You are going to bleed a lot, so don't bring anything nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothesgown-for-hospital#post-1044425 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 14:19:35 +0000 LuLu Mom 1044425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore a gown for labor, and the day after the labor. (I labored until 11:15 pm, and had the epi in until noon the next day) Then I showered and put on drawstring pants, nursing top, and robe to wear around (LO had to go to NICU so I wanted to be covered up and down the elevator but still comfy.)</p> <p>Edit: I wouldn't buy a pricey gown just because it's cute, it will be ruined and you will throw it away. Stick with the ugly provided one IMO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothesgown-for-hospital#post-1044409 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 14:11:38 +0000 lamariniere 1044409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hospital gown! You don't want to worry about staining/ruining something cute or that you care about. I wore the hospital gown until it was time to change to go home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothesgown-for-hospital#post-1044326 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 13:48:26 +0000 Crisark 1044326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore the hospital gown while in labor/delivery.<br /> Once I got into my recovery room I immediately took a shower and put on a cami and comfy shorts.<br /> I didn't wear another hospital gown the rest of my trip. but, I also didn't bleed real bad either. Don't know if it was because it was my third time around or what. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothesgown-for-hospital#post-1043390 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 08:03:56 +0000 blackbird 1043390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hospital gown plus a loose comfy sports bra. The hospital gown gets grody and they will bring you a fresh one all the time. I wore it until I got discharged, then I changed into yoga pants and a maternity shirt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothesgown-for-hospital#post-1043350 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 07:49:08 +0000 lawbee11 1043350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're going to bleed all over whatever you wear. I wore the hospital gown and am so glad I did--it was nice to just be able to throw on a new one and not have to deal with bringing bloody clothes home. I took a shower and changed into a a nursing tank and yoga pants the day after I delivered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothesgown-for-hospital#post-1043349 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 07:48:13 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1043349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was naked for L&amp;D and wore the hospital gown during recover. I changed into my yoga pants two days pp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothesgown-for-hospital#post-1043328 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 07:40:05 +0000 Adira 1043328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore the hospital gown during labor and delivery, and then later that day before guests arrived, I changed into yoga pants, nursing tank, and a sweater. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothesgown-for-hospital#post-1043327 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 07:39:25 +0000 looch 1043327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore the hospital gown, I did't want to deal with more laundry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothesgown-for-hospital#post-1043317 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 07:35:13 +0000 heffalump 1043317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore the hospital gown the whole time too. I brought pj's.... but was in too much pain and too lazy to change into them. I'll probably bring some again next time just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothesgown-for-hospital#post-1043229 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 06:31:39 +0000 Dandelion 1043229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore the hospital gown, too...that's a mess I don't want to have to launder out of my own clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothesgown-for-hospital#post-1043224 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 06:22:36 +0000 tinyperson 1043224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore the hospital gown for my c section and for a day or so after. I bought a couple pairs of two piece button down jersey pjs from sears to wear after. They were comfy and cute and didn't get wrecked. I still wear them ow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothesgown-for-hospital#post-1043188 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 02:47:28 +0000 chanzi 1043188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore a hospital gown for labor and early recovery. Then I changed into a short jersey robe. My hospital also provided a nursing gown, but it wasn't as good for skin-to-skin as my robe was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothesgown-for-hospital#post-1043165 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 00:53:35 +0000 shopaholic 1043165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My girlfriend had her baby a couple of weeks ago and had one of those cute, monogrammed hospital gowns. You can see it on my IG. I think it was really cute and nice for being in pictures with friends. Personally, I was more comfy in my own mens'-style pajamas after labor. I felt more covered up and easy access to BF. I just wore the standard hospital gown for delivery. Can't imagine I'd want to wear the same one during &amp; after labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothesgown-for-hospital#post-1043164 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 00:52:36 +0000 lemondrop 1043164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stick with the hospital gown for delivery and the first day, it was a bloody nightmare down there in the beginning. Later I