I am due any day now and I'm not expecting to be coming home in my pre pregnancy jeans and as I have a very large bump, I'm not expecting it to disappear into thin air.
I've lived in floaty maternity sundresses for the last few months.
So what did you wear to hide the postpartum belly while getting back to shape?
D like to get a few things to prepare.

Summer baby here so long maxi dresses while recovering from c section so nothing pressing on the scar, then jump suits, loose shorts / tops

I carried on wearing my maternity clothes in the first few weeks which had been dresses and floaty tops sometimes with leggings underneath. I wasn’t trying to hide a postpartum belly or get back into shape, I was just being, with a new baby. Leggings stuck around and the weather went colder, with loose tops above those.

I wore my maternity leggings and some yoga pants from Sainsbury’s. My maternity jeans were too big after about 3 days and I bought a cheap pair of jeans the next size up and they did the trick. However, my maternity leggings I could wear until my LG was 2 and I regret nothing 😂. I tended to wear more loose style/floaty tops as well.
