Re: When did you start wearing your prepregnancy clothing again?

These responses are certainly depressing for someone like me who gained 50+ lbs and has 30+ lbs still to lose at 5 1/2 weeks pp.

Re: When did you start wearing your prepregnancy clothing again?

1 week for both tops and bottoms.

Re: When did you start wearing your prepregnancy clothing again?

I'm 16 weeks pp and still have 10 lbs to go (which has been the case since 1 week PP). I stopped wearing maternity @ 4/6 weeks but my pants are still a bigger size.
But I didn't lose those 10 lbs for 6 months for my first child so I'm expecting it to be the same with this one. And then when I stopped BFing @ 12 months I lost a bunch of weight.
I'm nursing twins so I can't diet and have NO time to exercise. But I know it wouldn't matter if I did because my body needs this extra weight for breastfeeding, so I'll just deal with the bigger sized clothes for now.

Re: When did you start wearing your prepregnancy clothing again?

My memory is fuzzy but...

I think 10 months for DS#1 and 12 months for DS#2. I had a RAVENOUS appetite the entire time I was breastfeeding. I ate like 10x per day and often ate very unhealthy. I was constantly eating and drinking extra calories. I stopped breastfeeding both boys around 8-9 months so I dropped down within 1-2 months after I stopped breastfeeding. I'm sure if I was only eating healthy and drinking water, I would have gone back a lot sooner.

With DS#2, I felt much more stretched out. Even though my weight was back to normal, I couldn't fit into my old clothes until a little later.

DD#1 - 9 months
DD#2 - 6 months

I'm only 4 weeks PP with #3, so I don't know how long it will be for this one. With both of my earlier pregnancies, I had hit my original weight LONG before my clothes fit. My hips were much wider and it took that long to get back to normal.

I just started wearing regular clothes since my maternity pants keep falling down, but they are 2 sizes up from what I normally wear.

Re: When did you start wearing your prepregnancy clothing again?

Ummmm I must be part cow:

I always weighed 120 my whole life
Never worked out, ate whatever
Gained 75 lbs all straight in my tummy
Looked like a torpedo

2 and a half years later, I'm finally back in my size 4 again but my stomach definitely doesn't look the same but hey, if you can close the button, it counts.

Ps- I plan to wear maternity pants on thanksgiving , a lá Joey tribbiani. Lol jk. Well, not really ...

Re: When did you start wearing your prepregnancy clothing again?

Wow everyone responses make me feel awful. Before having kids I was in pretty good shape. I worked out and ate pretty healthy. Most of my 20s I was under 118lbs and either a size 2-4. Then after 26-27 I gained some weight and was about 121lbs and a size 6.
With my first I gained 40lbs and only lost 20 of it after the baby. It took me almost two years and alot of working out to get back to my Pre preggo weight and clothes size.
When I got preggo with DS #2 I was again 121lbs and again gained 40lbs. After he was born I only lost about 10lbs and two months later lost another 5lbs. This is with breast feeding. I'm 8 months PP and still have over 20lbs to loose. So weight does not come off me easily at all. I'm always shocked when I hear women who gained the same as me loose weight so fast. It would make life alot easier.

I had to go out and buy bigger sizes. Some of my shirts fit but not all. ( my boobs grew a whole lot too).
So as of right now I have about 4 different sizes in my closet. I'm starting the gym soon when I can find the time, because I'm really unhappy with how I look.
Sorry so long, just wanted to let people know, not everyone looses the baby weight right away.

Re: When did you start wearing your prepregnancy clothing again?

Everyone is different, some women take days, some weeks, some months and some years . Sometimes you can lose all the baby weight but pp clothes still don't fit you bc your body changes so much.
With my 2nd I lost weight faster than with my first even though first one was pretty quick too. But with my first my pp clothes didn't fit me right away even though I had lost all the weight AND more, some jeans still feel tight on me to this day and my first is 5 . Wth my 2nd I lost it and everything fits me the way they did pp.so you never know. Your body changes so much ...

Re: When did you start wearing your prepregnancy clothing again?

No maternity clothes for me. Shame to because I loved the way I looked while pregnant.

GD played a huge part. I lost weight/fat while pregnant. After I gave birth I was 16 pounds lighter from when I got my bfp.

I've put 8lbs back on but that's because I haven't been eating well. Only so much BF can keep off.
