I had bleeding for a full 8 weeks PP. It sucked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-i-want-to-wear-these-post-partum#post-97568 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 13:24:27 +0000 Maysprout 97568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lived in jersey dresses after LO (who was born in May also), but I agree that white might not be your friend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-i-want-to-wear-these-post-partum#post-97514 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 12:28:40 +0000 Lozza 97514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can also use a Bella Band, if you have one, to cover things up if you can mostly fit in your old clothes but not quite button the buttons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-i-want-to-wear-these-post-partum#post-97499 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 12:14:58 +0000 Mrs. Train 97499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought two pairs of jeans in a size up that I could wear a few weeks pp. at about 3 months I fit back into my pre maternity clothes. I loved having the jeans so when I went out I didn't feel like a slob. I know it's a bit vain and no one would care that I was in sweats but I cared and it felt good to be in regular clothes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-i-want-to-wear-these-post-partum#post-97494 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 12:07:01 +0000 heffalump 97494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: For the first 5 months everything I owned was covered in spit up! LO had reflux so it was bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-i-want-to-wear-these-post-partum#post-97416 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 10:49:16 +0000 winniebee 97416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: good point re: white! didn't even think about that... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-i-want-to-wear-these-post-partum#post-97415 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 10:48:56 +0000 winniebee 97415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@volksgirl64: thx! nothing but maternity clothing fit me at 5-6 months and I don't have any big jeans - basically was always a size 2 and never had different size stuff. </p> <p>Thinking maybe will get some more jersey dresses - can wear during last month of pregnancy and then all summer, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-i-want-to-wear-these-post-partum#post-97412 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 10:40:55 +0000 volksgirl64 97412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had jeans in various sizes so I used the bigger ones til I "shrunk" more. Anything that fit you around 5-6 months should work fo r you PP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-i-want-to-wear-these-post-partum#post-97344 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 09:49:18 +0000 heffalump 97344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those are so cute! I don't know if I'd want to wear white though.... you never now when the baby will be pooing, peeing, or spitting up on you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-i-want-to-wear-these-post-partum#post-97297 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 08:58:52 +0000 polkadots 97297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think those would work, i would maybe not buy them in white if they are for the 1st month after birth. I lived in maxi dresses and yoga pants after birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-i-want-to-wear-these-post-partum#post-97296 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 08:57:23 +0000 looch 97296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and yes! Either pair will work, I wore my maternity jeans for another 3 months afterwards, just because I didn't want to spend any money on clothes at the time.</p> <p>I also had those tie waist linen pants that HandM makes every year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-i-want-to-wear-these-post-partum#post-97290 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 08:50:38 +0000 winniebee 97290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am under no delusions that I will be able to wear normal clothing for a month or two post-birth. However, most of my pre-pregnancy clothing is fitted and/or just won't fit me post-birth. So I'm wondering short of jersey dresses, what I'm going to do for the month of June (baby due at end of May). I know lots of that time will be spent inside w/ baby and I'll be in sweats. I'm wondering if these pants would work well for when I want to venture out? They are maternity, but seem like they could also work post birth. </p> <p><a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=5860&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=101023&#038;scid=101023022" rel="nofollow">http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=5860&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=101023&#038;scid=101023022</a></p> <p>Or, maybe just a pair of linen pants in a size up from what I was wearing pre-pregnancy?</p> <p><a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=7520&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=897910&#038;scid=897910012" rel="nofollow">http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=7520&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=897910&#038;scid=897910012</a> </p>
