And I totally wore some of my maternity pants a good four months after my son was born. They fit better than other pants and I am 95% sure no one could tell they were maternity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-parturm-pants-search-thigh-issues#post-810069 Sun, 26 May 2013 12:34:55 +0000 mauri 810069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 2 and a half weeks post partum, and totally sick of my maternity clothes! I attempted to buy shorts/pants the other day, and hated everything I tried on! I ended up buying a few maxi skirts from the gap instead. The maxi skirts were flattering at least! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-parturm-pants-search-thigh-issues#post-809330 Sat, 25 May 2013 19:09:44 +0000 autumnlove 809330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am still wearing maternity pants and shorts at one month PP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-parturm-pants-search-thigh-issues#post-809316 Sat, 25 May 2013 19:00:36 +0000 Smurfette 809316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the same issue :( it sucks. So hard for me to find pants, jeans, and shorts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-parturm-pants-search-thigh-issues#post-809268 Sat, 25 May 2013 17:57:59 +0000 littlepenguin 809268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel your pain. I have the same issue. I'm still wearing some of my maternity pants (3.5 months pp) my pre pregnant jeans just got to the point I can get them past my thighs. So I'm confident in a month( hopefully less) ill be able to pack up and say goodbye to my maternity pants. </p> <p>I say wear your maternity pants as long as you need. Wait to get new ones when you're happy with the way they look and make you feel. You'll get there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-parturm-pants-search-thigh-issues#post-809247 Sat, 25 May 2013 17:33:59 +0000 Corduroy 809247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My body has decided to hold onto those 5-10 breast feeding pounds as saddlebags on my thighs. I'm ok with that, I'm eating healthy, exercising and trust that my body needs those extra pounds as a safety cushion for LO right now. But I'd like to buy some real pants and I can't find any that are remotely flattering. I've tried on 40 or so pants in the last two days but nothing looks better than my maternity pants (not a high bar here). I showed DH my top contenders and he agreed.</p> <p>Do you have any suggestions for an a lady with ample thighs? Or strategies for shopping? How long is it socially acceptable to wear maternity pants? </p>
