I have so many that I'll likely never wear again - Citizens, 7's, Prvcy, TR. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-with-your-pre-preg-jeans#post-344159 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 08:06:49 +0000 loveisstrange 344159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a big butt and hips naturally, so I never wore really low-rise jeans. I can wear my pre-preg jeans again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-with-your-pre-preg-jeans#post-344156 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 08:05:35 +0000 winniebee 344156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hopefully I will fit into them again! I fit into a pair of Joe's and a pair of my gap skinny jeans, but sadly, my Sevens and Citizens jeans are still too small - one's a size 25, meaning I will likely never ever fit into them again. If they fit, I would wear them though as they aren't low cut or anything. I really want new pair of nice jeans but can't justify spending 200 bucks on myself right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-with-your-pre-preg-jeans#post-344142 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 07:55:10 +0000 mrs. wagon 344142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: So ALL of my designer jeans were low-rise and either boot cut or flare. The one pair I kept were my very first pair of designer jeans and I absolutely love them... they're the slimmest boot cut pair I had, and they're by Citizens of Humanity. I now wear straight leg and/or skinny-- and ELASTIC WAIST. I have a couple of pairs from Old Navy that are awesome. My mommy belly just can't take regular low-rise jeans anymore and I refuse to wear high-waisted jeans. So elasto-waist it is!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-with-your-pre-preg-jeans#post-343982 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 22:20:14 +0000 anonysquire 343982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Can you hold in the muffin top with spanx? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-with-your-pre-preg-jeans#post-343976 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 22:07:58 +0000 Mrs. Pen 343976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: what style cut do you prefer to wear now? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-with-your-pre-preg-jeans#post-343956 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 21:44:07 +0000 mrs. wagon 343956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sold all of mine except one pair, mostly because I don't really wear that style anymore (flare or boot cut). Sadly, they were all pretty high end designer like Rock and Republic, Citizens of Humanity, James Jeans, and the like :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-with-your-pre-preg-jeans#post-343951 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 21:41:00 +0000 immabeetoo 343951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cocobee Just wanted to chime in - I didn't sell any of my jeans, but I sent some shirts in to Twice and just got paid. They give you a range of prices to expect and then send you a free shipping label, and an offer. I think their prices were comparable to our local shop that gives you cash for clothes. It was pretty quick - and I'd definitely do it again! Just an option if you want to sell them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-with-your-pre-preg-jeans#post-339648 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 17:22:59 +0000 calsmom 339648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Muffin tops are my issue and always have been. It's worse now and I'm super self-conscious about it. I now have a slight pooch which sucks bc I always had a flat stomach pre-prego. My jeans fit, but they aren't comfy. I don't want to get grown-up jeans though lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-with-your-pre-preg-jeans#post-339628 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 16:25:48 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 339628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear mine! I didn't think it would happen but I am and they're actually getting loose. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-with-your-pre-preg-jeans#post-339624 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 16:09:18 +0000 pastemoo 339624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee: That is pretty awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-with-your-pre-preg-jeans#post-339548 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 13:53:29 +0000 cvbee 339548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm wearing mine now with a belt, because they will fall down if I don't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-with-your-pre-preg-jeans#post-339488 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 11:48:27 +0000 ChelseaRose 339488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was seriously overweight before getting pregnant and I haven't gained too much (12 pounds at 36 weeks), so hopefully they will fit me again. I really hope to make it back down to my smaller sized clothing eventually. I have such a large range of sizes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-with-your-pre-preg-jeans#post-339482 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 11:40:07 +0000 blackbird 339482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Try them on in store-seriously they fit the same except they are longer! Now I can just order them in my size for the most part. Their twill pants are my favorite </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-with-your-pre-preg-jeans#post-339481 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 11:36:36 +0000 googly-eyes 339481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I can't wear them I'll donate them. Luckily I didnt invest too much in them!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-with-your-pre-preg-jeans#post-339423 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 10:27:48 +0000 pastemoo 339423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i wear them with looser shirts...<br /> @Rainbow Sprinkles: I don't know!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-with-your-pre-preg-jeans#post-339422 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 10:27:10 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 339422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh and I agree with mid rise not being mommy. I have always worn jeans a bit higher and I have Sevens, Rock and Republic, Rich and Skinny, Rag and Bone, Citizens, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-with-your-pre-preg-jeans#post-339419 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 10:25:26 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 339419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: my hubby always makes fun of my flat butt now. Why do our butts get flat after having a baby? It was so round before.....lol</p> <p>I am going to sell some and then wear some. My super pre baby janes are size 26 and I doubt I will ever fit them again. They are all pretty spends so I was maybe going to consign them or put them up on a used clothing website. But all my 27s and 28s I can fit into again so im keeping them. And I have always only liked mid rise jeans, so they aren't too low. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-with-your-pre-preg-jeans#post-339416 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 10:18:33 +0000 Mrs. Pen 339416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: yeah I know but I'm always hesitant to buy jeans without trying them on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-with-your-pre-preg-jeans#post-339412 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 10:13:21 +0000 blackbird 339412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coco bee, Loft sells their pants in long online. I have a 35" inseam, so I definitely can't wear their regular length pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-with-your-pre-preg-jeans#post-338676 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 14:18:16 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 338676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope they fit me but honestly they are old anyways do I have them to my sister. If I fit that size again (I think I will because I didn't gain anything on bottom), then I will buy new ones...I'm long overdue for a bit of shopping for myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-with-your-pre-preg-jeans#post-338628 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:59:36 +0000 Weagle 338628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: @chopsuey119: Mine too! I never realized how much I appreciated my butt until I lost it :(</p> <p>I still wear all of my pp jeans, but usually wear a belt and longer tops over the low-rise ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-with-your-pre-preg-jeans#post-338613 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:54:17 +0000 MamaCate 338613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: I have been wearing gap jeans since i was in college. LOFT pants are often too short for me too so the option to get long inseam at gap is nice and they have a variety of styles.</p> <p>I am wearing my pre-preg jeans right now! they don't fit exactly the same but they still work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-with-your-pre-preg-jeans#post-338598 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:48:52 +0000 Mrs. Pen 338598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bree72: I wouldn't say mid/high rise is mommy... it depends on the style. Like I said I owned a pair of MEK jeans which are mid rise but so not mommy!! These are the jeans I have and love: <a href="http://www.buckle.com/mek-st-louis-jean/prd-56470M1STLOB" rel="nofollow">http://www.buckle.com/mek-st-louis-jean/prd-56470M1STLOB</a></p> <p>@blackbird: I love LOFT jeans but they are too short on me :( I used to work there and could never wear their pants (which is dress code) so I ALWAYS had to wear dresses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-with-your-pre-preg-jeans#post-338591 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:46:31 +0000 BananaPancakes 338591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm just hoping I'll fit back into them one day, at this point. They are all designer jeans, so it's a lot of money to just get rid of them. Size 4 seems reallllly far away right now. I wore a higher rise before baby, though, so they're mommy jeans anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-with-your-pre-preg-jeans#post-338586 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:44:22 +0000 blackbird 338586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My pants are all from Banana Republic, Loft, and Paige. I just couldn't do low cut in the office anymore! Mid-rise but not mom-jeans. Yep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-with-your-pre-preg-jeans#post-338562 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:39:54 +0000 rachiecakes 338562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: my butt is super flat now, too :(<br /> but my abs are no longer toned, I've got a little fluff on top and sides.. ugh</p> <p>I fit into my pre-pregnancy jeans but the butt is saggy and the waistband is snug (not tight, but not loose like the rear and thighs).. what to do... </p>
