My baby is 15 months and I still wear my black dressy maternity pants to work. Unfortunately, I still haven`t lost all that baby weight I put on so thats probably why I can still fit them. They`re so comfortable though.

I didnt after I had my babies. Yoga pants til my lady parts felt a little better and that was the extent of it. Sweats make me feel like Ive just given up on my appearance. Same with maternity clothes PP.

I only bought 2 pairs of maternity bottoms. One pair of nice jeans and a nice pair of capris. I wore black yoga pants to work and wore them below my belly so they fit me now too. Other than that, I wore my pre-pregnancy skinny jeans up until I was about 36 weeks. I popped them back on a week after having our son. And that first week I just wore pj or comfy pants. Some of my pre-pregnancy pants are actually big on me now at 2 months PP

My belly shrunk almost immediately after I had my baby. I never wore them after. I lost so much weight that my pre pregnancy jeans/pants were too big and i had to buy new ones.

Do people still manufacture maternity wear? What`s wrong with normal stretchy clothes that doesn`t look like army tents? I mean there is a wide variety of tasteful stretch pants on the market, with or without brand names, so why maternity wear? I think maternity wear makes beautiful women look their mother in laws. Just my opinion.

I was lucky and fit into them right away but it was summer so I preferred dresses

I would say about 2 weeks. By then i was back to my fat pants. It was a while into i was into my pre-pregnancy pants.

I refused to wear my maternity pants after i had my daughter, i usually wore sweat pants around the house but did buy two pairs of bigger jeans that i wore for about two months then got back into my prepreggo pants.

I wore pjs until I could get to the store, was 2 weeks PP. Because I LOATHED maternity pants. It was the MOST depressing experience ever. I once was a size 00. I gained 82lbs during my pregnancy. I went to Kohl`s and the pants I bought were a 15/17! LOL. Good news. I`m down to a 3/5 :) Oh, and I BF, I`m 7 months PP, first child, and I`ve lost 50lbs. I personally think it doesn`t matter if you BF or not, your body is going to loose weight how it wants.

2 weeks. But I was really lucky, first time mom and the weight melted off really quickly because of breastfeeding.

I trashed the maternity pants asap.. switched to sweat pants. hahaha.. not much better but at least it made me feel better.

Im curious, because my husband and I just got into an argument over how long was acceptable or the norm. He was making fun of me because I wore mine about 3 months after having my daughter. #1 reason was I just needed new pants, and I didnt fit into my prepregnancy jeans as in they were too big. I didnt have the money until about 3 months after having my daughter to buy some nice fitting jeans.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
