Granted it is just extra long in back, roomy and comfy :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-continue-to-wear-maternity-clothes-after-having-lo#post-2253462 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 16:14:15 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2253462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped immediately. I didn't have a lot of maternity clothes in rotation so I wore everything I did have A LOT. I was very ready to be done with it all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-continue-to-wear-maternity-clothes-after-having-lo#post-2253452 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 16:01:57 +0000 Rocker2014 2253452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL, still wearing some maternity pants at 9.5mos PP! I have a few pairs of maternity work pants that fit so well, I may never give them up. I have major difficulties finding skinny pants in the right length, and one maternity brand makes the exact right length...I seriously considered buying another pair even though I'm not pregnant and don't plan to be! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-continue-to-wear-maternity-clothes-after-having-lo#post-2253346 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 14:38:39 +0000 youboots 2253346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 5 mo pp and I still wear a lot. I have an abnormally long torso for my height and will keep buying maternity (without gathering) because it's longer than tall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-continue-to-wear-maternity-clothes-after-having-lo#post-2253340 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 14:34:59 +0000 rachiecakes 2253340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore my long stretchy GapMaternity tanks until they literally wore out, I loved them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-continue-to-wear-maternity-clothes-after-having-lo#post-2253327 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 14:25:02 +0000 Portboston 2253327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 2 weeks PP &amp; pulled on a pair on pre pregnancy jeans this morning so I think I'll be giving up the maternity stuff pretty soon. Which makes me sad cause I got some cute bottoms! I'll wear the tops forever though. I'm long waisted so I love the length on them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-continue-to-wear-maternity-clothes-after-having-lo#post-2253324 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 14:22:20 +0000 Foodnerd81 2253324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maternity bottoms stopped fitting well pretty soon, so I pretty much wore stretchy yoga pants. I wore some non ruched mat tops forever but pretty much everything I packed away after a few weeks. It's not that I was my old size, but the maternity stuff just looked silly and pants wouldn't stay up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-continue-to-wear-maternity-clothes-after-having-lo#post-2253279 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 13:52:15 +0000 Alivoo01 2253279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 months? I was comfy in my maternity jeans so I didn't buy new ones until I went back to work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-continue-to-wear-maternity-clothes-after-having-lo#post-2253270 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 13:44:22 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2253270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in regular clothes (but still big) around 3 months pp... but I didn't give up my maternity yoga pants until just recently (3.5 yrs after the 1st kid). Some stuff was just too comfortable to let go. </p> <p>@oliviaoblivia: Yes! I had a hard time going back to regular-length shirts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-continue-to-wear-maternity-clothes-after-having-lo#post-2253251 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 13:31:21 +0000 Truth Bombs 2253251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in pre pregnancy clothes about a week after delivery. I moved to nuring tanks but all the maternity clothes were packed away until I got pregnant again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-continue-to-wear-maternity-clothes-after-having-lo#post-2253247 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 13:29:22 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2253247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never stopped wearing the maternity tanks from my first pregnancy. I love the extra length.<br /> I was in regular clothes around four months after my first. I was filtering in regular pants again around 4 months pp from my second and was frustrated to still need some stretchy pants around the 5.5 month mark and then found out I was ten weeks pregnant again so I've pretty much just not stopped wearing maternity clothes for 16 months.<br /> I'm looking forward to a big shopping spree when I finally get my body back to myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-continue-to-wear-maternity-clothes-after-having-lo#post-2253226 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 13:12:56 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2253226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't wear it at all. I was so over it, even the non maternity stuff I bought during/for pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-continue-to-wear-maternity-clothes-after-having-lo#post-2253218 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 13:10:20 +0000 Torchwood 2253218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still wear some of the non-maternity stuff that I wore while pregnant, but not anything that's actual maternity. It's too depressing. (Still sad that preterm labor meant I missed out on the last couple months of my pregnancy.