I was looking at a pair of my pre-pregnancy work pants this morning thinking that there is no way they're going to fit when I go back to work 12-16 weeks PP. Did you have to buy new clothes PP?
-
My pants fit but I am having to buy new tops since I am BF my boobs are largeeee
-
I didnt go back to work full time but my work wardrobe fit at 12 weeks. If anything, was a little loose.
I don't think I was in the norm though. -
Mine actually did, and I was pretty surprised. I lost a lot of the weight almost immediately PP due to breast feeding. I also don't think I was in the norm either though...
-
I wore a size larger than what I wore pre pregnancy when I went back to work. I just bought a pair of black and gray pants to get through the few weeks I was that size.
-
Yup, I was a size bigger than the biggest I had been over time. I bought two pairs of pants to get me through a few weeks until I lost enough to fit into the bigger end of my wardrobe.
-
Ugh - no. Still wearing maternity pants at 13 weeks PP, which are waaayyy too baggy
-
I had to buy new clothes.

i had to buy new clothes
-
I bought some work pants at gap.. they always have sales and are inexpensive to start with..
-
most of my clothes fit - i did buy a new pair of jeans (we're really casual at my office) -- and some of my shirts are a little bit tight with my bigger boobs, but mostly everything fit.
-
i remember looking at my size 0/2 work pants at about 8 weeks PP thinking there was no way in HELL i would be able to even fit them over my thighs, but magically when i went back at 12 weeks they fit! and unfortunately, my boobs have not gotten bigger at all even tho i am BFing, so all of my tops fit the same. i was really hoping for some bigger boobs!
-
pants and skirts fit, can't wear ANY of my button downs though
-
My clothes fit pretty well once I went back to work. I gained back some weight breastfeeding. My sweaters still don't fit well with the boobs. I can't wait to wear maxi skirts and dresses to work again (loved it during pregnancy) to hide some of the weight that I'm working on dropping.
-
All of my clothes fit when I went back to work at 16 weeks PP. I was 4 lbs below pre-preg weight.
-
I went back at 5.5 months post partum, so they did.
But they didn't at 12 weeks - it was more like 16 weeks when stuff started fitting more normally again.
-
I hope mine do, but if not, i'll bella band them and wear a lot of dresses for a month. I plan on getting back into Crossfit at 8 weeks post partum, though.
-
I was in pre preg clothes at 10 days post partum and had to buy new (smaller) clothes by the time I went back to work at 15 weeks pp.
-
I went back at 7 weeks and nope, most did not fit. Especially tops, no way.
I made myself feel better by buying some new items. -
I went back at 12 weeks and had to buy new pants a size up. Got two black, one grey and a few flowy shirts. I just needed enough to get me through until more of the weight goes away. I wish it would have gone away with breastfeeding, but not so much.
-
I went back at 12 weeks and was still doing the rubber band trick on my pants. It was late October and getting cold, so I could hide under sweaters. Being able to fit back into my clothes for work was definitely a motivation to lose the baby weight.
-
I went back at 12 weeks and didn't have to buy a new wadrobe, b/c I'm I wear scrubs with a drawstring!
-
I still wore some maternity pants and I bought a few bigger tops, but for the most part, I was able to make my pre-pregnancy wardrobe work.