moved to dark yoga pants and a big fluffy robe and was ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothesgown-for-hospital#post-1043161 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 00:42:51 +0000 Purpledaisy 1043161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just wore a hospital gown. I thought I would care but when the time came I didn't care what I was wearing and the hospital gowns were easy and I didn't care if they got dirty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothesgown-for-hospital#post-1042836 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 19:55:44 +0000 Bookish 1042836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore the hospital gown for a day or two, and when the bleeding slowed down I switched to a black nursing top and black yoga pants. I did not want to get anything pricey/nicer, because I knew I'd get it pretty nasty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothesgown-for-hospital#post-1042811 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 19:47:56 +0000 rachiecakes 1042811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore a comfy nursing bra and hospital gown while in labor &amp; brought VS pajamas (button down thermals) &amp; a robe to wear after. I wanted to feel pretty afterwards. I bought them three weeks before my due date so I'd have new pjs and a new robe. I bought dark colors, they didn't get ruined. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothesgown-for-hospital#post-1042808 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 19:46:39 +0000 NavyRN2012 1042808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore a gown until the day following birth. The nurses frequently wanted to check my peri-pad for bleeding (they were concerned since I passed out 3 times). It just made things easier, plus it wasn't my laundry I was getting dirty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothesgown-for-hospital#post-1042799 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 19:43:49 +0000 doodlepoodle 1042799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stine_ciro: while I agree those are ADORABLE...they just aren't practical. I don't know anyone IRL who had anything cute. I bought all black tshirt material shorts to wear bc I knew I'd bleed thru, and I did, I'm glad I had comfy clothes! Buy bigger than you think you'll need ;) you'll thank yourself haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothesgown-for-hospital#post-1042798 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 19:43:26 +0000 Foodnerd81 1042798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not want any of my own clothes on while I was there. Too messy, bleeding after, and there was always someone coming in to look at my lady parts anyway. So I would not buy anything special to wear there. </p> <p>I wore yoga pants and a nursing tank home (and almost every day since then ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothesgown-for-hospital#post-1042788 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 19:40:29 +0000 fancyfunction 1042788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore the hospital gown while in labor then put my own robe on over it later. I know I wore yoga pants to go home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothesgown-for-hospital#post-1042785 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 19:38:46 +0000 Boheme 1042785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore a birthing skirt and a sports bra during labor - the nurses ended up cutting them off and throwing them away! Everything gets too nasty to get something expensive. </p> <p>The Pretty Pushers gowns are cute and inexpensive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothesgown-for-hospital#post-1042783 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 19:38:31 +0000 matador84 1042783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore a gown while in labor. I couldn't get out of bed until about six hrs pp, and I then changed into a black nightgown. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothesgown-for-hospital#post-1042759 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 19:26:18 +0000 MrsF 1042759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore the hospital gown for labor and the next few days ( I had some minor complications). I was happy have the gown - labor and postpartum are messy and I could just switch to a fresh one. After I was feeling better I wore scrub pants and DH's t-shirts - no shame. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothesgown-for-hospital#post-1042753 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 19:21:02 +0000 chopsuey 1042753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore a hospital gown during labor both times. I stayed in the hospital gown for most of the first day with my first, then changed into a cami and comfy velour pants the next day. The second time I changed into my clothes as soon as I got to my room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothesgown-for-hospital#post-1042751 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 19:18:36 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1042751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore a hospital gown for most of my stay, then put on maternity yoga pants &amp; a nursing top.</p> <p>I bled through my pants &amp; went right back into the hospital gown. Less laundry for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothesgown-for-hospital#post-1042738 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 19:09:03 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1042738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What did you wear during/after labor? Has anyone bought a custom gown for the hospital?</p> <p>I saw these really cute ones on etsy, but it seems like a lot of money for something to wear for a day or two in the hospital.</p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/158740676/ready-to-shipsale-pricedtrendy-maternity?ref=shop_home_active" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/listing/158740676/ready-to-shipsale-pricedtrendy-maternity?ref=shop_home_active</a> </p>
