After birth, how many equivalent weeks pregnant did you look/feel?

[MuddyWellyNelly]

Bit of a "how long is a piece of string" question. But in the immediate aftermath of giving birth, how many weeks pregnant would you say you looked? And by immediately after I probably mean by the time you were getting dressed. Rather than in pyjamas. I promise this isn't a vanity question, but a practical clothing one! Also just curious though, as I can't work out how much will disappear along with baby Waters placenta etc.

It's so individual. By about five days I was back in ore pregnancy jeans each time. Some people look like they're still pregnant weeks later. I wouldn't waste money buying anything till you see how it goes for you.

About 8 months pregnant. But saggy. Urgh. I left the hospital in black maternity leggings and a huge baggy jumper to try and disguise the ice packs in my knickers (nice!)

That said, I put on 2st exactly and had lost it all by the time DS was 7 weeks old. Was fully back to fitness and racing competitively again by the time he was 5 months.

I think I'll be wearing control pants when baby is a few weeks old. Can't wait to have a waistline, even if I'm faking it!

yes, is very individual, I looked exactly the same after first birth, but bump was squidgy not hard, took ages to go down/away, months, yet second pg it buggered off very quickly, odd.

I lost the baby weight was soon as they were born, but I looked about 5 months pregnant staright after, just very squishy...

First time I looked about five months pregnant (from that pregnancy).

Second time I looked five months pregnant (from that pregnancy). I was much bigger first time around so how I looked afterwards was relative to how big I got.

I was 6 months before back at pre pregnancy size first time (gained two dress sizes).
I was back in my pre preg jeans after 1 week second time and lost the baby weight within 9 weeks.

Ps I would just buy some primark joggers a size or two up and some leggings and that should do you for the immediate.

None really, just had a bit of a tummy but I was mainly still just swollen due to preeclampsia. I was in my pre pregnancy skinny jeans when I left hospital a few days later but that was down to the NICU/SCBU diet probably.
