What did you actually wear in the hospital?

Question

I’m not quite ready yet to pack my hospital bag, but for you moms out there that have had babies already, what did you actually want to wear while in the hospital after giving birth? Like will I want to wear maternity leggings and tank tops or will leggings be uncomfortable? Are pajama style pants better? 
I’m guessing for tops I’ll do tanks and soft/nighttime nursing bras and either like a zip up or something to cover my arms. (Is this a good?)

Answer

I didn’t change until the day I was going home. I stayed in my hospital gown the whole time. I was afraid I’d bleed on my clothing and figured why not ruin their stuff not mine. Plus it was just easier. No need to be pulling pants up and down.

Answer

I wore yoga pants and a T-shirt

Answer

Thanks moms this is all really helpful!!!

Answer

I bought comfy nursing tops and bottoms because I wanted to feel comfy and those gowns are uncomfortable. I had a c section

Answer

Yoga pants all day long for the win

Answer

I wore either pj pants or pj shorts, nursing tank top or nursing bra under a tank top, and a robe. I suggest robe to cover up for anyone coming in your room to visit. The mesh undies and pads they give work great and I don’t suggest you bringing any at all. It’s a waste of money, they provide so much. Tank was great because easy to pull the strap off or down to breast feed. Shorts were more for me because I was so hot after birth. I know I didn’t change for the first day.

Answer

I had a c-section so I wore the hospital gown the whole time since I was getting my incision checked once an hour.

Answer

First of all, take clothes with you for a couple of days. You never know what’s going to happen. I thought I would be in the hospital for max two days and ended up being there a whole week. The days I got to be induced (unfortunately), I wore a long shirt with a vest and a sport legging. In labour I wore a long pyjama. After birth I wore a tank top which could easily go down when I wanted to breastfeed and also a sport legging. I wore boxer shorts so the huge sanitary pads would fit properly. I did not get stitches so maybe a looser pants would be more comfortable. Good luck!

Answer

I wore the hospital gown the first night. The next day I put ins sweats and a tank top.

Answer

I got cheap (but comfy) loose PJ pants.
