This question is for mommies?

Question

I know this is a wierd question but are there any other mommies that had a baby several months ago and still fit some of their maternity cloths.I gave birth 8 months ago and I lost most of my belly but I still need all that extra room in my hips,thighs,and b*****s.I feel like a failure.Am I the only one?Just curious

Answer 1

I gave birth 3 months ago... I have 5lbs to lose which is great... but all my weight seemed to have shifted! My b***s shrank and my butt got bigger... my hips... they will never be the same again... they are wider... I guess to hold lil' Levi on them. Oh yeah I never got stretch marks until AFTER birth... and I still have that line that goes straight up and down my tummy... LOL I have never been happier and my body will NEVER be the same... oh the joys of motherhood :)  Congrats on the baby!

Answer 2

I gave birth 5 months ago and still wear clothes that are to big for me. I didn't know how confined I felt in the clothes I use to wear before I got pregnant. I would rather wear loose fitting clothes than form fitting like I use to.

Answer 3

Nope you're not the only one I am still trying to lose the last 12 pounds and it is SO hard.

Answer 4

This is actually quite normal!! It is not nearly so commen to completely fit back into your prepregnancy clothes.

I have had the same problem and I asked my doctor and was told that when you have a baby your hip bones actually spread. Some people's hip bones may go back to normal and many do not. I know mine didn't! Regardless of how small I get I will never fit back into all the same old clothes!

My hips are permenantly wider! I know that it takes a full year before your body/bones will be back to where they will more than likely permenantly be.

Don't be discouraged!! Your body has gone through a HUGE transition and just opened up to the degree to allow a BABY to pass through!!!

Congrats on your little one!
