I felt like my only options were nursing tank and button up shirt or cardigan. I hated going out because I had to dress in normal clothes and I found that hard.<br /> at home I wore lots of sweats and loose shirts.<br /> if you are nursing, invest in GOOD nursing tanks and bras. I got the cheapest stuff I could find and I think that is why I had such trouble...they were not flattering or comfortable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-postpartum#post-377440 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 11:25:39 +0000 chopsuey 377440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What I wear at home now.. sweatpants and camis! I was a sweating machine for the first few weeks.. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-postpartum#post-377429 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 11:15:18 +0000 yellowbird 377429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one pair of jeans that fit, so I wear those when going out of the house. I wear a tank top, nursing bra and cardigan most days so I can easily nurse, but still be warm. At home I'm in lounge pants all day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-postpartum#post-377420 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 11:04:57 +0000 autumnlove 377420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yoga pants and shorts, nursing tanks, cotton underwear! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-postpartum#post-377410 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 10:57:20 +0000 Bao 377410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yoga pants, sweatpants, shorts, tank tops, night time nursing bras... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-postpartum#post-377317 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 08:55:13 +0000 Springtime 377317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>anything comfy! yoga pants, sweatpants, nursing tanks. If I went out in public I would try to squeez into my pre-preg clothes, didn't go so well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-postpartum#post-377311 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 08:35:54 +0000 littlecasita1122 377311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yoga pants and then I would wear skirts with a stretchy waist when we went out (gave birth in June). I wore maternity shirts for the probably the first couple weeks until my belly finally shrunk a little. Then I found a lot of great tops at the Ann Taylor Loft outlet that were really stretchy at the neckline, so I lived in those all summer since they were nursing friendly. I still wear them now with a cardigan over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-postpartum#post-377241 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 06:09:48 +0000 heffalump 377241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dhs cloths, my dads cloths, and maternity cloths. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-postpartum#post-377216 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 02:50:08 +0000 matador84 377216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of the best pieces of advice I got was to buy Hanes white tees. I'm 9 weeks out and my pre-preg jeans fit.,,but fit weird and barely any tips fit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-postpartum#post-377199 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 00:41:07 +0000 Kemma 377199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nursing singlets (or singlets with stretchy straps), trackpants or yoga pants and merino cardigans (or zip front sweaters).</p> <p>Although I wore my pregnancy pants home from the hospital I lost all of my baby weight within a week and then they were all too big! I'm skinnier now than I was pre-pregnancy so pants with a draw-string waist are my friend (I'd also recommend pants with pockets for carting around nipple cream etc).</p> <p>At night I sleep in my undies and a singlet and I have a warm dressing gown to throw on when I get up to feed LO. I've also bought some bought some nice button-through shirts to wear now that we're starting to get out and about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-postpartum#post-377144 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 23:45:50 +0000 immabeetoo 377144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm planning on wearing leggings and tunic length sweatshirts with nursing tanks underneath :) and loose cardigans. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-postpartum#post-377141 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 23:43:25 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 377141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly yoga pants and tank tops. It took a while until my old clothes fit and I liked to just pull my shirt up real quick for nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-postpartum#post-377138 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 23:40:34 +0000 pinkcupcake 377138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore nursing tanks, yoga pants, and button downs. Easy access to boobs was key! :) </p> <p>Now, 8 months pp, I can kinda fit into my old jeans (they are just a lil tight) but my shirts don't fit bc my boobs are too big :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-postpartum#post-377121 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 23:01:02 +0000 luckypenny 377121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nightgowns , loose dresses , maternity clothes. But honestly for the first month I never got out of my pajamas :\ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-postpartum#post-377113 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 22:48:10 +0000 Pink Champagne 377113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yoga pants, sweat pants, PJ pants. Tank tops, nursing tops.<br /> If I left the house, I wore yoga pants (see the theme here?) until I was able to squeeze into a pair of pre preg jeans (with the Belly band of course- those things were most definitely not zipped up but I didn't care because they weren't maternity!)<br /> 12 weeks PP, and I have been back in all my pre preg clothes for about 2 weeks now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-postpartum#post-377094 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 21:51:37 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 377094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yoga pants! I'm also wearing my maternity jeans and pre-preg shirts. I'm afraid to try on my normal jeans...my tummy is much smaller, but I think my hips are bigger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-postpartum#post-377079 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 21:42:45 +0000 hilsy85 377079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the first week, I lived in sweats/yoga pants/leggings and nursing tanks or nursing bras with loose t shirts over them. You will get breast milk, spit up, and nipple cream over everything so anything nice would have been wasted! Once I physically felt better, I was wearing more normal clothes (maternity or pre preg clothes) when I went out, but still changing into comfy clothes while at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-postpartum#post-377064 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 21:37:14 +0000 lovehoneybee 377064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My ass, hips and thighs spread too much for my pre-pregnancy jeans to fit yet, so I'm still wearing maternity jeans, usually with nursing tank + cardigan or low-necked shirt/sweater. I'm a SAHM at the moment, and when I'm home it's usually yoga pants (maternity and pre-pregnancy), a nursing tank and a cardigan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-postpartum#post-377049 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 21:29:31 +0000 mrs. wagon 377049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kept wearing my maternity clothes! Once my belly went down a bit I started wearing regular clothes, but almost everything has a stretchy waist.</p> <p>ETA: I'm 3.5 months postpartum and I'm wearing my maternity yoga pants right now! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-postpartum#post-377047 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 21:27:58 +0000 Periwinkle 377047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What kinds of clothes/outfits did you wear (or plan to wear) postpartum? I think I have a few good basics but wondering if I should try to order anything else. </p> <p>Thanks! </p>
