Re: BTDT Moms- Buying new clothes
Everyone's body is different..
Sometimes it takes a toll on your body sometimes not..
Don't be upset, if you have to get new pants..
Get them and stay focused on losing the new weight
it took me 3-4 mts and I was losing my mind..
But I am a nutjob :(

Exactly! I can zip most of my old pants but they are so tight across the hips! My waist is small but my hips have moved. I don't think it is weight necessarily but more skeletal!
Go get yourself some new pants. I did around 7 or 8 weeks after and I felt good wearing real clothes, even though I was up a few sizes. Before I was between a 2 and 4, depending on the cut/store and now I'm a 4 almost everywhere. It depends so much on the cut now!
