It was late October and getting cold, so I could hide under sweaters. Being able to fit back into my clothes for work was definitely a motivation to lose the baby weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-back-to-work-pp-did-your-old-wardrobe-fit#post-719853 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:10:03 +0000 BlueWolverine 719853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went back at 12 weeks and had to buy new pants a size up. Got two black, one grey and a few flowy shirts. I just needed enough to get me through until more of the weight goes away. I wish it would have gone away with breastfeeding, but not so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-back-to-work-pp-did-your-old-wardrobe-fit#post-719844 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:07:27 +0000 rachiecakes 719844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went back at 7 weeks and nope, most did not fit. Especially tops, no way.<br /> I made myself feel better by buying some new items. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-back-to-work-pp-did-your-old-wardrobe-fit#post-719836 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:05:00 +0000 MamaMoose 719836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in pre preg clothes at 10 days post partum and had to buy new (smaller) clothes by the time I went back to work at 15 weeks pp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-back-to-work-pp-did-your-old-wardrobe-fit#post-719815 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 11:59:14 +0000 blackbird 719815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope mine do, but if not, i'll bella band them and wear a lot of dresses for a month. I plan on getting back into Crossfit at 8 weeks post partum, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-back-to-work-pp-did-your-old-wardrobe-fit#post-719782 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 11:51:01 +0000 winniebee 719782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went back at 5.5 months post partum, so they did.</p> <p>But they didn't at 12 weeks - it was more like 16 weeks when stuff started fitting more normally again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-back-to-work-pp-did-your-old-wardrobe-fit#post-719781 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 11:50:11 +0000 MarieJ 719781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All of my clothes fit when I went back to work at 16 weeks PP. I was 4 lbs below pre-preg weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-back-to-work-pp-did-your-old-wardrobe-fit#post-719727 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 11:31:34 +0000 cascademom 719727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My clothes fit pretty well once I went back to work. I gained back some weight breastfeeding. My sweaters still don't fit well with the boobs. I can't wait to wear maxi skirts and dresses to work again (loved it during pregnancy) to hide some of the weight that I'm working on dropping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-back-to-work-pp-did-your-old-wardrobe-fit#post-719723 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 11:30:35 +0000 mrsjyw 719723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>pants and skirts fit, can't wear ANY of my button downs though :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-back-to-work-pp-did-your-old-wardrobe-fit#post-719716 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 11:29:10 +0000 NovBaby1112 719716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i remember looking at my size 0/2 work pants at about 8 weeks PP thinking there was no way in HELL i would be able to even fit them over my thighs, but magically when i went back at 12 weeks they fit! and unfortunately, my boobs have not gotten bigger at all even tho i am BFing, so all of my tops fit the same. i was really hoping for some bigger boobs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-back-to-work-pp-did-your-old-wardrobe-fit#post-719384 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 10:08:34 +0000 hellobeeboston 719384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>most of my clothes fit - i did buy a new pair of jeans (we're really casual at my office) -- and some of my shirts are a little bit tight with my bigger boobs, but mostly everything fit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-back-to-work-pp-did-your-old-wardrobe-fit#post-719276 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 09:33:25 +0000 littlek 719276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought some work pants at gap.. they always have sales and are inexpensive to start with.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-back-to-work-pp-did-your-old-wardrobe-fit#post-719275 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 09:32:53 +0000 bunnylove08 719275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i had to buy new clothes :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-back-to-work-pp-did-your-old-wardrobe-fit#post-719273 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 09:32:22 +0000 DillonLion 719273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to buy new clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-back-to-work-pp-did-your-old-wardrobe-fit#post-719270 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 09:31:53 +0000 swurlygurl 719270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh - no.

I bought two pairs of pants to get me through a few weeks until I lost enough to fit into the bigger end of my wardrobe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-back-to-work-pp-did-your-old-wardrobe-fit#post-719154 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 09:06:24 +0000 littlek 719154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore a size larger than what I wore pre pregnancy when I went back to work. I just bought a pair of black and gray pants to get through the few weeks I was that size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-back-to-work-pp-did-your-old-wardrobe-fit#post-719153 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 09:05:56 +0000 2PeasinaPod 719153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine actually did, and I was pretty surprised. I lost a lot of the weight almost immediately PP due to breast feeding. I also don't think I was in the norm either though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-back-to-work-pp-did-your-old-wardrobe-fit#post-719147 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 09:04:12 +0000 wheres_c 719147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didnt go back to work full time but my work wardrobe fit at 12 weeks. If anything, was a little loose.<br /> I don't think I was in the norm though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-back-to-work-pp-did-your-old-wardrobe-fit#post-719143 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 09:03:20 +0000 pl0508 719143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My pants fit but I am having to buy new tops since I am BF my boobs are largeeee </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-back-to-work-pp-did-your-old-wardrobe-fit#post-719141 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 09:02:24 +0000 Boheme 719141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was looking at a pair of my pre-pregnancy work pants this morning thinking that there is no way they're going to fit when I go back to work 12-16 weeks PP. Did you have to buy new clothes PP? </p>
