Do you have an instagram I can follow? Where the heck do you shop? So cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-style#post-2445627 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 22:34:03 +0000 Finfan 2445627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Goose: Numbness and sore, yup. It's awful. I wish my doctor had explained more of what to expect before I agreed to the CS. (it was unplanned after pushing for three hours with my second baby.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-style#post-2445504 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 21:10:09 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2445504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: ditto. Tried on pants today...they don't do up.</p> <p>@Finfan: I'm just over 14 weeks out from a c-section. Just wondering what kind of discomfort you have? I have some numbness and sometimes my tummy is just sore. I'm hoping this will go away soon and also wondered if it gets worse if I am very active that day? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-style#post-2445488 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 21:01:24 +0000 Canoli 2445488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On another thread @princessbaby recommended Jane.com and they have really cute tunics for cheap.</p> <p>@rainbowsprinkles, can you please be my stylist? Love all your outfits. Adorable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-style#post-2445401 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 20:09:02 +0000 winniebee 2445401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Leggings and long tops!</p> <p>Finally fit into normal stuff at 4-5 months and then just wore regular clothes with nursing tanks under. </p> <p>Around 10 months even quit the nursing bras. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-style#post-2445344 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 19:12:12 +0000 FannyMae 2445344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was so sick of my maternity clothes post partum I wanted to burn them. I'm 10 weeks post partum, and I ordered a whole stack of new jeans and tops from asos - I bought things from the curve range as the sizes are bigger, but the styles are the same as the normal range. hooray for no frumpy clothes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-style#post-2445092 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 16:35:35 +0000 Foodnerd81 2445092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm six weeks out and pretty much wear yoga pants or leggings, nursing tank, and zip up hoodie every single day. I have a bunch of cardigans too but I'm still in the stage where I get spit up on a lot and it doesn't seem worth the effort to wear something that has to be hung dry. I've been a Sahm for a couple years and just don't like wearing jeans unless I'm going somewhere nicer anyway- yoga pants are fine for the playground! </p> <p>But I did just get some longer tops and nicer leggings, so when I'm ready to make the effort I'll wear a tunic with leggings and low boots or cute sneakers.</p> <p>Eta: I also like wearing a flannel shirt over a nursing tank, and just got a cute longish cotton one on clearance at old navy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-style#post-2445084 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 16:31:46 +0000 hilsy85 2445084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: I started wearing leggings constantly until my pre preg pants fit better. I really like Old Navy compression leggings or the Gap gfast leggings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-style#post-2445083 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 16:31:43 +0000 Portboston 2445083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still wearing my mat tops because I like the length! I even bought new ones recently haha I wore a few of my mat bottoms for a couple weeks but was able to fit into my pre baby bottoms pretty quickly. The issue I have is nursing friendly tops. I usually wear a tank under everything so I can just pull up my tops and not be completely exposed. But I miss wearing maxi dresses...actually, dresses in general. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-style#post-2445080 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 16:30:40 +0000 wrkbrk 2445080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: I had a mini meltdown at old navy on Saturday. I went to get a couple pairs of pants to bridge the gap and had to go up TWO sizes - and they're still snug! Blah! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-style#post-2445079 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 16:29:36 +0000 wrkbrk 2445079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Finfan: Don't think I won't wear my maternity pants back to work. lol!!! They're plain black pants. Who can tell, right?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-style#post-2445078 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 16:29:03 +0000 fussygal 2445078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: I WFH and I think that actually hindered my postpartum style because I could too easily slip into the yoga pants mom-uniform :bummed: . I think WOH will probably help you get into a groove sooner! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-style#post-2445074 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 16:27:53 +0000 Finfan 2445074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: I still have to wear my maternity pants because I am still uncomfortable from my CS 13 weeks ago. I can't wear leggings to work either. I'm probably going to have to buy more pants. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-style#post-2445070 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 16:26:33 +0000 fussygal 2445070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore maternity tops for a few weeks after (basically just lounging at home) and maternity jeans/yoga pants for 6-8 weeks after. I eventually gave up on fitting back into my old jeans around 2 months PP and bought some regular jeans in a larger size than my old ones. For shirts I wore a lot of Target nursing tank tops with t-shirts and flowy cardigans over them. SO not stylish, but it worked while I was figuring out how to dress my new body. </p> <p>This time I plan to be much more pro-active about making an effort and wearing some cute things PP!</p> <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: Those outfits are adorable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-style#post-2445062 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 16:23:59 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2445062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: oh no. I am so glad I WAH, I can't imagine dressing for work in this post partum state. Maybe a little shopping spree is in order? