What kind of shirts did you pack and wear in your hospital bag? Links or pictures would be great!!
I have a couple nursing tanks, but should I have actual tops?
-
I wore nursing singlets when in room but also had a cardigan and loose polo shirt to wear if I left our room.
-
I think a nursing tank is fine with a hoodie/sweater but I packed simple nursing tshirts with my second and was much more comfortable when I had visitors. IMO nursing shirts were so much easier than layering regular clothes.

I got a set similar to this for when I had visitors. It was really comfortable. At night or when we didn't have visitors I wore a hospital gown (you bleed so much and I didn't want to ruin my clothes). When we were discharged I wore a nursing tank and yoga pants. If you're planning to BF I'd just do nursing tanks and maybe a cardigan or robe if you think you'll be cold.

@Mrsjets: I have that exact shirt! I will for sure bring that!
@Kemma: great idea on the cardigan!!
-
target has great nursing tanks. i would definitely pack those, and a thin zip up hoodie.
after i delivered and was in the recovery room, i was in the hospital gown most of the time just because things are icky and there is a lot of bleeding. however looking back, i hated how loose and uncomfy the hospital gowns were. i think for my next delivery, i'll bring very loose yoga or sweat pants. for a vaginal birth, they will give you HUGE stretchy mesh undies with the most gigantic pad you've ever seen, and will sit you on top of a doggy pee pad.
so glam huh?! but just that set up made me want to stay put in the hospital gown...but i packed regular clothes for going home.
-
@lawbee11: I bought this same set and thought it was great.
I also brought a pair of yoga pants to wear with nursing tanks and a big cardigan sweater. I did t bring other type shirts.
-
I didn't have any special shirts but I did wear nursing bras. Like supernovaj, I wore a hospital gown most of the time because it was easy to pull down for baby to feed and I didn't care about getting blood all over it.
-
Maternity tanks, but I didn't put one on until leaving the hospital. I wore the gown the whole time, I wasn't expecting to, but it ended up being really comfortable and easy to nurse in, and I could get a fresh one anytime.
-
Giant t-shirts and nursing bras.
-
I wore the hospital gown the entire time in the hospital, but I didn't have many visitors. Even if I had I don't think I would have cared. Everything is so messy and they come and check down there like twenty times a day so it was so easy.
I did bring a couple of nursing tanks (target) which is what I wore home- loose yoga pants, nursing tank, and I had a zip up hoodie but didn't wear it since it was hot.
-
I brought: Nursing tanks and a tunic.
I wore: The hospital gown. Things were icky, it was roomy, and I didn't want to mess up my own clothes. -
I wore the hospital gown the entire time. I left in a dress since I didn't wanna deal with pants.
-
I brought a bunch of clothes (nursing tanks, cardigans, yoga pants) but never got out of the hospital gown until it was time to go home. It just made life so much easier - and cleaner! I wore one of my maternity dresses home.
-
@SupernovaJ: Lol... the part of giving birth that no one tells you about!!
-
@lawbee11: That is an awesome top
-
After then initial ickiness I wore a nursing tank and yoga pants. I was not comfortable in the hospital gown with visitors, I felt very exposed. I also liked to be in a chair instead of the bed after my c section. My bottom got sore from sitting in the same position in bed.
-
I wore pjs/nightgowns the whole time.
-
I took loose nightgowns and a nursing tank and a robe, but honestly stayed in the gowns they gave me until my last day. Don't know if it's because I had an unplanned c section but it was just so much easier to be in their gown and just cover up with a robe if we had to go to nicu or if visitors came. If we have another, I'm not even going to bother with any clothes except going home outfit and a robe.
-
I had nursing tanks and cardigans, and after birth wore of one D's button-up Hawaiian shirts.
-
@WinterBee:
Apologies if it was TMI! Regardless of what you wear, you will be too in love with LO to really care. But yes, always bring options!
-
Thank you so much for all of the suggestions! It's totally what I thought, I feel like it's split 50-50 on the staying in the hospital robe or wearing your own clothes. I think I'll bring some clothes with just in case I decide I want to wear my own!
-
I wore nursing tops with a bathrobe.
-
@SupernovaJ: Can never be enough TMI lol. I want to know everything!
-
I mostly wore nursing tanks with a hoodie and yoga pants. I had a c-section though so my bleeding wasn't out of control (they suction a LOT out). I don't really like hospital gowns and I didn't have to worry about getting checked except for my incision.
-
I had like a long button up night shirts. I didn't shower so I just stayed in that and then wore nursing tank/hoodie and maternity leggings home.
so glam huh?! but just that set up made me want to stay put in the hospital gown...