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-continue-to-wear-maternity-clothes-after-having-lo#post-2253217 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 13:09:44 +0000 PawPrints 2253217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, is it bad if I've spent my entire maternity leave in gym shorts and a nursing tank and therefore have no idea whether my pre-pregnancy clothes fit? :)</p> <p>Okay, I did switch from maternity jeans to my old regular jeans around 6 weeks postpartum though they still weren't really comfortable since I still had a poofy belly. I just couldn't keep wearing the maternity jeans since they were starting to slide down. So disappointing, I had fantasies of wearing those amazingly comfortable maternity jeans forever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-continue-to-wear-maternity-clothes-after-having-lo#post-2253211 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 13:03:51 +0000 snowjewelz 2253211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went into nursing tops right away, but def still wore my maternity leggings for a good 2+ months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-continue-to-wear-maternity-clothes-after-having-lo#post-2253180 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 12:34:36 +0000 Mrs. Cheesecake 2253180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 7 months pp and I still wear my maternity khaki shorts. I have regular shorts that fit but these are just so comfortable that I can't give them up. I no longer wear my maternity tops since I was pregnant during the fall/winter and now it's too hot for them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-continue-to-wear-maternity-clothes-after-having-lo#post-2253169 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 12:29:26 +0000 mrsrain 2253169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never stopped wearing maternity tank tops (I like them for the length!)-- 14 months postpartum and now I am pregnant again, so I'll just keeping going! I wore maternity pants for a couple of months postpartum. I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-continue-to-wear-maternity-clothes-after-having-lo#post-2253166 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 12:28:14 +0000 mrsjyw 2253166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This time I haven't worn any because I have nursing tops and fit into my non maternity leggings and shirts right away. </p> <p>Last time I wore maternity cardigans and jeans for a few weeks. I packed them away after that, more of a mental kick in the butt to lose baby weight for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-continue-to-wear-maternity-clothes-after-having-lo#post-2253160 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 12:24:34 +0000 LC 2253160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 3 months postpartum from #2 and still in maternity jeans... I can get in my prebaby jeans but I'm still too thick around the waist to comfortably button them... the muffin top is just not cute. Jeans and one comfy wrap sweatshirt are the only lingering maternity clothes. I boxed that stuff up as soon as I could, I've been dying to get back to my normal wardrobe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-continue-to-wear-maternity-clothes-after-having-lo#post-2253158 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 12:23:54 +0000 avivoca 2253158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped wearing maternity when I got asked how far along I was when H was six months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-continue-to-wear-maternity-clothes-after-having-lo#post-2253156 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 12:22:49 +0000 MrsKoala 2253156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 months at least. I didn't feel like buying in between clothes like work pants so I made it work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-continue-to-wear-maternity-clothes-after-having-lo#post-2253150 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 12:20:03 +0000 lovehoneybee 2253150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had some yoga pants and long tanks that I wore well after E was born...straight into getting pregnant with DD :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-continue-to-wear-maternity-clothes-after-having-lo#post-2253145 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 12:17:46 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2253145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still have all of mine to wear for future pregnancies. But I didn't really wear any of it besides tank tops after giving birth (and the tank tops are simply longer than normal so they don't look maternity at all). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-continue-to-wear-maternity-clothes-after-having-lo#post-2253143 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 12:14:50 +0000 bushelandapeck 2253143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still wear my maternity leggings too and DD is almost 10 months! I still have all of my maternity clothing because I'm in denial that I won't likely be having anymore LO's. I'll probably hang on to it until DD is 2 ish and we make the final decision. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-continue-to-wear-maternity-clothes-after-having-lo#post-2253138 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 12:11:50 +0000 DillonLion 2253138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I admit it, I still wear my maternity leggings around the house, and my LO is almost 3. I don't care! They are so comfortable. It runs in my family to keep a rather big belly after giving birth (lucky us!), so I could pass for seriously pregnant if I left the house in these bad boys. </p> <p>The rest of the maternity clothing I owned I donated about a year after LO was born. </p> <p>Do you have any maternity gear you've held on to a lot longer than you thought you would? </p>
