Question for the moms who got back to pre-pg weight

Right before I got PG I started buying some suit separates since I was at my goal weight.  I have no doubt that after this pregnancy I will get back there but I am just concerned that while my weight will be there my body will not with all the changes.  The size I bought fit me just right, fitted but not too tight but also not a lot of room for "changes".  I still have the tags on them and could exchange them now for the next size.  So my question is if you got back to your pre-pg weight did you end up in the same size as before?

Re: Question for the moms who got back to pre-pg weight

  • Yes, and in some cases, smaller. But, my figure shape is different so some of my pre-preg clothes just don't fit the same as before. In my case, my tummy just is not as flat and my waist no li ger as narrow so items that used to fit perfectly around my midsection no longer look right.

  • It was pretty much the same at first, but then when I quit bf the weight from my boobs shifted to my legs even though my weight stayed the same. Still, I fit into all my pre pregnancy clothes.

  • Same size but like other PPs, my body shape was different, some clothes fit differently even though I weighed the same...
  • My body shape changed completely after my first pregnancy but not so much after the others.

    ha! that made me picture your boobs hanging down to your legs. and not in a creepy way, just in a post pg/bf boob way.

    Things just fit differently post preg. I actually got in better shape after DD then I had been before her so my size changed, but it took time. I could wear my old suits again after awhile. But I remember right after she was born I had lost the majority of the weight in the hosptial so I got the bright idea to try on some of my "fat clothes" (I was about 15 lbs higher then pre-pg so the same weight as the fat clothes). I couldn't even zip the pants. I sat and cried in the shower for an hour. don't do that.

  • I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight right away, but yeah, it took almost a year for my body to go back to normal. Now I am about 20lbs less than my pre-pregnancy weight, so that could be why my body is back to normal. I feel like I had about a 5 month pregnant belly for a good 8 months post-pregnancy =/

  • My rib cage expanded and will forever be about an inch wider and my hips are an inch wider too. I have never had a tiny waist (I'm built more like a ruler), but now that DS is almost 2 I am a smaller size than I was when I got pregnant. I'm not as toned and my stomach will never be the same, but I look almost the same in clothes. Swimsuits are another story.

  • I'm 6lbs away from my pre-pg weight...not going to fit into any of my clothes any time soon!  Definitely another body shift.

  • it took a little while but everything pretty much went back to where it was before. i was back to my pre-pg weight when dd was 5 months old. i'm hoping i can make the same thing happen again. :)

  • I was 30 pounds below prepregnancy weight (I've gained back to prepregnancy weight now, boo) and my shape is different. More weight in my stomach now -- even 30 pounds less my stomach was only 2 inches smaller than it was before. I'm not quite as crazy curvy as I was before, but still curvy.
