What did you wear while in the hospital??

Besides the hospital issued gown for the actual delivery, I was trying to find a really comfy outfit that would be appropriate for when random extended family/church pastor/friends visit but something that I can just whip out a boob when needed. Let me know what worked and what didn't in the post-partum hours. 

Thanks!!!

    DS was born at 11pm so I wore the hospital gown until the next morning. I got a black 3/4 sleeve cotton night gown that went a little below my knees. I loved it! It was V-neck  and I wore a nursing tank under it so I could easily breastfeed. I got it at Target

    I got a cute Nursing PJ set from Motherhood.  I loved it.  I felt like I looked nice and was really comfy.  A lot of people will say not to waste your money, but in the end i think it was totally worth it.

    When I had DS I just wore a t-shirt and PJ pants.  It was really hard to nurse in that when you had visitors.  The nursing PJs were awesome!

    I brought a nursing tank and pj bottoms but afterward you're bleeding so much that I didn't want to ruin them! I stayed in the hospital gown!

    I just wore the nursing gowns that the hospital had with a comfy pair of my maternity yoga pants underneath..  They're different from the gown you wear during delivery.

    I wore the gown the entire time, even after delivery you are going to leak all sorts of evil from your orifices. I had to get a catheter 5 times because my urethra wasn't working right AND I was just too darn exhausted to care what I looked like to friends and family.

    For baby #1 I wore a hospital gown the whole time.  For baby #2 I wore pajamas and a robe.  I felt much better in the PJs and would definitely go that route again.

    Yoga pants and a nursing tank.  I found the hospital gown way too difficult to BF in.

    I stayed in the hospital gown the whole time. I didn't have extended visitors so I didn't care what I looked like.

    Pajama pants and a nursing tank. I had a robe too. I hated the hospital gown. I wore a nursing tank under it during labor which helped me feel human and the dr/nurses didn't mind, even when I had my epi and ended up having a c section.

    I was in the hospital for 3 days and I wore the gown the whole time. It was so much easier for me.

    If you are coming to visit me in the hospital you better be expecting to see me in hospital clothes!  I did bring a robe and socks to wear with the gown though.

    I hated that hospital gown and brought a few gowns I found at target. They both had easy access tops for feeding and long enough for people walking in. There is always a sheet if you really cover up. I was really hot in the hospital room but I think it was C/S induced hot flashes.

    I bought a couple pairs of cheap yoga pants and some nursing tanks.  I had DS in the morning and changed into these the next morning.  They were WAY more comfy.  I hated the hospital gown!

    I pretty much just wore the hospital gown. When people came to see me I wore sweatpants and a t-shirt. I would definitely bring a nursing tank with you.

    this. my mom bought me a matching nightgown and robe. you dont really want to spend much on a outfit because you will probably be bleeding a lot.

    This. I was in so much pain and exhausted I could care less what other people thought. The gown was easy to work with.

    I didn't give a crap what I looked like and I wore the hospital gown up until the morning we left. It was easier since I bled all kinds of crazy. I wasn't going to get that on MY clothes.

    I wore a nightgown and a robe. It wasn't a nursing one but it was loose enough to pull down to nurse. I got it from Target. I also wore a nursing tank underneath. I thought I could wear pajama pants, but I'm so glad I didn't try. No way did I want to deal with pants -- too much going on down there.

    Mostly I wore my own sundress/nighty type clothes. Like this:image

     

    I didn't wear pants b/c I was too worried about pissing myself, which was a problem for me at the time.  I didn't like the hospital gowns b/c they were ugly and had big holes where my boobs were and we had non stop visitors.

    Nursing Tanks and gauchos/maternity yoga pants....

    I had a c section and didn't want anything rubbing around the incision area....also had a hoodie if I got cold.
