The 4th Trimester

By Diane Jones Randall
The 4th Trimester -- it's that stretch of time after your baby arrives, and before you can squeeze back into the pre-pregnancy wardrobe. We asked maternity wear guru Liz Lange for her thoughts on what to wear when the old clothes just don't fit.
"Don't put pressure on yourself," she says. "Wear whatever works and whatever feels comfy. In the first few weeks, 99% of women go back to maternity wear. And when you see A-list celebs going back to skinny jeans, remember, that's not normal!"
So think about the 4th trimester when you're picking out your 2nd and 3rd trimester garments. And take a look at the current crop of fall maternity wear -- items that will adapt to your body in the weeks following baby's birth -- plus, get a few 4th trimester tips from Liz.
(Suit available at Liz Lange.)
