Didn't care though because I was comfy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-235656 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 12:05:14 +0000 yin 235656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew that I wouldn't fit into any of my pre-pregnancy clothes and just brought maternity clothes. I didn't care what I looked like leaving the hospital since I was just going straight home with my little family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-235645 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 12:01:03 +0000 pastemoo 235645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A dress. After my c-section I couldn't wear pants for 2 weeks, and I had been on IV fluids for 5 days, so I was super swollen everywhere and no pants fit up my legs anyway. Plus all my lady bits hurt from the delivery (29 hours of labor and 1.5 hours of pushing) and having pants there would have been no fun--and it must be worse with a full vaginal delivery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-235583 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 11:45:58 +0000 littlek 235583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was originally going to get a maxi dress from Michael Kors because they are super comfy and cute. However, DS had other plans and we had to last minute pack a bag and I didn't have a chance to get the maxi dress. I got it afterwards though. :). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-235557 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 11:38:37 +0000 lovehoneybee 235557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane:/@mrstilly:/@krsmall: Oh, please don't get me wrong, I'm not looking to be cute, was more curious what other moms found most comfortable! I've noticed there seems to be a split on the internet of yoga/lounge pants vs dresses. I can't imagine caring what I look like! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-235527 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 11:29:18 +0000 kokobee 235527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i wore one of my maternity dresses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-235522 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 11:25:28 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 235522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my black yoga pants, a tank top and a cardigan. It was so comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-235468 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 11:08:15 +0000 littlek 235468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore yoga pants and nursing tank top. I was originally planning on wearing something cute, but I was bleeding and tired, so looking cute wasn't a priority. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-235425 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 10:56:22 +0000 Running Elley 235425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m planning on black yoga pants, nursing tank and a loose cardigan! It’ll be October so I’m hoping it’ll be at least semi-cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-235357 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 10:38:40 +0000 MrsMccarthy 235357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah this is great. Yoga pants it is!!!! I have some good loose wide legged black ones </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-235282 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 10:11:20 +0000 mrstilly 235282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work black yoga pants home. I also had a tank top under a long sleeve maternity shirt on. Maternity pants fit weird after DS was born. Maternity shirts worked for a while until my belly got smaller (about 2 weeks). Then I was pretty much wearing normal clothing, but things that had a forgiving fit or were a larger size. </p> <p>I don't get the point of a special outfit to go home in. I just wanted to be comfortable and I wanted DS to be warm and comfortable. Also I wasn't into putting him in complicated outfits. He lived in sleep and plays and onesies/soft pants for the first 5 months. I think dresses would be awesome for the first weeks/months after birth because they tend to be forgiving as you lose weight and your shape returns back to normal (as much as it will anyway), but to go home, I would opt for comfort over style. Unless you are a dress person, yoga pants and a tank or tee seem sufficient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-235194 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 09:27:08 +0000 sorrycharlie 235194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooh this is SUCH a good thread idea. I honestly haven't even thought about this when considering my bag! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-235181 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 09:21:15 +0000 lovehoneybee 235181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the feedback! I think I'll go ahead and pack the yoga pants (no restricting waistband or anything) and a tee shirt (since it'll be August) and also throw a maternity dress in there, just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-235120 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 08:42:45 +0000 Rubies 235120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maternity yoga pants, a baggy t-shirt and flip flops. I felt like shiat so didn't care what I wore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-235114 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 08:40:43 +0000 LivsMama 235114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore a black maxi dress. I had a section and didnt want to wear pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-235062 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 08:19:10 +0000 hilsy85 235062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yoga pants and a t shirt/tank top! Comfort will be key, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-235059 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 08:18:13 +0000 LuLu Mom 235059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm wearing yoga pants home, I figured it will be a little chilly in October (hopefully we get relief from this heat) and they will be comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-234980 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 07:19:08 +0000 chopsuey 234980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A beat up t-shirt and juicy velour pants! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-234977 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 07:17:20 +0000 purrpletulips 234977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a black velour pants/jacket set from Motherhood maternity that I wore along with a nursing tank and tennis shoes. This time I'm thinking of wearing the same outfit but maybe flip flops instead of tennis shoes depending upon the weather. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-234964 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 06:47:22 +0000 matador84 234964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess no one has leg swelling like I have had! My legs have gotten so fat. :-( I can barely squeeze my maternity shorts around my fat legs, the idea of even trying to wear pants freaks me out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-234963 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 06:45:06 +0000 BeachMama 234963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore a black comfy dress. A friend suggested it since you're pretty much wearing a diaper. But you're also getting wheeled out in a chair so it's not like anyone is looking at your bum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-234958 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 06:37:33 +0000 heffalump 234958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore maternity yoga pants and ended up changing into DH's comfy basketball shorts because it was so hot out when I got home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-234957 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 06:36:57 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 234957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, and I would stay away from a dress. When I went home I was still bleeding a ton....I was wearing the hospital mesh panties and the ginormous hospital pads. Wouldn't have worked too well with a dress! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-234955 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 06:34:40 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 234955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After I gave birth I didn't want to be anywhere close to jeans. The idea of denim made me cringe....I was so sore and exhausted and just wanted to be comfortable. I wore some black sweats and my favorite comfy, baggy shirt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-234952 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 06:32:38 +0000 loveisstrange 234952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally rocked sweats. I was in no mood to get dressed up. We got released at 9pm after 5 days in the hospital and I think DH was lucky I even brushed my hair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-234946 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 05:56:23 +0000 rachiecakes 234946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep - mommy uniform: yoga pants, nursing tank, open cardigan (pretty sure I wore Uggs or something similar, it was December) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-234943 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 05:49:54 +0000 autumnlove 234943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yoga pants, loose cardigan, tank top and flip flops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-234923 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 02:09:01 +0000 winniebee 234923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maternity yoga pants, tank, open sweater. It was perfect for mid may. I actually wore my maternity jeans for about 3 wks post birth - they fit better than during the end of pregnancy even hough the belly part was big -- and I only gained 30 lb in pregnancy. Luckily it was warm an I just started wearing jersey dresses!</p> <p>Good luck - can't believe how close you are!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-234910 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 01:37:32 +0000 looch 234910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I left in a pair of maternity jeans and a maternity top. I didn't put much thought into it, it was December and really cold out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-going-home-outfit#post-234877 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 23:54:08 +0000 skibobrown 234877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The advice I received was to bring clothes that fit you when you were 6 months pregnant. I wore stretchy yoga pants and a nice loose cotton t-shirt home. </p>
