Pants for hospital?

Question

Okay I'm a FTM and wondering do you stay in the hospital gown the whole stay? Or change to some comfy pants at some point? Basically just wondering if I should go buy some cheap dark colored pj pants from Walmart or if they'll be checking down there regularly after the first day and it's better to just stay in the gown. Also, do I need to bring pads to the hospital or just get them for when I get home?

Answer

I wore on pants under the gown so that I felt better walking around.

Answer

As soon as I took a shower, that gown was OFF! I needed to feel like a normal human being after labor, and s hospital gown wouldn't cut it. I wore comfy pants and it wasn't inconvenient for them to check me, it's super quick.

Answer

I took the gown off the next day, I had my daughter at 7:45 pm and was tired so until the next day I changed into pj shorts and a pj button up shirt they were so comfortable and I was happy to finally be able to take off the robe I hated that thing

Answer

Oh and also, I personally didn't like the mesh underwear only because they felt like they were falling off. And I felt like I was just going to bleed everywhere. I brought a few pairs of junky underwear that I didn't care if that got ruined and that made everything stay in place better and honestly I never even got any blood on them. But like I said I used what the hospital provided for the first 24 hours and then after I showered switched to my stuff.

Answer

I changed right after they took me out to my room.. And it will be easier and better for you if you wore cute gowns with the robe, they will be checking down there if you're bleeding alot and will clean you up

Answer

When I was in labor they had me change into the gown and they were checking between my legs so often it seemed moot point to put pants on lol but after I delivered I definitely put my own clothing on (something I could throw away if I had to) and it was much more comfortable for the hospital stay.

Answer

I put pants on cuz I don't like the hospital gowns. I was in for 3 days cuz of c section. I just had comfy black stretchy pants and nursing tanks w one nursing cover up type shirt

Answer

So...what happened for me was the first 24 hours after giving birth that pressed on my belly and checked down there to see the color and amount of blood...so I stayed in the gown for the first 24 hours...I had her at 3 pm so most of the 24 hours was night and I got a shower a little later the next day and then I just wore leggings and a sweat shirt. Then they checked me like 2 times after that before I left but that was it. But I would suggest staying in the gown for the first day after having your baby. Just easier to be checked for me personally. And you can call your labor and delivery unit where you'll be delivering and they will tell you what all they provide..I didn't have to bring any pads...they provided those for me along with numbing spray, but I did get the night time always pads and put witch hazel on them and popped them in the freezer before I went to the hospital. SUPER nice if you don't want to go buy tucks pads or whatever they are..and works all the same. Plus the witch hazel doesn't burn and it helps heal if you tear or have to have an episiotomy!

Answer

I stayed in the gown and mesh panties the whole time. I was constantly leaking stuff and would have needed multiple pairs of pants. I used the hospitals pads because I was constantly changing them and wanted to save mine til I got home.

Answer

After the first day you can definitely wear comfy pajamas!! The hospital provides pads but they aren't the most comfy so you can always a bring your own that you prefer :)
