Maternity Clothes

Options
So when do you think the line should be drawn for how long it acceptable to wear them? Is there even a line? I fit ok in one pair of pre pregnancy jeans (my first pair of non low rise jeans or "mom jeans" as my husband and I call them that I bought a few years ago when I was heftier than usual) and am barely fitting into another (with a huge muffin top). So sad, my pregnancy jeggings are still my go to jeans. Baby is almost a year old. ahhh the shame.

    I still wear mine, 9 months pp. I will admit I feel ashamed to wear them, but it's what fits currently.

    Personally, I couldn't wait to get out of my maternity clothes. I did have to buy a couple pairs of jeans and I do spend a lot of time in yoga pants... but by about 3 months PP I was so done with them. lol

    But honestly, to each their own and if you like wearing maternity pants, do it! I know the first time I tried them on I told my mom I was never going back to "normal" pants (and here I am, lol!)

    I had a couple of nice maternity dresses that I'd still wear if I hadn't loaned them to a friend. And I have a hoodie I still wear as it's comfortable.

    I mostly wear dresses and tights though so I don't need to wear maternity, and I'm hoping I'll fit into my old jeans soon.

    I still wear a lot of stretchy maternity tops that are easier fr pulling up or down for nursing. I don't wear any of my maternity pants ad they're all too large now. Finally putting all my mat clothes kn my closet away except for those 4 stretchy t shirts. Buy clothing for your new body that fits you now. You will look a lot better wearing things that for it your current body.

    I'm 10 month post pregnancy and still wear some of the stuff. If it's comfy and fits I say wear it. You paid enough for the dang things you might as well get the use out of them.
