They were my mom's... This time, I'm hoping I can wear my own Crocs. I'm not as swollen this time around. I guess being 20 lbs less than last time helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-did-you-wear-to-the-hospital/page/2#post-140863 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 20:05:05 +0000 HLK208 140863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't bleed on my shoe's but I mostly wore the hospital socks during my stay...<br /> But, this time I packed these:</p> <p><a href="http://m.nordstrom.com/s/3289034/" rel="nofollow">http://m.nordstrom.com/s/3289034/</a></p> <p>It feels like I'm walking on pillows when I wear them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-did-you-wear-to-the-hospital/page/2#post-140855 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 19:36:05 +0000 Bluebonnet 140855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Flip flops! It's a good thing because my feet were so swollen after birth (think Fred Flinstone feet). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-did-you-wear-to-the-hospital/page/2#post-140635 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 15:49:17 +0000 runsyellowlites 140635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Nskillet: Not yet.... 1. Breastfeeding on demand takes alot more time than I remember. lol &amp; 2. I'm working with my MW to get all the details right b/c Jennifer Kamel with vbacfacts.com &amp; the people with progressive parenting are interested in it! =D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-did-you-wear-to-the-hospital/page/2#post-140378 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 13:01:37 +0000 SAHM0811 140378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: don't stress. Wear what's comfortable to you. When you get to the hospital, they have you change into a gown and hospital socks. Those are meant to get dirty, not your clothes/shoes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-did-you-wear-to-the-hospital#post-140373 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 12:51:32 +0000 Nskillet 140373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: did you post your birth story?

It was December but in sunny CA! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-did-you-wear-to-the-hospital#post-140333 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 12:17:49 +0000 Andrea 140333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha can't believe a I missed this thread. I wore flip flops and they survived. No mess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-did-you-wear-to-the-hospital#post-140324 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 12:08:08 +0000 regberadaisy 140324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm hoping it will be warm enough here for flip flops! Most of my shoes are too tight now. :(</p> <p>@MamaMoose: You can always switch into the flip flops at the hospital! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-did-you-wear-to-the-hospital#post-140313 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 11:58:16 +0000 purrpletulips 140313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore the only shoes I could fit in at the time, loosely tied tennis shoes. I didn't wear shoes during hospital stay until ready to go home; just socks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-did-you-wear-to-the-hospital#post-139808 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 08:38:14 +0000 MamaMoose 139808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so stressed about footwear now!!! I want to wear flip flops based on the use of the words "bloody mess"... but that might be uncomfortable in late November!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-did-you-wear-to-the-hospital#post-139798 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 08:35:05 +0000 MegWag 139798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore ballet flats. Easy to slip on and off. I didn't have any issues with lots of bleeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-did-you-wear-to-the-hospital#post-139789 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 08:30:39 +0000 LuLu Mom 139789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank goodness I read this, cheap throw away flipflops for me! hopefully it's not cold in the beginning of October :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-did-you-wear-to-the-hospital#post-139764 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 08:06:18 +0000 pelikila 139764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore my chacos since they were the only thing that still fit my swollen, fat feet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-did-you-wear-to-the-hospital#post-139704 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 02:33:56 +0000 Boogs 139704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: I feel your pain. I had an IV for 5 straight days. People kept staring at my feet and legs and just saying, "WOW!" </p> <p>I wore some flats after I flooded my sneakers when my water broke. When I came on I had to wear a pair of Adidas sandals that were super loosen so I could get my Shrek feet in them. I also covered those bad boys with socks because I was sick of all the stares. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-did-you-wear-to-the-hospital#post-139689 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 01:40:21 +0000 looch 139689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore sneakers to the hospital, I wanted to have something stable just in case. While I was laboring I was barefoot, for the rest of my stay, flip flops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-did-you-wear-to-the-hospital#post-139659 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 23:54:10 +0000 Rosie Girl 139659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore my clogs. We were in a hurry, and i couldn't bend over to put on tennis shoes. Plus it was snowing. I'm pretty sure my water broke all over them though considering it soaked pretty much everything in the room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-did-you-wear-to-the-hospital#post-139658 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 23:42:34 +0000 cupcakemama 139658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just wore ballet flats.<br /> @chopsuey119: I was a bloody mess too! The next morning when I got up was traumatising! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-did-you-wear-to-the-hospital#post-139582 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 21:32:34 +0000 SAHM0811 139582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my winter baby, I had on uggs, with my summer baby, flip flops.</p> <p>I didn't bleed all over my shoes though because I didn't put them back on after giving birth ;) I had on hospital socks!</p> <p>I bled a lot too soon after both births. This is why I was so thankful to the nurse and nurse assistant who helped me those first few hours after my births. They were like angels helping me go to the bathroom, get cleaned up, and get back to bed, etc.... </p> <p>I feel like a lot of moms don't talk about this stuff afterwards! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-did-you-wear-to-the-hospital#post-139555 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 21:13:15 +0000 runsyellowlites 139555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well considering my transfer to the hospital wasn't planned and by the time it came up I was ready to walk out the house naked (thankfully my mom didn't let me), I didn't wear any shoes. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-did-you-wear-to-the-hospital#post-139550 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 21:10:20 +0000 yin 139550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: I didn't expect it either, and the swollen feet made recovery a tad more difficult. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-did-you-wear-to-the-hospital#post-139536 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 20:59:06 +0000 mrs. wagon 139536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I was a bloody mess too but I expected it, so I had THREE of the big peach pads on under the mesh underwear. I religiously changed them. I never even got blood on the underwear! I think I changed my pads about once every 30 mins in the beginning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-did-you-wear-to-the-hospital#post-139534 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 20:49:43 +0000 betsyboop 139534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: a few weeks???

It took a few weeks for my feet to return to normal. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-did-you-wear-to-the-hospital#post-139378 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 19:41:30 +0000 Running Elley 139378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Hahaha I'm laughing now but I think it's just so that I don't cry out of terror.

Seriously, birthing babies is pretty gruesome and scary.
