I have retired everything else but I wore my maternity jeans for a loooong time! They are so much better than regular jeans! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confess-how-long-did-you-wear-your-stuff-after-birth#post-2350955 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 14:25:55 +0000 simplyfelicity 2350955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>By 3 months pp, I had boxed up all my maternity clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confess-how-long-did-you-wear-your-stuff-after-birth#post-2350950 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 14:23:35 +0000 brownepiano 2350950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 5 weeks. I switched back to my looser shirts first, those were actually more of a problem than pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confess-how-long-did-you-wear-your-stuff-after-birth#post-2350932 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 14:11:23 +0000 Modern Daisy 2350932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still wear my maternity pj bottoms! They are so stretchy and comfy and I will never give them up! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confess-how-long-did-you-wear-your-stuff-after-birth#post-2350917 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 14:07:16 +0000 LuLu Mom 2350917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babynumber1: yep me too! I've sold it all but wasn't about to part ways with my favorite leggings! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confess-how-long-did-you-wear-your-stuff-after-birth#post-2350912 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 14:04:25 +0000 sarac 2350912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore my maternity shorts until it got too cold just this month, and my baby is three months old. I'd still be wearing them if it were hot. Beside that I mostly wear leggings and running tights and I just bought those in a bigger size, since these five pounds don't seem to be leaving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confess-how-long-did-you-wear-your-stuff-after-birth#post-2350768 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 13:01:31 +0000 babynumber1 2350768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: I'm not parting with my maternity leggings either. They are amazing. I'm 9 weeks pp, and that and maternity tank tops are so comfy. I gave away everything but those! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confess-how-long-did-you-wear-your-stuff-after-birth#post-2350653 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 12:01:59 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2350653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never wore anything maternity again after I gave birth. Not because I was super skinny but I was just so sick of them and wanted to feel normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confess-how-long-did-you-wear-your-stuff-after-birth#post-2350643 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 11:58:16 +0000 Mrs. D 2350643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some of the jammies I wore for a long time, just pulled the string tighter. I also ended up wearing my maternity panties for that time of the month. Some still 3 years later lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confess-how-long-did-you-wear-your-stuff-after-birth#post-2350640 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 11:57:41 +0000 looch 2350640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore my maternity jeans until 6 months pp. Then I just donated them. Everything else, I wore until I was around 3 weeks pp. I was just sick of the tops on constant rotation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confess-how-long-did-you-wear-your-stuff-after-birth#post-2350637 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 11:53:27 +0000 cheert16 2350637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 months PP and still wear my maternity tanks all the time! They are just the perfect length! Also i wear my maternity leggings because they squish my muffin top in :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confess-how-long-did-you-wear-your-stuff-after-birth#post-2350630 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 11:49:46 +0000 pastemoo 2350630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: I hated the pants and stopped immediately, so I just wore elastic waist skirts hanging low, and my same tops and dresses.... most of which are technically not maternity tops, and wore some maternity tops more than 2 years later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confess-how-long-did-you-wear-your-stuff-after-birth#post-2350609 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 11:37:19 +0000 Alba4 2350609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha! I still wear my maternity leggings and some tank tops. I love how long they are! (My son is two btw). I am 7 weeks pregnant so now it isn't so weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confess-how-long-did-you-wear-your-stuff-after-birth#post-2350607 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 11:36:25 +0000 gingerbebe 2350607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This summer, I still wore maternity shorts. The soft stretchy fold over panel kept my belly tucked in and they were just comfy, shrug. I wore some maternity shirts through the winter (I had a September baby) because they were just billowy/tunic tops that weren't obviously maternity and I still wear some jersey gaucho pants when I'm slumming at home because they are comfy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confess-how-long-did-you-wear-your-stuff-after-birth#post-2350603 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 11:34:33 +0000 yin 2350603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I finally gave up on maternity clothes a year after my second was born. I loved my maternity leggings and was sad to let them go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confess-how-long-did-you-wear-your-stuff-after-birth#post-2350595 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 11:30:35 +0000 SweetiePie 2350595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a super cute sweatshirt with lace appliqué and you honestly can't tell its maternity. I stil get compliments all the time.