None of my dress pants fit and these look just like regular dress pants, I also have a pair of maternity jeans that look like regular jeans so I wear them sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-wear-your-maternity-clothes-even-though-youre-not-pregnant#post-397345 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 14:38:50 +0000 mrskc 397345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore my maternity jeans for the first couple of weeks pp. I went out and bought some bigger jeans and boxed up all my maternity clothes. I couldn't wait to put them all away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-wear-your-maternity-clothes-even-though-youre-not-pregnant#post-397320 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 14:30:52 +0000 Mrs Checkers 397320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I've re-worn my maternity leggings too...</p> <p>I wore them for probably a month or two after LO was born, just because they were roomy and comfortable, but I don't wear them anymore. They're packed away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-wear-your-maternity-clothes-even-though-youre-not-pregnant#post-397194 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 13:29:31 +0000 yin 397194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 18 months old, and I still wear some of my maternity clothes (leggings and t-shirts). I'm a sucker for comfort, and no one can tell that I'm wearing maternity leggings. I'm also wearing the same coat (non-maternity) I wore when I was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-wear-your-maternity-clothes-even-though-youre-not-pregnant#post-397078 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 12:45:54 +0000 brownie 397078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my maternity jeans (low rise so no panel) and wear them on "fat" or lazy days. I have a few tips I still wear that werent maternity but where bought big for the pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-wear-your-maternity-clothes-even-though-youre-not-pregnant#post-397042 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 12:30:56 +0000 littlek 397042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I boxed all my maternity stuff after LO was born. For the first month or so I just wore stretchy regular clothes. It felt soooo good to be out of maternity clothes and be in regular clothes. I was very bored with my maternity wardrobe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-wear-your-maternity-clothes-even-though-youre-not-pregnant#post-397015 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 12:21:21 +0000 PrincessBaby 397015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: I'm going to do the same thing- box 'em up! I want to "force" myself to transition and I bought some LL pants and leggings to help get me there. My fear is that nothing will fit by the time I go back to work at 10 weeks PP and I'll have to pull the box back down:( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-wear-your-maternity-clothes-even-though-youre-not-pregnant#post-396994 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 12:15:03 +0000 autumnlove 396994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did for the first few months and packed them away when I went back to work! So comfy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-wear-your-maternity-clothes-even-though-youre-not-pregnant#post-396985 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 12:12:12 +0000 T-Mom 396985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still wearing maternity Camis here too! Since having kids, the belly flab feels so constricted by my non-maternity ones, and I like the length of the maternity ones. I also have a pair of full panel maternity khakis that fit better than my other kakhis... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-wear-your-maternity-clothes-even-though-youre-not-pregnant#post-396395 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 08:14:02 +0000 blackbird 396395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a couple dresses that were 'maternity' but i wore them even when i wasn't pregnant. They were cute and just didn't hang like it. Oddly, I get a TON of compliments on them and I have to lie and say I forgot where I bought them :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-wear-your-maternity-clothes-even-though-youre-not-pregnant#post-396371 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 07:43:43 +0000 MrsTiz 396371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought maternity clothes at about 6 weeks, never got big enough to even *need* them before m/c.</p> <p>I wore maternity jeans yesterday. I have no shame. At home I live in my maternity leggings. I don't know why normal pants aren't that comfortable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-wear-your-maternity-clothes-even-though-youre-not-pregnant#post-396370 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 07:42:37 +0000 betsyboop 396370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Guilty! I still wear my maternity tank tops because I'm a size bigger than pre-pregnancy thanks to nursing/pumping. Once I stop pumping I plan on finally putting all of my maternity clothes away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-wear-your-maternity-clothes-even-though-youre-not-pregnant#post-396367 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 07:41:04 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 396367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it bad that I haven't ever been pregnant and have considered buying some maternity?! Some of those dresses and skirts were super cute this summer.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-wear-your-maternity-clothes-even-though-youre-not-pregnant#post-396358 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 07:29:57 +0000 heffalump 396358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore them for 3 months and then packed them away! Even if I couldn't fit into all my regular clothes I didn't care. I wanted to be out of maternity! