I'm only 3 months pp, so early days yet. My thighs got super skinny during pregnancy--baby took all of my fat. But my hips are definitely wider. It makes me sad to have to give away my favorite jeans, especially when my weight is back to normal. I think the shoes not fitting is the most frustrating though. My feet are longer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-how-your-clothes-fit-postpartum-stop-changing#post-2355924 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 16:10:36 +0000 snowjewelz 2355924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rockies11: I haven't been accepting this truth lol and still more or less keep my clothes and once in a while try to squeeze into them to see if I fit again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-how-your-clothes-fit-postpartum-stop-changing#post-2355914 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 16:07:32 +0000 Rockies11 2355914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: yeah totally - every single shirt, blazer and suit jacket is like that! And the pants I used to wear are like doll's clothes or something. I can't even get them up my legs. Even my extensive shoe collection does not fit at all whatsoever! It's frustrating because I built up a collection of really beautiful clothes all through my 20s working and then boom, back to nothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-how-your-clothes-fit-postpartum-stop-changing#post-2355899 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 16:01:55 +0000 snowjewelz 2355899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rockies11: Ugh me too! Clothes don't fit in the armpit/rib cage area and I'm convinced it's permanent and has nothing to do with weight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-how-your-clothes-fit-postpartum-stop-changing#post-2355897 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 16:01:22 +0000 simplyfelicity 2355897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm four months pp and my clothes fit for the most part but my boobs are HUGE and I have a deflated pooch. I should add, I haven't been exercising besides long walks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-how-your-clothes-fit-postpartum-stop-changing#post-2355892 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 15:57:28 +0000 Meowkers 2355892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think about 5 months pp my body was mostly back to my pre-pregnancy shape and size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-how-your-clothes-fit-postpartum-stop-changing#post-2355841 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 15:19:27 +0000 Rockies11 2355841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayLou: I am 2.5 years pp from my first, 6 months pp from my second. I now weigh the same as I did before I got pregnant with my first and my shape is totally different still. My clothes from before do not fit at all - I am much wider than I used to be, and everything is just bigger even though I am in reasonably good shape. I kept some of my very favourite things in a box downstairs in case some magic happens, but I have bought lots of clothes that better fit and flatter my current shape! I haven't bought anything really nice though - I think I will wait until I am done having kids and some time has passed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-how-your-clothes-fit-postpartum-stop-changing#post-2355826 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 15:12:28 +0000 fancyfunction 2355826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was back to my body size/shape by about 5 mo pp. so I wouldn't get rid of your stuff yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-how-your-clothes-fit-postpartum-stop-changing#post-2355809 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 15:01:51 +0000 LindsayLou 2355809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I weigh less than I did before getting pregnant, and most of my clothes fit size-wise. But many of them fit differently. I want to get rid of half my wardrobe, but worry that my body shape will keep changing and then I'll wish I still had the old clothes. When did you feel that your body shape settled into the new normal? </p>