<br /> Oh and I wear a pair of leggings too, but I sorta think they don't count 😋<br /> ETA: I'm 14 months PP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confess-how-long-did-you-wear-your-stuff-after-birth#post-2350581 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 11:26:30 +0000 cascademom 2350581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still wearing my maternity jeans at 5 almost 6 months postpartum. I wish all jeans just had the comfy elastic band. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confess-how-long-did-you-wear-your-stuff-after-birth#post-2350478 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 10:37:12 +0000 LuLu Mom 2350478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yep my cami tank tops from motherhood, I never stopped wearing those, I don't consider them maternity but I guess I should! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confess-how-long-did-you-wear-your-stuff-after-birth#post-2350465 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 10:32:43 +0000 buttermilk 2350465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 3 months pp and still wearing my gap maternity tanks/shirts &amp; leggings. I still haven't lost much of the baby weight and nothing fits. Everytime I put on jeans I just rip them off later. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confess-how-long-did-you-wear-your-stuff-after-birth#post-2350452 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 10:26:22 +0000 LBee 2350452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I boxed it all up and put it in the attic at 4 weeks. Not because I was skinny and didn't need it anymore, but because I knew if I could fall back on it I would never get out of it. I also was SO sick of my maternity clothes and missed zippers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confess-how-long-did-you-wear-your-stuff-after-birth#post-2350449 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 10:26:07 +0000 youboots 2350449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still buy gap maternity leggings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confess-how-long-did-you-wear-your-stuff-after-birth#post-2350448 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 10:25:19 +0000 nana87 2350448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Umm I wore my maternity jeans for like a year after lo was born :silly: and still wear a few maternity tops that are more long than anything else, and lo is 19 moths now. Actually, right now I'm still in my pjs, which are maternity leggings and a nursing top. Lol. (And I've lost the baby weight-- these are just still comfy!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confess-how-long-did-you-wear-your-stuff-after-birth#post-2350437 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 10:19:45 +0000 MtnBiker 2350437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 8 weeks with the few I had. I hated maternity clothes. They never fit me right. I mostly just ended up buying larger sizes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confess-how-long-did-you-wear-your-stuff-after-birth#post-2350436 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 10:17:57 +0000 californiadreams 2350436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i wore my maternity jeans for a good 3 months before i finally accepted i was not going to fit into my prepreg jeans anytime soon and bought new regular jeans in a bigger size. I never stopped wearing my maternity yoga pants - they are the only yoga pants i own and it was easy enough to fold down the panel and make them look normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confess-how-long-did-you-wear-your-stuff-after-birth#post-2350422 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 10:05:23 +0000 Foodnerd81 2350422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped pretty quickly- anything seasonal was SO big and stretched out from being worn constantly, plus most of my tops were ruched which screams maternity. </p> <p>However long non ruched tanks stayed in the rotation until I got pregnant again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confess-how-long-did-you-wear-your-stuff-after-birth#post-2350419 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 10:02:26 +0000 MrsKoala 2350419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still wear maternity clothes (the ones that are not obviously maternity) now and my kid turns 2 in three months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confess-how-long-did-you-wear-your-stuff-after-birth#post-2350414 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 09:57:35 +0000 hellobeeboston 2350414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear some of the tanks all the time! I'm 5 weeks pp and I stopped wearing my maternity jeans a week or so ago :( only because they wouldn't stay up, boo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confess-how-long-did-you-wear-your-stuff-after-birth#post-2350411 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 09:55:39 +0000 mrsvdv 2350411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was out of maternity pants a week after birth, but that's mainly because they were all stretched out and didn't fit properly anymore. So I switched to yoga pants :silly: Still wearing maternity tops at 4 months pp! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confess-how-long-did-you-wear-your-stuff-after-birth#post-2350387 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 09:40:24 +0000 Adira 2350387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 11m postpartum and still wear a ton of maternity tops. I just love how long they are! </p>
