Boy did I have a reality check today.
DD is 2 months and I haven't bought new clothes. I've been wearing my maternity pants with bella band and sweats since we don't really go "out" anywhere yet.
Well we are going away next week so I figured I'd buy a new pair of jeans just to hold me over until I lose the weight I need to lose.
Well ... I went up 3 sizes. I want to cry. I gained 40 lbs with pregnancy but lost 28 so far. I was 20 lbs heavier than I would have liked before I was pregnant so I just feel like a big mush.
And- I feel like my c section scar is an automatic roll maker.

Re: Boy did I have a reality check today.
Please remember you are only 2 months pp. I am 9 months and JUST starting to get my body back, which is what alot of people told me, it takes 9 months to make a baby, give your body 9 months to go back.
ETS; I JUST bought new clothes this past weekend, I lived in leggings and sweats for 9 months, in the summer all I wore was dresses!

Re: Boy did I have a reality check today.
No matter WHAT the scale says - your body has to revert back to it's original shape - your body took 9 months to accomodate growing a child, and now you need to give your body time to go back.... our hips have widened, our shape has changed, heck - everything is different.... it will go back...!!

Re: Boy did I have a reality check today.
If I remember correctly, my weight dropped pretty quickly (except the last 5 pounds) but it was distributed totally differently so my pants didn't fit for months.
By 10 months, I was back to my normal shape. Everyone told me it took me 9 months for pregnancy and that it takes about the same time to go back.

Re: Boy did I have a reality check today.
12 weeks was the magic number for me. It will happen, don't be frustrated just yet!

Re: Boy did I have a reality check today.
I remember feeling the same way at 2 months pp. It is too soon. The weight will continue to just come off on its own especially if you are BFing. For me, it took six months.

Re: Boy did I have a reality check today.
It takes time, you will get there.
I am only 2 weeks post partum, I am already stressing too. I know it will take some time but it's hard not to feel frumpy when I'm in sweats and maternity clothes. I hope sooner rather than later I will return to pre-pregnancy size.
We will both get there!!

Re: Boy did I have a reality check today.
9 months on 9 months off. Even when you lose all the weight things may not fit right. Just remember you will get your body back. It just takes time

Re: Boy did I have a reality check today.
I am 2 mos pp as well. Nothing fits me anymore and I've gone up 4 sizes. My belly looks like I'm in the 1st trimester. Hips are much bigger with love handles hanging out. It's depressing. =( I need to start working out and go on a diet (not bf). Its nice to know other mothers say it takes 9 mos bc i've seen some that go back to pre preg size right after the baby

Re: Boy did I have a reality check today.
I totally understand your frustration. I actually weigh about 10 lbs. less than I did before I conceived either of my children, and NONE of my clothes from that time fit me.
I'm getting back to WW ASAP.
Lots of to you, because I understand how frustrating it is to have a closet full of clothes that you can't wear...even though the scale says you SHOULD be able to.

Re: Boy did I have a reality check today.
I think most of us have felt this way. DS is 5 months old and I haven't even tried to wear non-maternity pants yet! I wear them or sweats. I went back to work rather quickly too and it's been difficult. I keep telling myself that it took 9 months to get this way, so it will take time to get back. I'm starting WW at work so I'm hoping that helps  Don't stress too much- we've all been there or in my case, is there
