I'm 4 months PP and my hips still haven't gone back to where they were before I was pregnant! I have a closet full of (expensive) pants that I really want to wear. Did your hips finally go back to where they were and how long did it take?

I feel like my hips are more narrow now. I can slip my pre-baby pants off without unbuttoning/unzipping!
I think it's partly because my BUTT has gotten FLATTER. It's sad.
It took about 9 months for me to get something that looks like my old body back.
Still have some more to lose though.

Hmmm... I don't know. My LO is 6 months but I think my belly is the reason I don't fit into my old pants, not my hips.

I am pretty sure my hips will never be the same. As sad as it is, when I was pregnant the first time I was able to fit my pants all up until I gave birth and then they didn't fit.... Three years later and they still don't

I'm sorry to ask but is it because you are still carrying weight or is everyone less or same as pre-pregnancy? I'm at my old weight but those hip bones aren't helping!!

I was at less than my original weight for over a year after having baby but it didn't make a difference. I have since gained weight but I still don't tgink my hips have changed.

I gained over 40 pounds with my pregnancy and I was so scared my body would never be the same. I'm only 5 feet tall so this was a lot of extra weight. I think I just have good genes because my baby is 11 weeks and I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight and my hips have not permanently expanded...I can fit into my old jeans, but can't really wear them comfortably because of my c-section scar...also my skin is still pretty loose...
