Moms, help me out here (clothing related)
So, I can get my pre-pg jeans on but those suckers aren't even close to buttoning. I am sick and tired of wearing maternity jeans! Not only because I have been in them since last November but also because now they are big on me and I have to pull them up every 5 seconds. Add in that now they're not flattering and I just feel like a frumpy mess.
I have tried a few places for jeans but nothing is fitting around my belly. I have to keep going up and up in sizes to fit my belly but then the jeans are just left huge on me everywhere else.
Has anyone come across a good brand of jeans that have fit well post-pregnancy?
Re: Moms, help me out here (clothing related)
I found that very low waisted jeans worked great after pregnancy.
I can't remember the brand (I've since passed them on to another pregnant friend), but the pair I had was pretty stretchy and were not maternity, I wore then until 7 months as they were low enough to be under the belly. I was able to get back into them about a week after having M.
I had a pair from old navy, but after about a month of wear they stretched out too much. My most recent have been from Zara, so far they are holding up.
Other pre-pregnancy jeans however are a different story and even now 3 years later, I can't do them up. Man, pregnancy hips suck.
I wore LOTS of leggings/tights/tunics/dresses in various combos for the first couple months. How far are you jeans from buttoning? I also started wearing my Bella Bands from early pregnancy with my pre-preg jeans until I could button them! Now that I am 10 months post partum, I still haven't had the balls the buy new jeans. I "fit" in my old ones, but they are weirdy weirdy weird in lots of places. Like, for example, having the baby did something weird to my butt.
