Your pre-pregnancy clothes don’t fit yet and the last thing you want to do is wear your maternity clothes. What can you do?

Re-visit your early pregnancy clothes: Those clothes that helped conceal your bump early in pregnancy are perfect for concealing your post-partum tummy. Wear shirts with a gathered hem and eye-catching neckline. Pull out your Bella Band and use that to layer over longer tops until your stomach shrinks and your jeans fit.

Under-the-belly jeans: Trust me, the last thing you will want to wear is anything with a panel. Pull out those under-the-belly jeans, pants and skirts. They will fit you better than your pre-pregnancy clothes, and you won’t feel like you are wearing maternity clothes.

Shapewear: What was once called a girdle, now has a more appealing name — shapewear. Everyone from Brooke Burke (who sells her own brand of Tauts shapewear) to Gwyneth Paltrow has admitted to wearing shapewear to help smooth out those post-partum bumps.

Outerwear: Find a jacket that will flatter your new-mom curves. Pictured is the Pinned Wrap Cardigan from Gap.com. This stylish jacket will conceal your postpartum belly while the eye-catching neckline draws your eye up.
