Nine Things to Think About 9 Months Later: Sorting Pre-Pregnancy Clothes

You May Decide to Get Rid of Some of Your Pre-pregnancy Clothes

There are some things to consider when you are going through your clothes that you were wearing nine months ago. It is very unlikely that you are going to be out of maternity wear right away, but you will be most likely looking forward to getting back into
 your non-maternity wear. Some of the clothes that you wore before you had your baby may no longer suit you for different reasons, if you plan on sorting your pre-pregnancy wear here are some things to think about.

1. Nine Months Later, Do You Need These Clothes?

People can be very attached to clothes, and rightfully so, they offer an outer expression to reflect on how an individual views themselves on the inside. A favorite shirt, that you absolutely feel good in, can lift your spirits on the worst of bad hair days, but you haven't been able to wear it in 9 month, do you still feel the same about it? Once you have gone without something you have a better perspective of what it is worth.

2. Nine Months Later, Do You Like These Clothes?

Styles change, you may or may not care about what is in season but people often have a personal preference that is subject to change from time to time when it comes to fashion. You may be able to fit into something just fine but after 9 months of being parted with it, do you feel that you still would want to wear it?

3. Nine Months Later, Will These Clothes Fit You?

Once you have a baby your body doesn't look the same right after birth. It can take 6 or more months for the uterus to go back down to its original size. You may be dying to get out of your maternity wear right after you have a baby but it is likely that you will have to keep it on for a couple of months longer. If you know that by the time you can fit back into your pre-pregnancy clothes that you are likely going to be buying new clothes anyway. Do you need to keep things that don't fit you right after your baby's birth?

4. Nine Months Later, Will These Clothes Reveal Anything That You Don't Want Revealed Any Longer?

Great article! I still have a lot of my pre pregnancy (that's pre first pregnancy, I've had two more since) that I just can not bear to give up. However, as the years (and pregnancies) go by, I doubt I'll ever see a size 2 again. Your tips are really useful!

I am basically back to my pre-pregnancy weight too Sarah but like you said "things aren't exactly the same." ;) Thanks for the comment.

Great article. My "baby" is now almost 17 months, and while I weigh about the same as I did pre-pregnancy, things aren't exactly the same. I wear some of my pre-pregnancy stuff, while a lot of it sits in boxes. Maybe I should go through it and give some of it away. Great tips!
