I am getting my bag packed for the hospital and I cant decide on a pj shorts or pants with a button down top for nursing or a nightgown that button downs a little. What did you prefer? I hate how overly big the hospital gowns are on me so after the first day I want to change into my own clothes.
bring both. this way you can change when one doesn't work for you.
I wore the hospital gown like NY as to not get blood on my clothes. But if you want to wear your own do a night gown that buttons down the front it would be easier than pants(in my opinion)
I had pajama pants and wore a button down shirt.
I also stayed in a hospital gown because I didn't want to bleed all over my own clothes. I packed a night gown but I didn't wear it and it would have been very impractical for nursing anyway.
In the hospital they press on your stomach a lot so shorts would also be impractical.
you will probably want to stay in there gowns because the night after there is alot of blood you have to change your padding alot so its easier th have a either the hospital gown or something like it if you prefer you own stuff but it will probably get ruined
Don't take bottoms. Take the gown that buttons down far enough to nurse. You will bleed and ruin your shorts. Take OLD panties with you. I never wore their gowns except for the OR.
Good luck and best wishes.
I breastfeed too and I live in tank tops, even in the winter. I packed long jammie pants and my 2 maternity tanks. For the most part, I stayed in bed due to a classical c-section, but when I got up and walking around I got dressed. Make sure to pack the oldest, ugliest undies you have and also some pads, lol.
Night gown! You are not going to want anything tight or restrictive in that area for a bit. It might not be too bad if you have a natural birth with no tearing but if that doesn't happen you want a gown! I wound up with a completely unplanned c-section and it took almost 12 weeks before I could wear pants comfortably unless I wore them like a punk with my underwear hanging out or like Urkel, jacked up to my arm pits LOL. Also you will likely wind up with a catheter stuck up there natural or c-section birth and that left me really sore for a few days as well in that area.
Also make sure you are bringing Grandma underwear with you for the same reason (you know the kind, looks like you could construct a tent out of them, even the smallest sized ones). You still need something to hold the pad but you don't want something that is going to ride up your butt crack if you have tears or where the elastic hits the surgery opening. I still have pairs of underwear I can't wear 4 months later because the elastic band hits right where the scar is.
I wore my own clothes too in the hospital for comfort. I just made sure they were stuff I didn't care about getting stained. About the only benefit to having the c-section was that while they were in me, they pretty much vacuumed me out so my post partum bleeding was minimal.
Good luck and hope all goes as planned!
I am another one that just wore the hospital gowns.
I took a set of cute PJ's and when I saw how much muck there was I decided to stay in there stuff. Then I could ruin that and change frequently.
Go for a two-piece set, that why you an retain a little modesty when you're being prodded and poked. When I was in the hospital, I had to wear the gown, but I also wore pj pants underneath for comfort and modesty.
Nightgown and a robe. Oh and don't forget comfy slippers
I wore the hospital gown for the first day.. (I gave birth at about 1:30 in the afternoon..) and the next day I took a shower and changed into some very loose pants and my own underwear and a regular shirt..
I can't stress enough how much you will NOT want to put pressure down there.. and shorts are usually tighter than a loose pair of pj pants or a nightgown... definitely think LOOSE and that'll be the most comfy.
you do get a lot of follow up visits to be checked down there on the first and second day, so take that into consideration. it hurts to do anything.. and the act of taking off shorts will hurt, I guarantee it.
I say, get the nightgown.. :)
good luck and congrats!!
I wore the gown they gave me in the hospital.
Iwould pack a night gown that isnt tight around your lower abdomen. Because even after you have your baby your gonna still feel pain in that area and its gonna be very sensative. Because your uterus still contracts after you have the baby and eveything because it contracts itself down to its normal size. Also when nurses come in to check you your gonna wanna be a in a gown cause its painful and messy. So bring a few night gowns to the hospital so you have clean gowns.
Actually, neither. I stayed in the hospital gown because of the bleeding. I didn't want to leak on my own stuff. It was easy to nurse in it as well.
I prefered the hospital nightgown so that I wouldn't bleed on my own clothes. Also the nightgown was soo helpful because I didn't have to pull any pants down. Pulling my underwear down was painful enough. Each person has a different pain level, but I was in pain since the dr had to cut me a little down there and I had some hemmroids.
a nightgown with buttons down the front. It was more comfortable and easier for dr. follow-ups
There's a lot of bleeding after a baby is born. Especially during the first 24 hours. The hospital will have you wear these extra big pads for protection but even with those I could remember getting out of bed and there was a small puddle on the floor. Wearing 2 pads prevented leaks but you still have to change them often. If you manage to sleep for a long while then you'll probably leak even with 2 pads. There is a pretty good possibility that you'll stain your own pajamas if you bring your own. That's the reason why most moms use the hospital gowns.
For myself, I wouldn't have minded my own 2 piece pajamas after the first 24 hours but not before then.
Night Gown Of Course
After I had my IV taken out I put on a pad, wore pajama pants and a regular shirt with a nursing bra. Just remember that most hospitals will provide pads, but they are very uncomfortable. So I recommend bringing your own brand and make sure to take breast pads. I didn't know that my first time giving birth and I leaked the whole time in the hospital.
During delivery I wore the hospital gown with a comfy robe (that ended up getting blood all of over it when they put baby on my chest). Then as they helped me get cleaned up a bit post-delivery I put on a clean gown and these awful mesh undie thingy with a huge granny pad. I was in the mother-baby room. Then some family came in to say hi, check in on me, and of course see baby. I had on the gown with my hubbies robe that he put in his bag. Then after everyone left I put on a t-shirt and a pair PJ pants (after a much needed shower) which did get ruined but I didn't care because it was comfy and I felt a bit better. Also bring with some older undies because you will end up throwing them away. The hospital gowns are always huge on me too. Good luck!
i wore pants and shirt just a few hours after giving birth with all of mine, it was much more comfy.
mine didn't button down though i just lifted it up and if someone came in i threw a blanket over me.
so i just suggest whatever is comfy to you
I opted for the nightgown but I ended up just using the hospital gown because it was more convenient.
I used the gowns. I didn't want to get my clothes all messy. But my bleeding was moderate the next day so i put my own pj's on then.
