Unfortunately I can't find it at old navy, but heres the link to the slightly more expensive gap version (but i PROMISE its totally worth it!). Its loose around the tummy, but still really flattering!! Since its cool, you could wear it with a cardigan and still look really cute!!</p> <p><a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=189898&#038;locale=en_US&#038;kwid=1&#038;sem=false&#038;sdReferer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gap.com%2Fproducts%2Fnursing-tops.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=189898&#038;locale=en_US&#038;kwid=1&#038;sem=false&#038;sdReferer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gap.com%2Fproducts%2Fnursing-tops.jsp</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-point-me-to-tops-that-look-good-post-partum#post-488389 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:27:08 +0000 blackbird 488389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glamourmom sells some really cute nursing tops/tanks and some of them have belly support in them.

Just plain tanks/tees that are long...and a little longer in front....no rouching or anything that is obviously maternity wear. They have been great for stretching where they need to as my body changes shape postpartum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-point-me-to-tops-that-look-good-post-partum#post-488343 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:15:03 +0000 78h2o 488343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamabolt: I was, but at 2 weeks pp someone asked me ehen I was due... That freaked me out and put an end to the maternity wear! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-point-me-to-tops-that-look-good-post-partum#post-487860 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 08:41:31 +0000 mamabolt 487860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha, at five weeks post partum I was still wearing my maternity shirts everywhere! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-point-me-to-tops-that-look-good-post-partum#post-487819 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 08:08:35 +0000 duckduckkristen 487819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love those banded bottom flowy blouses. I wear a tank underneath (a black or white nursing tank would work) and then you can pull the neck down to nurse. Ann Taylor, old navy, and target usually have pretty ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-point-me-to-tops-that-look-good-post-partum#post-487812 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 08:04:13 +0000 T.H.O.U. 487812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was pretty much this same way! </p> <p>One thing I did to help with the tummy and with nursing was to get some good long cami's to wear underneath shirts. I actually love the ones from charlotte ruse. They are tight and long (cover the belly). </p> <p>Then I put whatever kind of shirt over top. I went up to an XL top during the PP period but I have settled back down. </p> <p>When I went to nurse, I could pull the shirt up and then pull the cami down. I then could undo the nursing bra and nurse away while the top of my breast and my belly were still covered. Honestly, I lived in this style wardrobe for about a year while nursing/pumping. Its also nice because it doesn't stretch out all your shirts from pulling them down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-point-me-to-tops-that-look-good-post-partum#post-487733 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 05:21:48 +0000 autumn865 487733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear a lot of cardigans and anything v neck and enough stretch to pull down. I have a lot of layering tanks that I wear under clothes so I can pull the tank down and my shirt up to nurse and I then don't have half my back and belly out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-point-me-to-tops-that-look-good-post-partum#post-487609 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 23:17:38 +0000 mrskc 487609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like wearing button up shirts especially the plaid ones. They're not as form fitting and hide the tummy a little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-point-me-to-tops-that-look-good-post-partum#post-487602 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 23:10:59 +0000 78h2o 487602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: I've been rocking cardigans every time I leave the house!</p> <p>@babyjmama: I just can't seem to find any! Crazy, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-point-me-to-tops-that-look-good-post-partum#post-487532 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 22:34:52 +0000 loveisstrange 487532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the same way. I was very swollen, C to DD (theyve settled into a D, thank god), and my tummy is a hot mess.</p> <p>I live in basic tees and cardigans to hide my awesome love handles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-point-me-to-tops-that-look-good-post-partum#post-487524 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 22:31:20 +0000 doodlepoodle 487524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@78h2o: You sound like me (aside from the tata's, mine are miniscule) ;) I wore a lot of oversized t-'s, it was HOT (gave birth June 8) but since it's winter I would suggest some flowy/empire waist shirts. If you don't have to go to work, sweatshirts! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-point-me-to-tops-that-look-good-post-partum#post-487448 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 21:49:20 +0000 78h2o 487448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre-pregnancy I was a size 8 (at 5'8") and had a pretty flat stomach. I was super swollen during pregnancy and gained 50 lbs. I'm 5 weeks post-partum. I've lost about 35 lbs, but still have about 15 to go. Plus, I can tell my belly is going to need a lot of work... it's super poochy right now. </p> <p>I can wear a pair of my "fat" pre-pregnancy jeans, but I'm REALLY struggling to find tops that fit. It doesn't help that my formerly size C boobs are now ginormous... probably DD. </p> <p>So, can anyone point me to shirts/tops/sweaters that would flatter bigger boobs and a poochy belly?! Nursing friendly would be even better... </p>
