Confession I gave birth 8 months ago but my maternity leggings are still my FAVORITE because they don't hit and make a muffin top, so I still wear them all the time. Anyone else still rocking maternity wear long after needed?

I wore my maternity tanks from GapMaternity forever - they were so long and stretchy, perfect under tunic sweaters and wraps.. wish I still had them!

I only wore maternity pants for maybe 6 weeks pp before buying done regular jeans. I wore maternity tops for 14 months (mixed in with regular tops), at which point I got pregnant again... So I guess I never stopped.

I was out of maternity pants a week after birth, but that's mainly because they were all stretched out and didn't fit properly anymore. So I switched to yoga pants Still wearing maternity tops at 4 months pp!

I still wear maternity clothes (the ones that are not obviously maternity) now and my kid turns 2 in three months.

I stopped pretty quickly- anything seasonal was SO big and stretched out from being worn constantly, plus most of my tops were ruched which screams maternity.
However long non ruched tanks stayed in the rotation until I got pregnant again.

i wore my maternity jeans for a good 3 months before i finally accepted i was not going to fit into my prepreg jeans anytime soon and bought new regular jeans in a bigger size. I never stopped wearing my maternity yoga pants - they are the only yoga pants i own and it was easy enough to fold down the panel and make them look normal.

About 8 weeks with the few I had. I hated maternity clothes. They never fit me right. I mostly just ended up buying larger sizes.

Umm I wore my maternity jeans for like a year after lo was born and still wear a few maternity tops that are more long than anything else, and lo is 19 moths now. Actually, right now I'm still in my pjs, which are maternity leggings and a nursing top. Lol. (And I've lost the baby weight-- these are just still comfy!)

I boxed it all up and put it in the attic at 4 weeks. Not because I was skinny and didn't need it anymore, but because I knew if I could fall back on it I would never get out of it. I also was SO sick of my maternity clothes and missed zippers.

I'm 3 months pp and still wearing my gap maternity tanks/shirts & leggings. I still haven't lost much of the baby weight and nothing fits. Everytime I put on jeans I just rip them off later.

I'm still wearing my maternity jeans at 5 almost 6 months postpartum. I wish all jeans just had the comfy elastic band.

I have a super cute sweatshirt with lace appliqué and you honestly can't tell its maternity. I stil get compliments all the time.
Oh and I wear a pair of leggings too, but I sorta think they don't count
ETA: I'm 14 months PP!

I finally gave up on maternity clothes a year after my second was born. I loved my maternity leggings and was sad to let them go.

This summer, I still wore maternity shorts. The soft stretchy fold over panel kept my belly tucked in and they were just comfy, shrug. I wore some maternity shirts through the winter (I had a September baby) because they were just billowy/tunic tops that weren't obviously maternity and I still wear some jersey gaucho pants when I'm slumming at home because they are comfy.

Ha! I still wear my maternity leggings and some tank tops. I love how long they are! (My son is two btw). I am 7 weeks pregnant so now it isn't so weird.

@LuLu Mom: I hated the pants and stopped immediately, so I just wore elastic waist skirts hanging low, and my same tops and dresses.... most of which are technically not maternity tops, and wore some maternity tops more than 2 years later.

10 months PP and still wear my maternity tanks all the time! They are just the perfect length! Also i wear my maternity leggings because they squish my muffin top in

I wore my maternity jeans until 6 months pp. Then I just donated them. Everything else, I wore until I was around 3 weeks pp. I was just sick of the tops on constant rotation.

Some of the jammies I wore for a long time, just pulled the string tighter. I also ended up wearing my maternity panties for that time of the month. Some still 3 years later lol

I never wore anything maternity again after I gave birth. Not because I was super skinny but I was just so sick of them and wanted to feel normal.

@LuLu Mom: I'm not parting with my maternity leggings either. They are amazing. I'm 9 weeks pp, and that and maternity tank tops are so comfy. I gave away everything but those!

I wore my maternity shorts until it got too cold just this month, and my baby is three months old. I'd still be wearing them if it were hot. Beside that I mostly wear leggings and running tights and I just bought those in a bigger size, since these five pounds don't seem to be leaving.

@babynumber1: yep me too! I've sold it all but wasn't about to part ways with my favorite leggings!

About 5 weeks. I switched back to my looser shirts first, those were actually more of a problem than pants.

LO is 2 years old and I still wear my maternity tank tops. I have retired everything else but I wore my maternity jeans for a loooong time! They are so much better than regular jeans!
