When did you fit into your pre-pregnancy shirts and pants? Some of my maternity clothes don't even fit anymore... Sigh. I'm wondering how long it took everyone to fit back into your old clothes.

I had a csection so I didn't wear jeans for a long time. My LO was born in November so I mostly wore maternity sweaters and stretch pants for several months even though I was back down to my prepregnancy weight after 2 months. I don't think I wore jeans until 3 months pp and I still only wear my longer prepregnancy tops bc my boobs are much bigger now so a lot of my shirts just fit differently. It is taking forever for my skin to tighten up though (LO is almost 8 months)...i just started working out and doing some weights so I think that is helping. Even though my weight is now a little below my prepregnancy weight my body is not the same...it takes time for all that skin to retract from 40 weeks of expanding

6-8 weeks 'ish'......I was totally shocked how fast....it's just my body-type, I think
I never wore really tight stuff to begin with.....today at 11 weeks is my first day wearing a tight-on-the-tummy shirt.....before this I don't think I would have felt okay about that part
....oh, and also some of my button-up shirts don't fit because of my bigger chest

It took a good 4-5 months for me to start wearing prebaby jeans. Everything fit at 9 months pp.

5 weeks but I only gained 25lbs and was down to within 5lbs of my pre-pregnancy weight at that point.

I'm at 5.5 months pp and I'm still 2 sizes bigger than my pre-preggo size, but it's always been hard for me to lose weight without really strict dieting and tons of exercise. Granted, I haven't been exercising or eating as well as I should. But I'm going to start a 6 week bootcamp on Monday so we'll see how I fit into my clothes after that

I can only wear 2 pairs of my pre baby pants, but all of my shirts, jackets, and dresses fit. I am 7 weeks pp.

About 6 weeks. Some of my pants are giving me muffin top but I refuse to go out and buy clothes. Thankfully I tend to wear clothing loose.

I was wearing my pre-preg clothes after 2-3 weeks because I was still healing post c-section. I think that's more of a testament to how I dressed pre-preg though as I typically wore stretchy skinny jeans, lululemon pants and leggings with looser fitting shirts. I was back into all of my clothes after 2 months (and I fully credit breastfeeding and baby stress!).

Can you add a poll?
At 6 weeks, I can fit my old fat pants and most of my old shirts--but it may be months before I can fit my old regular sized pants; I have 1.5-2 inches to go.
