Question by ASN: How long does it take to get back to pre-pregnancy clothes?
Hi, I’ve gained 30 lbs and am in my 37th week. Just packed away some clothes but wondering when I should expect to take them out again, and if I wear maternity clothes in the meantime, if so how long.
Best answer:
Answer by mindy
Its different for everyone, I could get my pre pregnancy pants back on (but not buttoned) about 2 weeks after I delievered and I gained 30 lbs in my pregnancy. I think I was pretty lucky though.

depends on the person and how much you gain. breastfeeding helps most women lose the weight. it also helps shrink your uterus back down faster. My youngest is 8 weeks old and i’ve been back in my clothes for about a month.. some women it may take much longer
Everyone is different. I was back in my clothes by 10 days, and I gained 45 pounds with my son.
it took 9 months to pack on the pouns it will take at least 9 months to be back to pre pregnancy. Dont worrie to much your baby doesnt care if you weight 300 lbs. Or 90lbs. Just eat healthy. Also start exercising regularly when your doctor gives you the okay. If you just eat healthy and exercise for 15-20 mins a day then you will safley lose weight and be healthy at the same time.
I was still wearing my maternity jeans 2+ months later, and I wasn’t the only one in my prenatal class who was. I’d lost most of the weight, but the cut/style of them just weren’t working just yet and the waistband was too tight still. I wouldn’t pack them away too far at the back of your closet though – you may find they fit within a few weeks or a few months.
That is determined by a few factors: 1. If your breast feeding your baby then you use many more calories each day. 2. If you diet it also depends on how active you are. 3. Its determined if you have a natural birth (quicker recovery) or C-section (much much longer recovery and staples in stomach to close where doctor cut) 4. If you diet and exercise after a natural child birth you would be able to get back to your pre pregnancy clothes in 6 ot 8 weeks.
You will probably lose most of your pregnancy weight within the first three months. Some will be lost from having the baby and the rest will come off from being a busy mum.. don’t get your old clothes out too soon though, especially not the tight jeans! Wear leggings with a loosely fitted top to be practicle and flattering and don’t be too hard on yourself as the weight will come off and think about what your bodys just created..
If you gained 30 pounds and you gain 3 or 4 more before delivery….break it down like this.
8 lbs ..baby
3 lbs…placenta
10….fluid/extra blood
5 lbs ….breast tissue
10-15 lbs…body fat
I’ve been pregnant 6 times and if I remember correctly I gain about the same amount as you. I am usually on the thin side but it takes me 4 months to fit into pants that are forgiving. It may take 8 months to fit into your skinniest jeans. Don’t starve yourself, especially because your milk supply will suffer when you diet. You will lose weight steadily the first 3 weeks then it will taper off. That initial weight loss is all the blood and fluid your body made during the pregnancy. It’s not fat.
Pretty soon you’ll be down to just the extra fat, and that will come off if you eat a healthy diet and not lots of junk food. It will come off at about a pound every other week or a pound every three weeks. This happens no matter what, even if you indulge in ice cream three times a week, as long as you’re breastfeeding. Until you wean your baby you will keep about 3 extra pounds, mostly in your boobs and upper arms.
