BTDT moms or expectant moms:

Did you or are you planning on buying a nightgown for the hospital?
Or did you just wear the hospital clothes?

Re: BTDT moms or expectant moms:

i wore the hospital gown with my DISGUSTING favorite zip up sweater over it. I would never have worn anything I brought - its' really all too messy.

Re: BTDT moms or expectant moms:

I wore the hospital gown for the first 2 days and then the last 2 I wore nightgowns I had brought. I was in for 4 days because of the c-section. Both my nightgowns were fine. No blood at all

I planned on wearing the hospital gown until after she is born. I did get a pair of nursing Pj's to bring with me. We'll see how that pans out. Definetly bringing a cardigan and robe too. I think that is really all I am going to be comfy in.

I am going to purchase something today (inexpensive) today at Walmart for my bag. I will take it with me and judge at the hospital if it is worth me wearing.

Re: BTDT moms or expectant moms:

Im bringing sweatpants and tshirts (Aside from pjs). so I can change when I want to and not be in my hospital nightgown... I was one to walk the floors alot so I felt more comfy being somewhat dressed.

Re: BTDT moms or expectant moms:

I wore the hospital gown the first day but then I switched to my own pjs. I'm much more comfy in pants/shirt pjs than a gown.

Re: BTDT moms or expectant moms:

I would also take pants and tops anyday over a nightgown.

Re: BTDT moms or expectant moms:

I wore hospital gowns. I didnt want to mess up any of my clothes... the pads they give you in the hospital dont have any stickys on them. Never know where they are gonna go

Re: BTDT moms or expectant moms:

I wore the hospital gown until they made me get up and take a shower after the c-sec. Then I put on nursing pjs which I found much easier than a nightgown for breastfeeding and more comfy for when visitors came!! No mess at all here...

Re: BTDT moms or expectant moms:

I only wore the hospital gown for the first 2 days. after that I wore my own stuff. but with a c/s I didn't bleed very much at all.

I was also told this prior to having Luke, everyone told me to bring my own pads. I gave birth at Winthrop and they had pads with sticky tape in them.

I thought the first day was the messiest. I had an episiotomy and they had these pads that you break the seal and they are chilled. OMG, I kept sending my DH to the nurses desk for more, I was hording them. I think I used about 50 of them! Before having a child, I didn't know, would you actually be comfy in pants or did you need more room. But it was fine.

Oh My chilled pads!! I will probably wear the hospital gown and bring my own pj's just in case.
