Did you wear a loose dress? Sweats and tank top? Something else?
I'm trying to pack my hospital bag 
You might also enjoy...
-
Yoga pants, flip flops, big tshirt and zip hoodie
-
Yoga pants, a nursing tank and a cardi. I think I should have worn a loose maxi with a cardi though.
ETA: honestly I didn't care at all what I looked like. It was just DH and I bringing E home and we were discharged at like 9pm so it's not like we had a welcoming party waiting for us.
-
I wore my PJs and a grey Gap Body robe. Ain't no shame in my game. I was on an IV for 2.5 days and my body was Killing Me bc it was so plump and juicy from fluids!!!!
-
Yoga pants, nursing tank, wrap cardigan, comfy slippers. My looks were not a priority.
-
I brought pjs and a maternity dress and chose the dress.
-
Mesh panties, Old Navy flip flops, yoga pants and a maternity tank.
-
My comfy maternity pj pants, a tank and a cardigan/sweater.
-
First time, my SO's basketball shorts, a tshirt, and flip flops (I packed only gowns because I was told over and over I wouldn't want shorts and I wore only my SO's shorts. I hated the nightgowns).
Second time, yoga pants, long sleeve tshirt, chucks.
-
I'm not worried about my looks, I'm asking more for comfort. I'm wondering if yoga pants would be too tight on my belly. That's why I was considering a loose dress. On the other hand, if I wore yoga pants (or sweats) and a tank top, I could wear a sports bra like nursing bra.
I think I'm thinking wayyyy too much into this!
-
@rahlyrah: pack both and see what you feel like wearing? I'm going with yoga pants but our house is five minutes away from the hospital so I can always send DH back to get something else.
-
I wore a black long sleeve maxi dress. I didn't know if I'd end up with a c-section, and didn't want anything that would have to go across my stomach. I didn't have a c-section, but the flowy dress was very comfy on my PP body!
-
Looseish yoga/lounge pants and a t shirt.
-
I wore maternity yoga pants, a nursing tank and flip flops (it was August). But I agree with @swedishfish: if you have the room in your bag, pack both and wait and see what's more comfortable.
-
@autumnlove: I was definitely wearing mesh panties! Forgot to specify that! Loooooooved me some mesh drawers:)
-
@swedishfish: Good idea. I should have plenty of room for both. A dress doesn't take up much room!
@PrincessBaby: What are mesh panties?!
-
@rahlyrah: they're these big huge like 10ft x 10ft panties that the hospital gives you to hold your big huge 10ft x 10ft maxi pad and they come up to your armpits and hold your 10ft x 10ft PP swollen belly in. They are so comfy that no one cares how hideous they are!
-
Yoga pants, nursing tank, and a zip hoodie! Yoga pants weren't too tight on my belly, although it wasn't sore anyway, so it wouldn't have mattered (may be different if you have a c/s though!). I lived in my yoga pants for probably the first two weeks....so comfy! I'd say the only hesitation with a dress is trying to BF in it without having to pull the entire dress up. Maybe I'm the only dummy who never mastered that, but I never wore maxi dresses because of it!
-
@PrincessBaby: YES. I hoarded me some mesh panties. I took like 10 boxes from the hospital. I asked all the different nurses for a box.
-
@PrincessBaby: Oooohhhh! Nice! Just making sure it isn't something I should purchase ahead of time
-
@rahlyrah: Thanks for asking about the mesh undies - I didn't have them and never could quite envision how exactly they worked. Now I know! I just wore plain black cheapo undies that I'd bought from target in a size larger than I normally wear and wore those - they were fine.
-
@photojane: Me too:). I wanted to wear them forever! DH said nooooooooooo:)
-
@rahlyrah: The hospital will give them to you, along with the biggest pads you have ever seen in your life:). Take a bunch- they don't care!
-
I am packing an ON foldover skirt, nursing top and flip flops, but have some maternity sweatpants as a backup in case I am in no mood to put on a skirt.
-
Sweatsuit and nursing tank under the zip up hoodie.
I second everyone else, looks were not my main priority!
-
i wore yoga pants, the mesh undies (yay! -- they were more like boy short cut), nursing tank, and zip up hoodie. it was spring, though!
if it was really hot i'd either wear the same, or a loose maxi (dress or skirt) would be nice too!
-
@tlcbaby: I wore an ON fold over skirt home and it was super comfy! I also wore a loose top and flip flops. I was very comfortable!
-
@rahlyrah: I needed pants to hold up my underwear and giant pads, lol
-
so gross but i wore the same thing i went to the hospital in...i grossly underestimated how flabby i would be!
-
Yoga pants w/fold-over waistband, nursing tank, and loose sweater.
-
Yoga pants, maternity t shirt, flip flops.
-
@PrincessBaby: I can't imagine why. They're so sexy.
-
@shopaholic: same.plus uggs.
-
I wore a loose dress. It was perfect! I'll probably wear the same thing for baby #2.
-
Yoga pants, flip flops, nursing bra, mesh panties, and a very loose top.
-
I wore loose house/yoga pants, a bra (which I regret with my sore nipples), t shirt and a zip up sweatshirt. Be comfy.
-
I had pants and ended up with a c/s so they weren't very comfortable. Next time I would take a loose, comfy dress. My feet were also insanely swollen from being hooked up to an IV 24/7 for 5 days so, I didn't have great shoes either. So, think about footwear that would work for you if you swelled a bit.
-
I wore yoga pants, a nursing tank, cardi and sandals (ugly kegs ones because I had huge shrek feet that wouldn't even fit in flip flops. I was so comfy! I had a section and didn't mind the pants over my post-op belly at all. I ditched the mesh panties, because I felt like my ass was like a bundle of cottage cheese squeezed in a cheese cloth in them ... Gross! I wore black 100% cotton boy cut underwear pp, and found it the most comfortable.
-
Nursing tank, long sleeve tshirt and yoga pants. Pretty sure I had flip flops on too cause the night my water broke it was really nice out. It was cold when we went home.
-
yoga pants, a maternity shirt and sneakers.
