Took ages though! 😅 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hip-width-permanently-change-after-pregnancy#post-2399941 Fri, 25 Dec 2015 00:51:32 +0000 sapphire 2399941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely wider hips and rib cage. Clothes that used to fit at this weight don't anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hip-width-permanently-change-after-pregnancy#post-2399937 Fri, 25 Dec 2015 00:40:32 +0000 Purpledaisy 2399937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine are the same. I have very narrow hips and they didn't expand at all during pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hip-width-permanently-change-after-pregnancy#post-2399860 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 19:24:03 +0000 artsyfartsy 2399860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My bone structure stayed the same...but there's a little more cushion on top now.

I now actually wear one or two clothing sizes smaller than pre pregnancy since nursing made me loose a ton of weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hip-width-permanently-change-after-pregnancy#post-2399789 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 15:41:44 +0000 blackbird 2399789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All my clothes fit great once I got back into shape </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hip-width-permanently-change-after-pregnancy#post-2399787 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 15:34:22 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2399787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it's "permanent" per se, but still wider 3 years later... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hip-width-permanently-change-after-pregnancy#post-2399777 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 15:06:25 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2399777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine stayed about the same but I had wide hips pre-pregnancy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hip-width-permanently-change-after-pregnancy#post-2399773 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 15:03:21 +0000 Mamasig 2399773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would let them go. I got slightly wider overall - in my ribcage too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hip-width-permanently-change-after-pregnancy#post-2399771 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 14:51:35 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2399771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hips are bigger. I've lost the baby weight so I think they are here to stay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hip-width-permanently-change-after-pregnancy#post-2399770 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 14:50:53 +0000 LindsayLou 2399770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hips definitely got wider during pregnancy, but I think they've narrowed back down at 4 months pp. I would advise keeping the shorts though, everything fits differently postpartum, so they may fit well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hip-width-permanently-change-after-pregnancy#post-2399761 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 14:28:26 +0000 lady baltimore 2399761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think mine are any wider at 3 weeks post-partum, but I don't think they were any wider while I was pregnant, either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hip-width-permanently-change-after-pregnancy#post-2399755 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 14:21:16 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2399755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeah, my hips widened! I used to have no hips whatsoever, now I definitely have curves. I don't actually mind, but it has changed what clothes fit, what brands I like, sizing, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hip-width-permanently-change-after-pregnancy#post-2399753 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 14:10:05 +0000 DesertDreams88 2399753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to a clothing swap party at 38 weeks pregnant, which I realize is probably not great timing, haha. I have 3-4 pairs of shorts that fit VERY snugly on my hips pre-baby, and I'm wondering if I should just proactively let them go, assuming that my hips will be permanently wider? I'm mainly thinking about my bone structure....</p> <p>I have about 3-4 other looser shorts that are my favorites, and I tend to wear lots of summer dresses too (though with a 6mo LO next summer I'll probably want more shorts to be playing with him on the floor, etc.) </p>
