I've never liked low cut jeans so I have some mid rise skinny stretchy jeans from AE that I love, but even those hurt my incision area for weeks! I wore strictly yoga pants for the first 6ish weeks and that was the only way I survived. Now I wear them with my belly band bc they still don't zip I'll prob head to Loft to get some new ones soon.
I was overweight even before getting pregnant, so my favorite jeans were the Levis 512 Slimming jeans. They have a panel that helps shape and slim the tummy pooch.
I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one back in pre-preg jeans! My expectations were high because they fit by the time DS was this old, but they're nowhere near fitting yet. I'm tired of yoga pants but haven't found a better solution yet.
I do have a couple of fold-over waist skirts that I bought from Old Navy early in my pregnancy that are pretty comfy so I've been wearing those too.
I'm all about yoga pants and tank tops at home. When I go out, its yoga pants with a long top. I did just buy a peer of regular jeans, which work better then the maternity jeans at this point. But, they do give me a muffin top pretty badly because my stomach is still so squishy. Once it warms up a tad I'll be in long skirts that I wore early on in pregnancy.
3wks PP. I'm still in yoga/dance pants, nursing camis and light jacket/hoodie. \
I remember w/DS, I wore a dress to church, went to nurse him & realized there was absolutely no way to breastfeed w/o unzipping the top to my waist or hiking up the skirt part to my boob. Pants/tops became church attire for several months.

I definitely realized that the hard way at church too. I pretty much had to take the whole top part of the dress off to avoid hiking up thre whole dress.
Leggings as pants until pants fit. I also am wearing some of my maternity tanks since they are long enough to cover my ass. Also long maxi skirts from the Gap. They can fold over, or not to slim, and are flattering and comfy.
This is me. I also have pallazo pants in this mix. I don't have any nursing tops, but I wear tank tops under everything. I love them and have one in every color.
Does old Navy carry nursing tops in store? I had no idea that nursing tops (other than tanks) were an actual thing. What other retailers sell nursing tops?
I have this shirt. It's nice but the openings are WAY too big. One wrong move and you can see my stomach through the openings. I think I'm going to sew them up some before wearing this shirt again.

Target! I love the Gillian and malley ( something to that effect...) they are cotton and comfy. I can't stand the clingy polyester shirts. I am small up top and have big hips, tight shorts like that never want today down.
I found some cute nursing tops at Figure 8 Maternity. And I'm a picky bitch when it comes to clothes. I got a couple tank tops from A Pea in the Pod.... They work. I actually bought nursing pajama tops, yes pajama tops, from A Pea in the Pod, and I love them. You can't tell they are PJ tops. I think the brand of the majority of the shirts I got are Japanese Weekend, if I remember correctly. Belabumbum also has some great dresses to work with, some are reversible. Anything that is a wrap or faux wrap will work too. Maternity shirts just were not working for me anymore. The pulling down or yanking up was a pain in the ass. I've also bought a few nursing nightgowns that I'm using as dresses too. It works & you can't tell!
I've been using H&M nursing tops that work pretty well. I just throw a sweater on top for going out. For pants... well, I'm mainly in yoga pants at home but going out I've been using my pregnancy pants, even though I am terribly sick of them, just because they are comfy and not too tight in the crotch area.
I've got two weddings coming up and I'm looking for some nice dresses that you can also nurse in. Anyone have any tips/recommendations?

I haven't bought any new clothes yet. I am just wearing tank tops under my shirts and pulling up my shirt to nurse.
I am wearing my pre preg stuff but I honestly don't have much - I cleaned my closet out when I was pregnant and then only bought maternity stuff for the winter. I don't want to buy any new clothes yet until I lose weight and treat myself to some new summer clothes. So I feel blahhh. I also decided that I can no longer shop at forever 21 lol.

Can you get h&m nursing tanks in store?
They have them in most stores here!
mommadozer That's a great idea! I'm gonna have to look around for those
My pre-pregnancy jeans still don't fit, but I'm not ready to commit to buying a whole new set of jeans yet. I'm also sick of wearing my maternity pants with a full panel waistband, especially now that the weather will only be getting hotter here in Florida. I never had any yoga pants, but I went ahead and ordered some because I figured the stretchy waist would be a lot more forgiving in this transitional phase. Now I need to go through my closet and figure out what I have that will look presentable with yoga pants.

I just got this dress at Target for church on Easter! It's a front zip, so awesome and since it's a fit and flare it is really flattering.
Um where the heck is the nursing stuff in Target? Maybe my target sucks? I heard good things about these Gillian O'Malley tanks but I could not find them.
If you are going to the one in Oaks, the selection stinks. Malvern and Rofo are better. With that being said, I got mine online.
Shopping for jeans at Dillard's & both Levi's and JAG make "tummy slimming" pants. They have no zipper or button, just a snug elastic band. It's like low panel maternity pants but less stretchy!

I wore pallazo pants to pick up DS from school and he asked me why was I in pajamas. They are comfy though
I bought new, higher wasted jeans that are labeled as the same size I wore prepregnancy. Gotta work on losing the FUPA, but I was overweight to start. All the squats I did while pregnant and do noware the main factor in not fitting into my old pants, or at least I tell myself that since I weigh less and my butt is noticeably rounder.
I like H&M's faux wrap nursing tops. I should get some of their nursing tanks to wear under t-shirts.
I fit into all of 1 pair of pre preg jeans. It appears that I now have birthing hips and it is a shift in structure that is not likely ever going back. I'm rocking camis and nursing tops from target or pinkblush paired with leggings or yoga pants when I go out. T shirts and PJs at home, not even bothering with the t shirt at night.
