Sheena, after 2 c-sections in just over a year, a spare tyre is pretty standard... and its the devils mission to get rid of too!

I was a 14 when i got preg 1st time around, and suddenly put on a lot of weight in the last 10 weeks and ended up a size 18-20. By his 1st birthday I'd put any weight lost during birth back on again.

2nd time around I was in the process of losing weight when I got preg, but was still at least a size 16, and am back to an 18-20 (was drinking complan and eating all sorts to try and make BF work, but she wouldnt feed, so all that extra stuff went into the trunk ) But now that jae is having longer awake periods, and I have a 3 wheel pram, i plan on going out for runs (well... walks to be a bit more realistic lol!) while B is at school

I had a friend who complained about being chubby all her life (she was maybe a 14/16 pre-preg) but I saw her for the first time since she'd had bub (I think he was about a year old?) and she looked anorexic! She swore it was just from BFing but I dont think I have ever seen anyone lose that much weight just BF alone...?]]> Sat, 16 Jan 2010 12:27:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30963&PID=898576&title=clothing-size-post-pregnancy#898576 <![CDATA[Clothing size post pregnancy : Not sure what the case will be...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30963&PID=898501&title=clothing-size-post-pregnancy#898501 Author: Richie

Not sure what the case will be for me although I'd say I'll be able to fit my pre preg clothes as soon as bubs comes out as I have only grown in the belly area. I can still fit my pants, they just don't do up cause of the bump.
My sister was a size 12 before getting preg with her DS, she gained 22kg with him and is now barely a size 6! Breastfeeding sucked the life out of her! Only took her about 5 months to get down to that size. She hasn't gained the weight back ever since! lucky cow ]]> Sat, 16 Jan 2010 10:55:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30963&PID=898501&title=clothing-size-post-pregnancy#898501 <![CDATA[Clothing size post pregnancy : lol, mine is self inflicted from...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30963&PID=898384&title=clothing-size-post-pregnancy#898384 Author: Shezamumof3

I always start losing the weight after pregnancy, I'm now 5kg lighter than when I got pregnant & will probably lose more over the next year cause I'm still BFing so much (yep I'm one of those Biarches ) BUT once I stop BF I always get back up to that pre preg weight.
I think now I'm a size 10-12?? Only problem is with tops, size 14 shoulders & big boobs makes everything else look like crap.

Honestly depends on the manufacturer of clothes cause some smalls fit me & some larges do too ]]> Fri, 15 Jan 2010 08:56:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30963&PID=897318&title=clothing-size-post-pregnancy#897318 <![CDATA[Clothing size post pregnancy : I was an 8-10 pre-pregnancy and...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30963&PID=897303&title=clothing-size-post-pregnancy#897303 Author: minik8e

I was an 8-10 pre-pregnancy and now I'm a 16...though slowly going down. It's mostly on my tummy - I can get into size 12-14 clothes easy but my tummy is still a size 16 so I just can't do them up. In saying that, I put on 35kg and have only lost 18kg so far.]]> Fri, 15 Jan 2010 08:40:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30963&PID=897303&title=clothing-size-post-pregnancy#897303 <![CDATA[Clothing size post pregnancy : After having my first I was a...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30963&PID=896999&title=clothing-size-post-pregnancy#896999 Author: escadachic

After having my first I was a size 12. Slowly moved to a size 10. I was a size 8 pre-pregnancy that time.

This time I was a size 12 pre-pregnancy, so after, I might be a 14. If I'm lucky I'll be a 12.]]> Thu, 14 Jan 2010 19:26:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30963&PID=896999&title=clothing-size-post-pregnancy#896999 <![CDATA[Clothing size post pregnancy : Yeah definitely wait.

I'm in my pre-pregnancy clothes and had gained 5kg by the end. Will be interesting to know how much I've lost now once I track down some scales.I've thinned down a lot but haven't lost much around my lower belly which is the bit that counts when buying clothes

Don't know tbh Tastic (being first baby - but didn't want to read and run), but I would think that you are going to be a bit smaller than you started, even with extra volume in the tummy area. I would possibly just use old clothes, but ones with drawstrings / adjustable waists in the meantime - and get some things that fit you properly afterwards.]]> Thu, 14 Jan 2010 13:03:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30963&PID=896582&title=clothing-size-post-pregnancy#896582 <![CDATA[Clothing size post pregnancy : just wondering what size do you...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30963&PID=896564&title=clothing-size-post-pregnancy#896564 Author: Tastic

just wondering what size do you normally become after having your baby. With both the boys I was basically in same size if not 1 size bigger then pre pregnancy, but this time Im not sure as Ive lost 10kg so far (thats not taking into account the size of bubs, placenta or water etc)
should I just wait and see or buy a couple of smaller size clothes?]]> Thu, 14 Jan 2010 12:46:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30963&PID=896564&title=clothing-size-post-pregnancy#896564
