I think my hips and butt got bigger! :grin: I've been wearing sweatpants and yoga pants on maternity leave, but I may buy a couple pairs of pants for work in a bigger size to help make it through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-clothes#post-1952557 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 13:35:57 +0000 regberadaisy 1952557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The lbs are gone but I think with this second pregnancy my body has shifted. I feel like my hips and thighs have gotten wider and are staying. Because I literally can't pull my old jeans past the knees. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-clothes#post-1952546 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 13:33:48 +0000 Foodnerd81 1952546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost the pregnancy weight pretty quickly but things still fit differently. And I'm roughly the same number size but not the same shape. Somehow pants are all baggy and dumpy on my legs but still pinch my waist, which is smaller than prepreg but mushier. And has an extra little pooch right in the front. </p> <p>@Little Misters Mom: same here, I bought a pair of nice joes jeans from a consignment store- I lucked out that they fit pretty great but cost less than the Gap. And I also bought a pair of super stretchy skinny jeans from Forever 21 for $8.</p> <p>Eta: C is almost 16 months old. Not sure this counts as "postpartum" anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-clothes#post-1952530 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 13:31:12 +0000 blackbird 1952530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to buy some cheap Old Navy jeans one size up to tide me over for a bit! And dresses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-clothes#post-1952518 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 13:28:26 +0000 Little Misters Mom 1952518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am only about 3 pounds above my pre pregnancy weight and my jeans still don't fit at all. My hips, thighs, and waist are just completely different now. I just bought a new pair of JBrands from Twice. They are in perfect condition but I'm glad I didn't pay that much ($40 bucks woot!) in case I change sizes again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-clothes#post-1952505 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 13:25:03 +0000 coopsmama 1952505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely still appear a bit pregnant at 4 months PP. It's more blump than bump but it's noticeable. Someone even asked me last month if I was pregnant again. :bummed: </p> <p>I did go buy two new pairs of jeans last month and they are amazing. I didn't go cheap because I don't know how much more changing my body will do without putting in significant effort and I don't have the time so I spend about $100 total for both and am happy I did that.</p> <p>Most of my pre pregnancy tops are ill fitting, too, which is irritating. Dressing PP is not any fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-clothes#post-1952471 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 13:13:47 +0000 HLK208 1952471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stargal: I do too :( </p> <p>Everything just looks SO bad on my body right now at 4 months pp. The lack of sleep, not eating until late at night after everyone is down for the night, is really making it hard to lose weight. </p> <p>My pre-third preg jeans are baggy in the legs and butt, and tight in the waist. Bleh. My pre-second preg jeans can't button. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-clothes#post-1952469 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 13:12:10 +0000 regberadaisy 1952469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Amelieisme: lol!<br /> I'm seriously having trouble pulling my pants up....<br /> And Um. Yeah work pants? If I get a job I might rock dresses all winter... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-clothes#post-1952456 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 13:07:28 +0000 stargal 1952456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup I hear ya, all my.shirts make me look pregnant. OK I still look pregnant st 3 months pp. Urfh I hate dressing myself anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-clothes#post-1952451 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 13:06:42 +0000 Amelieisme 1952451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. I feel your pain. I'm almost 8 months as well. I finally broke down and bought some new work pants in a bigger size. I technically fit into my old clothes, just with a spare tire. My new pants are like sitting on a comfy couch. Aaaah! I'm wearing them right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-clothes#post-1952444 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 13:04:54 +0000 nana87 1952444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ummm, I'm nearly 8 months pp and still rocking maternity jeans... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-clothes#post-1952433 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 13:00:09 +0000 regberadaisy 1952433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have *one* pair of jeans that fits right now. And I'm not sure if I'm ever going to fit into my old jeans! </p> <p>I need to go pick up some cheap H&amp;M jeans... </p>
