After you delivered, did you wear the hospital gowns or did you wear your own clothes?
The first time I wore just the hospital gown since it seemed like someone was in there every 5 minutes poking at my belly, looking at my legs, the lactation nurse, etc. The second time, I wore my own.
Re: s/o Did you wear the hospital gown?
With P, yes - I wore their shizz. However, that was only b/cI was completely and utterly swollen from the c-section and eleventy billion gallons of of pitocin and saline that I was given in a 24 hour period and. It was ridic!
With C, I was in my own clothes the next morning (again, after a c-section sans the elephantitis).

with dd, I was out of it for a couple of days (preeclampsia, mag drip)... I was in the gown.
with ds, I had a better delivery and s/s of pree vanished with delivery... I wore a glamourmom tank, old scrub pants and put my gown on backwards to walk the floor.

No. I'm petite and they are always too big, so I'm constantly adjusting them, falling off my shoulders, riding up my legs. I HATE nightgows because they get twisted and bunched up.
Both times I bought a $12 pair of pj's at WalMart that I didn't care if they got ruined. They didn't get ruined either time, and then I had something to wear at home the first few weeks while still bleeding. I felt human in pj's. And I could be covered up without worrying about flashing myself to visitors.

Gown. I was in the hospital for less than 36 hours with each of my two youngest. I didn't really see any point in changing.