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-wear-your-maternity-clothes-even-though-youre-not-pregnant#post-396274 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 02:00:42 +0000 Boogs 396274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm wearing a maternity cami at this exact moment, and my LO is 19 months old lol. I just love the long length. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-wear-your-maternity-clothes-even-though-youre-not-pregnant#post-396273 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 01:53:43 +0000 HLK208 396273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear my maternity cami's because they're long (I have a super long torso) and my regular ones are always dirty or in the wash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-wear-your-maternity-clothes-even-though-youre-not-pregnant#post-396263 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 01:18:19 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 396263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uh yeah! My regular clothes still don't fit! But at least my maternity jeans are not hideous...and one pair that I wore today was getting too big so I'm making progress... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-wear-your-maternity-clothes-even-though-youre-not-pregnant#post-396246 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 00:43:17 +0000 MaisyMay 396246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I own 3 pairs of maternity khakis and will wear them even after LO is born. Work requires khakis with our business polos, so I won't replace these until they are too big. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-wear-your-maternity-clothes-even-though-youre-not-pregnant#post-396228 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 23:41:17 +0000 sera_87 396228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never had to buy maternity clothes, so yes. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-wear-your-maternity-clothes-even-though-youre-not-pregnant#post-396225 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 23:37:50 +0000 pinkcupcake 396225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did for about the first five months! Finally put them away. Unfortunately, these last ten lbs are so stubborn...I had to buy jeans in one size up :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-wear-your-maternity-clothes-even-though-youre-not-pregnant#post-396215 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 23:31:15 +0000 Mrs. Pen 396215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did for the first couple months but once I was in my regular clothes I never looked back!!</p> <p>I have a couple pieces, one shirt and a dress, that I love and don't look like maternity though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-wear-your-maternity-clothes-even-though-youre-not-pregnant#post-396208 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 23:20:27 +0000 junebugmama 396208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought maternity cardigans (not type with buttons) I am still wearing those. They're not really maternity anyway. They just look a little bigger </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-wear-your-maternity-clothes-even-though-youre-not-pregnant#post-396206 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 23:17:08 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 396206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>omgosh no, I boxed them up and put them on the very top shelf on my closet about 1w PP. I hate the idea of them. I was itching to get back in my prepregnancy clothing so badly towards the end. Granted- only a quarter of my PreP wardrobe fits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-wear-your-maternity-clothes-even-though-youre-not-pregnant#post-396202 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 23:12:01 +0000 lovehoneybee 396202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, but only because my regular jeans don't fit yet. I fold the full panels down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-wear-your-maternity-clothes-even-though-youre-not-pregnant#post-396201 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 23:11:56 +0000 Pink Champagne 396201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just one pair of maternity leggings- they're nice and thick, so I wore them today with a long sweater! I also have one tshirt that is technically maternity but doesn't have that telltale ruching on the sides so I still wear it. Oh, and my maternity tank tops from GAP, because really, they're just long tanks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-wear-your-maternity-clothes-even-though-youre-not-pregnant#post-396177 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 22:51:09 +0000 Springtime 396177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skibobrown: bahaha that would be embarrassing! I know, I wish regular clothes were just as comfy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-wear-your-maternity-clothes-even-though-youre-not-pregnant#post-396175 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 22:50:00 +0000 skibobrown 396175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My maternity skits are so insanely comfortable, I wear them all the time. I hope nobody ever sees my shirt ride up and realize that I'm actually wearing maternity clothes. I would die from embarrassment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-wear-your-maternity-clothes-even-though-youre-not-pregnant#post-396172 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 22:47:30 +0000 Springtime 396172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually I don't and I would never ever wear my hideous maternity jeans, but I definitely broke out my maternity leggings today, it finally got cold here, and I don't have regular ones. Do you ever do this?</p> <p>Note to self- invest in regular leggings! </p>
