I did wear my uggs when I wasn't in bed though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-robe-to-the-hospital#post-565788 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 00:34:09 +0000 SlightFigureOfSpeech 565788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I brought a short robe and wore it walking the halls before labor and back and forth between NICU with panama pants. It was a bit short, but I wouldn't have wanted a full length. </p> <p>Take one, that way you won't be wishing you had... If you don't use it, then, no big. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-robe-to-the-hospital#post-565246 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 21:20:48 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 565246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first time I didn't and I wish I had because I had the most -awful- pajamas that I wore around the maternity ward. They were practically see through and I didn't know it until after I had them on! This time around, I've packed more opaque clothing, a shrug, and a robe. Just to be comfy. Plus my sweatshirt if I get chilled. All prepared :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-robe-to-the-hospital#post-565162 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 21:02:42 +0000 JerricaBenton 565162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: @Smurfette: Thanks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-robe-to-the-hospital#post-565155 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 21:01:15 +0000 wheres_c 565155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I brought SO's robe and im so glad i did!<br /> I had a c section and was there for 5 days and all 25 of his family visited </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-robe-to-the-hospital#post-565018 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 20:16:45 +0000 prettylizy 565018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I would have, but I forgot it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-robe-to-the-hospital#post-565017 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 20:16:14 +0000 keiki_mama 565017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I did! I walked around while in labor and it was nice to cover my butt so I wasn't flashing everyone. I had a c-section so I stayed at the hospital for a longer period of time. I used it to cover my butt whenever I walked around the floor and when I went to get juice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-robe-to-the-hospital#post-565012 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 20:14:24 +0000 littlebug 565012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Brought it, never unpacked it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-robe-to-the-hospital#post-564946 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 20:04:46 +0000 blackbird 564946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I picked up a maternity one from a clearance rack to take with me! Sometimes those hospital gowns are a little thin </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-robe-to-the-hospital#post-564938 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 20:03:01 +0000 lemondrop 564938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my big fluffy knee length one was the best thing ever! I had my husband pick it up the next day since I didn't think to bring it. I had to walk through the entire hospital to get to the NICU every 3 hours to feed, so it was warm and comforting, a total lifesaver. Definitely will be the first thing in my hospital bag next time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-robe-to-the-hospital#post-564922 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 20:00:21 +0000 Weagle 564922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did, but never used it. I stayed in the hospital gown until the day we left the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-robe-to-the-hospital#post-564879 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:52:42 +0000 mrskc 564879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I brought one and never used it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-robe-to-the-hospital#post-564870 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:49:50 +0000 Smurfette 564870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JerricaBenton: exciting!

I was burning up during abs after the birth and just wore one of DH's button-down shirts (short-sleeved, Hawaiian-print :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-robe-to-the-hospital#post-564849 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:45:01 +0000 shopaholic 564849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JerricaBenton: Excited for you!</p> <p>I bought a fluffy over-sized one that goes below the knee too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-robe-to-the-hospital#post-564840 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:43:02 +0000 ktdid23 564840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I brought a short robe and I was so happy i had it because I had an emergency c-section and was in the hospital for 5 days. It was nice to be able to wear that with my nursing tank in the hospital and not feel super exposed going back and forth between my room and the NICU. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-robe-to-the-hospital#post-564827 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:40:24 +0000 Dandelion 564827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a big oversized fluffy one I'll bring to my birth center. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-robe-to-the-hospital#post-564823 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:39:45 +0000 pl0508 564823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did and I used it !! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-robe-to-the-hospital#post-564820 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:38:59 +0000 LemonLong 564820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I brought a big fluffy one. I wore it when walking around the ward to get my contractions started and after baby was born when the nurses suggested we take a walk to get out of the room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-robe-to-the-hospital#post-564791 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:31:49 +0000 Sweet T 564791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did. I bought a cheap, knee-length one from Target. I wore it while I was walking around trying to get my contractions going. It was nice because it covered my backside. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-robe-to-the-hospital#post-564779 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:29:38 +0000 autumn865 564779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I brought one but felt icky (wasn't allowed to shower until over 24 hours after giving birth so I just stayed in two hospital gowns (one opened in the front one open in the back so I was covered) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-robe-to-the-hospital#post-564762 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:25:56 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 564762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I honestly never wear robes so I didn't bring one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-robe-to-the-hospital#post-564759 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:25:19 +0000 JerricaBenton 564759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going in tomorrow (eeek!) but I bought a clearance robe at Target in a size that fits my pregnant belly. I thought I'd like to have it because I might be more comfortable in it than just a gown. I also wanted to get one that was short but not too short. The one I found goes to my knees. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-robe-to-the-hospital#post-564758 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:25:12 +0000 MsLipGloss 564758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but my induction was a total surprise--I didn't have anything with me! DH had to rush home and throw some stuff n a bag for me. I was verbally directing him around the house through my contractions. </p> <p>ETA: I would have though. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-robe-to-the-hospital#post-564739 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:21:08 +0000 autumnlove 564739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have a short robe that looks silly with my pregnant belly. I'm not sure if I should take it...I'm sure I'll still look pregnant even after giving birth! </p>
