It was easier for breastfeeding and having them check my stuff. I ended up losing a lot of blood and not starting a blood transfusion until the evening of the 2nd night, so I couldn't get out of bed to change without passing out anyway. I don't think I would have ruined any pjs though. I bled quite a bit, but I could have worn normal pads and been fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-pjs-or-normal-clothes-in-the-hospital#post-371475 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 08:47:45 +0000 twinmama 371475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was kind of a train wreck after birth so I stayed in the hospital gown, even though I had brought jammies and yoga-y clothes. I was bleeding and sweating (hot flashes), so I had them bring me a new gown twice a day and had a cozy fleece robe for when I needed a layer or walked around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-pjs-or-normal-clothes-in-the-hospital#post-371469 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 08:44:11 +0000 mrsjyw 371469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I packed PJs, need to pick up a nightie this wk~ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-pjs-or-normal-clothes-in-the-hospital#post-371467 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 08:43:23 +0000 mediagirl 371467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore the hospital gown the first day. By the second day, I wanted my clothes. I put on soft and loose yoga pants and a nursing tank. It felt great to have my own clothes on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-pjs-or-normal-clothes-in-the-hospital#post-371457 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 08:39:31 +0000 travelgirl1 371457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I didn't know if the gown would make it harder to check on the incision, if it opens backwards? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-pjs-or-normal-clothes-in-the-hospital#post-371437 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 08:30:03 +0000 Mrs. Bee 371437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore the hospital gown. I was bleeding so much that I didn't want to wear clothes. Also when you have a c-section, nurses/doctors/interns come in around the clock to check on your incision. At least that was the case in my hospital. It was easier just have a gown on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-pjs-or-normal-clothes-in-the-hospital#post-371413 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 08:21:25 +0000 Andrea 371413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore a nursing gown and robe over that. I felt 1000x better after I put on my own clothes. Lots of people say not to bring your own clothes because they will be ruined but I didn't get anything yucky on my clothes at all. I might wear the same thing when I give birth to #2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-pjs-or-normal-clothes-in-the-hospital#post-371410 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 08:19:59 +0000 heffalump 371410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore the hospital gown. I brought pj's, but not only did I not want to bloody them up but the gown made it easy for the nurses to check me. I had a bad tear so it hurt to move, and the gown was easier to just pull up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-pjs-or-normal-clothes-in-the-hospital#post-371402 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 08:14:04 +0000 travelgirl1 371402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If my planned c section goes ahead next week, I'll probably be in the hospital for two days afterwards. Everyone keeps telling me to take pjs or a nightie (not happening, my legs are way too swollen for that!!!!) but I think I want to wear normal clothes as looking a bit more put together might help me feel better. </p> <p>Did you wear nightclothes or normal clothes? If regular clothes, what did you wear? </p>
