to shoehorn myself into my teeny pre-pregnancy jeans

[Newmummytobe79]

ok ... the slightly roomier pair, and wear a baggy jumper to cover the extra padding around my waist, then claim they fit?

Can you breathe, bend over at more than a 10 degree angle, and attempt to sit down?

If so, YANBU

[Newmummytobe79]

I can breathe, yup to the 10 degree angle ...

and I can type standing up!

[ViviPru]

YABU to have teeny jeans, pre-pregnancy or no.

[OldGreyWassailTest]

Why would you want to do that? Does it REALLY matter?

[NinkyNonker]

God they sound miserable, why do it?!

[Flisspaps]

Are they comfortable?

[Newmummytobe79]

They are very happy jeans. I am very happy I'm in them. Just.

I managed to fit in to my size 8 jeans up to 26 weeks pg but then got some maternity jeans, it's so much more comfortable and they look good as long as you wear a top that keeps the waist band covered. Don't put your self trough it, it's not worth it, I wish I'd got mine sooner.

[Pascha]

I did it, with the help of a belly band. And a very long loose tunic top. Feels great.

[Newmummytobe79]

Wow dozyrosie - up to 26 weeks! I was huge by then

Baby is here now, maternity jeans packed away and the old favourites are out, out, out! :)

[WorraLiberty]

Yes, do it if it makes you feel good!

It's also a good incentive to get back into shape

[DorianGray]

I have only just packed my maternity jeans away and my DS is 10 months. They were just so comfy...

[otchayaniye]

go for it.

i recently left hospital a day after my section in size 8 Baxter (which are small, not m&s size '8') jeans. ok, ok, i had a slight muffin top...

i lost weight that pregnancy

but before you hate me, i put more than 4 stone on with my first pregnancy and daughter only weighed 5lbs . i schlommocked about in lycra for a long time (and was in tropics, a horrible climate to be fat)

[WhoIsThatMaskedWoman]

Do make sure you are wearing a really long top though. When DS was about 6 months old I went out in my pre-pg jeans and my ill-chosen top rode up a bit and as I walked past a group of school girls they started singing (surreptitiously) Do You Know The Muffin Man .
