I sold almost all of my maternity clothes, but I have this one maternity shirt from Gap that I cannot let go of. I'm actually wearing it today...it's SO comfortable! It's not obviously a maternity shirt, so that helps.
Do you ever still wear maternity clothes even though you're no longer pregnant?

Yep!! The maternity ribbed tanks from old navy are my favourite!! I have a long torso and they're long enough on me. M is 13 months old !! Haha

Yep - I have a few long sleeve maternity t-shirts that I sleep in - they are sooo soft!
I also have a maternity dress that I still wear - its an empire waist and looks like a regular dress!

@sslm: Oh I forgot about my H&M maternity tanks! I love love them because they're so long. I workout in them all the time!

I have a couple of Asos tops that are really Bohemian looking and not obviously maternity. I wear them all the time!

Wearing a maternity tank right now! They're so long and comfortable. I also have a combo maternity/nursing top that I wear a lot, because its so good for BFing.

Nope! I loved the gap maternity tanks... but I packed it all away when I fit into prebaby clothes as motivation to get back in shape!

I still wear maternity stuff, and I'm about 4.5 months pp. I stopped wearing maternity shirts when I had three people ask me when I am due, but I wore maternity pants to work exclusively until last week.
Honestly, I'd love to wear maternity clothing forever, but in an effort to motivate myself to be healthy, I'm going to try to wear more regular clothing.

I still wear my maternity slacks. They're just way more comfortable than regular slacks!

Motherhood camis, I still wear them daily! And I have one maxi skirt I still wear, you can't tell it's maternity!

I have a Gap maternity skirt that I still wear too. It doesn't have a panel or anything, it's just a pencil skirt made of stretchy material and it's super comfy so I still wear it!

Nope, with one exception. I'm just weird about it for some reason. My MIL told me she told my SIL to share some maternity clothes with me (her son was 1.5) and she said she was still wearing them. That SCARED me so I think I just packed them up ASAP. The only thing I"m wearing still are my stretchy under-tanks, not because of the maternity, they fit like spanx but a tank top so I just like them! I need to try to find a non maternity version (or buy new maternity ones for next baby!

Nope, but I am tempted to sometimes or when I see something really cute I think to myself, "I should get that for when I'm pregnant next time!!" Yea.... I'm crazy. lol

Honestly, I like some of my maternity clothes better than my prepregnancy ones! I'm still in a bunch now 2 mos pp but I think I'll keep them in the rotation for awhile. Like, tops that are not obviously maternity but just long

Haha, not any more, but my maternity clothes were terrible, I didn't do the best job picking them out and I really wore them to the point of not wanting to look at them anymore.

I wear the long, stretchy tanks still, but I've packed up everything else. Part of that is because I was mostly pregnant during cold weather, so my maternity wardrobe is really not useful to me now that it's June.

I have away all my clothes, except for the tanks. Most you can't even tell
watermelon / 14206 posts
Nope. All maternity clothes got donated as soon as my normal clothes fit. But I was practically pregnant for two years straight, so I was happy to say goodbye.

I will probably wear mine a couple of months after birth. The pants are super comfy! Although I agree with an earlier post: probably a good motivator to NOT wear them. Don't even want to think about exercising

I wear some of my maternity tanks. I used to wear my maternity pencil skirt, but once someone asked me how far along I was, I packed those away and haven't looked back. (I was six months postpartum).

I have a pair of J crew maternity pants that I still wear, but they don't look maternity and they are the only black skinny pants I own.
apricot / 453 posts
Yes! All are plain tanks or tees that don't really look maternity - I'm 5'8" and it's hard to find tanks/tees that are long enough sometimes - so I like maternity shirts for this. Plus it helps hide my post baby belly/muffin top! 
I'm wearing one today, actually.

Well I'm embarrassed to say that I only just recently stopped wearing my mat pants and I'm about 10m PP. I finally had to give up all my mat clothes cause my SIL announced she was pregnant so I passed them along. I could totally fit in my own clothes but my mat pants were so comfy. I must admit I kept a couple pairs of sweatpants back that I still wear!

Nope! I didn't wear a lot of maternity clothes when I was pregnant anyways.
hostess / wonderful honeydew / 32460 posts
HAhaha I did for a while.
I got rid of everything after I started fitting into my prebaby clothes.

I have a dress that is maternity and looks better on me NOT pregnant than it ever did pregnant. People laugh when they ask me where I got it and I tell them. It's so cute!

I have only one pair of yoga pants from old navy the ate maternity. I just fold down the panel

I've never been pregnant and one of my favorite items of clothing (a grey/dark grey striped sweater from Gap) is Maternity. I got it at a thrift store. Now that I am KO I can't wait to wear it for its intended purpose. :}

I have a feeling the tanks will be a lifelong staple for me, they are so long and don't stretch out the way some others have for me. I haven't bought a ton of stuff though so I have a feeling most of it will be retired pretty quickly.