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-style#post-2445059 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 16:22:54 +0000 wrkbrk 2445059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: Same. I am all over the leggings right now but that's not going to fly when I return to work in a couple weeks! BOO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-style#post-2445055 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 16:18:48 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2445055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: I still have some weight to lose too. I just wear leggings with a tall, thick waist band to suck in whatever pooch I have. I wear jeans sometimes, but they give me muffin top! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-style#post-2445048 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 16:16:06 +0000 travellingbee 2445048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh I am totally having the same issues. I am 4 weeks postpartum and my regular pants COULD fit but they give me a muffin top that is not flattering. And my maternity pants are falling down. So... I am somewhere in between. Tops I find easier as I just wear shirts that are a bit boxier and cover the bump. with a nursing tank underneath usually. It's the bottoms that are a problem... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-style#post-2445039 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 16:05:43 +0000 wrkbrk 2445039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Posting to follow. 10 weeks pp and still have 12 pounds to lose. NONE OF MY PANTS FIT. :'( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-style#post-2445029 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 15:53:29 +0000 Greentea 2445029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can do dresses with leggings, zillions of cute short dresses! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-style#post-2445008 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 15:42:25 +0000 MrsADS 2445008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in FL and it was 5,000 degrees when I was immediately PP (DS born in August), but I wore stretchy workout shorts (like Nike shorts, but the Target brand bc I'm cheap) and tanks every day. I actually mostly wore the Liz Lange maternity tanks from Target - they are long and have good coverage, but aren't ruched or anything so don't look "maternity." Plus I find they are stretchy enough I just pull them down to nurse. Still do most weekends! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-style#post-2445005 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 15:41:05 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2445005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first couple weeks I wore comfy pants and nursing tanks. When I left the house I put on maternity shorts. As soon as I could button my regular pants, I did! I wanted to feel normal. I bought several nursing friendly tops and wear them with nursing tanks underneath. I pretty much live in skinny jeans and easy access tops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-style#post-2445004 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 15:38:24 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2445004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So here are just a couple examples--</p> <p>First is at like 2 weeks post partum. High waisted leggings to suck in the pooch and an oversized tunic with boots.</p> <p>In the second pic I'm actually pregnant, but it's also something I'd wear post partum. Loose, oversized tank (nursing cami underneath) with leather jacket and black leggings or stretchy pants.</p> <p>Third pic--just another oversized tunic with leggings and boots! Wearing a nursing bra with the straps pushed over so you can't see them. Not exactly practical for everyday, but good if you are going out.</p> <p>I am super busty while nursing so I try and stay away from button-up shirts because they emphasize my large boobs.</p> <p>[attach=1616/16/o1vyo0.400x600.2016-02-01-12.34.00.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=1616/16/o1vyo1.229x600.2016-02-01-12.33.32.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=1616/16/o1vyzx.245x600.2016-02-01-12.44.06.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-style#post-2444997 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 15:36:14 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2444997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I echo simplefelicity.

Once I could fit into my jeans, I started wearing those more. Now I have some cute clothes in bold colors that I like, but I'm thinking about what to do during my next PP period because I want to look better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-style#post-2444991 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 15:31:25 +0000 simplyfelicity 2444991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Jag Jeans...they are amazing. seriously. </p> <p>And undercover mama tanks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-style#post-2444986 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 15:29:42 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2444986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I refuse to wear maternity clothes post partum because I am just so sick of them! I am 4 months PP right now, and I wear mostly leggings and tunic tops. Free People is my favorite brand because their stuff is super flowy and forgiving, but also comfortable and super cute. I try and dress up my tunic and leggings look with cute boots of sneakers, big fun scarves, cute hats, or big, bold accessories. </p> <p>I feel like pretty much everything is nursing friendly because I just wear a nursing tank underneath and lift my shirt up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-style#post-2444942 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 15:00:21 +0000 sorrycharlie 2444942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>what did you dress in postpartum - both right after and down the road?</p> <p>right after DD1, I wore maternity clothes because it took a few months to lose that 6-month belly. after dd2, I felt like I fit into my jeans faster than the first go-round but my stomach didn't tighten back up so I still wore maternity shirts. </p> <p>now, my dd2 is a year old, and I generally live in jeans and nursing friendly tops, but I would like to branch out and look a little stylish! where can I find some cute tunics to cover my butt - to wear with leggings? some "stylish" comfy clothes? It's been 3+ years of wet messy buns and the same clothes - I am ready :P </p>
