I ended up wearing my old pants. It wasn't too bad but I know I didn't look my best. Can't wait to get home and put on soft yoga pants!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-clothing-vent#post-841461 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 07:49:35 +0000 Smurfette 841461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree, could you stop and get it taken off?? Shopping PP sucks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-clothing-vent#post-841438 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 07:28:09 +0000 MamaBehr 841438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know where you are going, but could you leave early and stop at a mall closer to the bridal shower? Most malls have the same stores, so maybe you could even get the same pants. That way, you know stores are opened (unless they are opened right now) and you can still feel good. I totally feel you on the PP clothing, it is rough. I was so frustrated with how long it took (is still taking?!) my body to bounce back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-clothing-vent#post-841417 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 06:51:31 +0000 blackbird 841417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no that sucks so bad!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-clothing-vent#post-841412 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 06:46:55 +0000 T.H.O.U. 841412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is such a pain!!! I would consider wearing them with the tag! </p> <p>I have a bunch of post partum clothes that are too big now but I can't get rid of ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-clothing-vent#post-841410 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 06:40:31 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 841410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I'm so sorry - is there any way you can take the pants and the receipt with you and see if any store will take them off (play the crying woman if you have to?)</p> <p>I remember at 9 weeks pp and I still wore maternity pants with a belly band because everything felt so flabby and regular clothes didn't fit right at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-clothing-vent#post-841407 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 06:35:04 +0000 aprk 841407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 9 weeks post partum and still am sporting a jelly belly. I needed to find a suitable outfit for a bridal shower this weekend, so I braved the mall. Trying on clothes is never fun, especially now, but I managed to find some pants that fit and looked relatively decent. </p> <p>Of course they were way more than I wanted to spend, but my husband convinced me to get them since my clothing selection currently is limited. </p> <p>We have to leave in 30 minutes to go to the event (it's 3 hours away) and I just pulled the new pants out of the bag to discover the they didn't take the ink tag off when I bought them!</p> <p>Ugh. Now I literally have nothing to wear. I'm squeezing into other pants in the hopes that the long car trip will stretch them enough that I don't look like a stuffed sausage when I get there. :/</p> <p>(p.s. why don't we have a Postpartum board?) </p>
