I'm 6 weeks PP and I'm still wearing my maternity pants.  I'm back down to the weight I was at my first appointment when I was 8 weeks pregnant, but I have a belly now that I didn't have before so only one pair of my regular jeans fit.  Now that I'm back to work I'm wearing maternity pants with my regular non-maternity tops. 

Can you do that - combine maternity bottoms with a regular fall top that you already have?  Or just add a cardigan to your summer outfit to warm it up?

I'm going to try to avoid buying new clothes as long as I can since I'm hoping I'll continue to lose weight.

I'm back in my normal clothes, but I've been just wearing basketball shorts and tank tops mostly, bc it's more comfortable and I have a good excuse to :)

I could only wear maternity dresses & hospital underwear due to having a c-section & anything around the incision was unbearable first week and a half. I transitioned into yoga pants, tank tops, & oversized boy shorts for underwear. Now I'm back in my jeans (the ones I considered my fat jeans pre-pregnancy) but can't button so I went ghetto and used a hair tie to make it more loose & I'm back in regular tops. Still wearing undies couple sizes too big to keep hiked up over incision.

I have 5 more pounds to loose but still do not fit in any or my prepregnancy clothes. I started back to work this week, so I had to go buy a couple pairs of pants but I am hoping my clothes will fit soon. There is no way I can afford a new wardrobe right now. I didn't get paid for maternity leave so I am broke. My wedding ring still doesn't fit either. So I am stuck wearing a cheap avon ring =0( Can't wait to get back to the size I was before and maybe loose another 5 pounds on top of that.

I can fit into one pair of my pre-pregnancy jeans but they give me a serious muffin top. I work in a lab, so no one cares what I wear, so I've been wearing yoga pants and non-maternity tops. Today I'm in a pair of non-maternity jeggings and an oversized top.

In a few weeks I'll probably go to TJ Maxx and buy one pair of jeans in a larger size, because I'm really sick of stretchy pants and jeans are a wardrobe staple for me. I don't know how long it will take me to lose the last ten to fifteen pounds I still need to lose, and more importantly I don't know if my body shape will be the same, so I may not wear my pre-pregnancy jeans for a while or ever again. In the meantime I want pants that button.

I'm back to my normal clothes if I chose to wear them. I'm wearing my normal shorts and some shirts but I wear alot of the maternity skirts still. I had a C-section so anything thats not rubbing my scar is what I'm wearing.

I am back down to my pre-pg weight, but my middle is still smooshy.  I have only wore athletic shorts and sweat pants with a hoodie or t-shirt.

I hope I dont have to wear normal clothes any time soon!

my pre-baby shirts fit but not the pants (except 2 pairs that were big on me before I was pregnant. So for now its yoga pants! I am 8wks pp... I feel like Ive "flattened" out post-baby but Im still not toned like I was before and My hips feel wider. I have a feeling that will be an issue until I stop nursing and/or I can get back to the gym to run on a regular basis

I am back down to pre-pregnancy weight and I can wear all my pre-pregnancy tops, but have been wearing tanks or shirts that are easy to nurse in.  NONE of my pre-pregnancy jeans fit even my fat ones, my hips/ thighs/ butt are much larger then before. Most of my old pants I squeeze past my hips and then can not button them without having a muffin top.  They are soo tight through my hips/butt that I will rip them.  I have two pairs of pre-preg. dress pants and three pairs of pre-preg. shorts that fit okay, but I have been wearing exercise loose shorts/ yoga pants around.  

I did have to go buy three new pairs of work pants b/c my hips are not going to shrink any time soon.  I also bought 1 new pair of jeans for $10 at Marshalls!

I am 6 weeks PP, I have not returned to work yet so mostly I wear pj/sweat pants and size L t shirts (all of which have spit up stains... ;) )

when I actually go out I was wearing my maternity capris and a cute pink maternity top (that even after having the baby doens't look too bad) but since its been getting colder I have tried to wear my normal jeans (don't button or zipper yet- so I use the BeBand) but I forgot that the BeBand falls down a lot so its annoying.  I have been wearing my maternity jeans going out when its cooler- but again they fall down (and you can see the annoying part that goes over the belly)

I go back to work in a month and with in a few weeks I plan on giving in and buying a pair of larger jeans that will actually fit me.  I figured the weight isn't going to come off as fast as I wanted!

Try going to a consignment shop or a nicer salvation army or goodwill to get some cheap "filler" clothes to wear before you are back in your regular clothes.

Right now I'm still in my maternity pants or anything with stretch (gauchos, yoga pants, athletic shorts) but have been able to get out some of my bigger regular tops that i have bought after previous pregnancies to fill the gap of clothing sizes. Most of my maternity tops accentuate my non-baby belly so those have gotten packed away already.

I'm almost down to my pre-prego weight at 2 mo pp, but still have the hips and belly. My maternity clothes didn't fit the day I left the hospital, I was not prepared for that, btw. I went and splurged on a pair of regular jeans when I was about 3 weeks pp and they are getting to be too big, but I still live in them and they are so much more comfortable than my maternity jeans,plus it's nice to know I'm still losing the inches even if the scale has stopped getting smaller numbers.
